Bellagio Resort - Page 2

I am writing this review from the hotel room. First let me just say how unimpressed I was at the hotel and the service.

Checkin -

Checkin took more than 30 mins. After a long 9 hour drive from San Francisco the last thing we wanted to do was wait another 30 mins to checkin to the hotel room. The lines were terribly long and there weren't enough staff to check people in.

Once we were finally checked in, we had to walk through the casino in order to get to the hotel room. With such a crowded lobby and casino you can just imagine what a hassle this was!

Room -

The room is very dated. The television set is a 27 inch Philips flat screen (notice not flat panel). One door panel of the TV cabinet was missing and they just left the screw and bolt dangling. Again is this really 5 diamond? I've stayed in many hotels all over the world and this is the first time I've ever seen this! There were markings on the walls - just wear and tear I guess over the years. There were two chairs in the room which looked very dingy and worn. And to top it off one corner of the room smelled like vomit!

Bathroom -

The bathroom is very spacious and nicely decorated. There is both a bath tub and a shower stall (the drain in the shower stall was clogged!). There is only one sink however.

Overall, I had such high expectations for this hotel and had a very disappointing experience here. In all honesty for $100 less the New York, New York hotel was not much of step down from this room at the Bellagio. If you're looking for a hotel on the strip, I would recommend the Venetian. All rooms are suites, you get more for your money, and there is easier access to the hotel room without having to lug your luggage through the casino.

I got married here and booked a salon suite, they put us in a 4th floor suite over looking constr site & no fountain view as promised by man checking us in. My fiancee went back downstairs & they put us on 21st floor w/view of fountains and said quietly to him if you stay just a couple days they put you in a not that great view,but if staying longer you get a fountain view, and that's an upgrade, but they"woudln't charge us" for this. Next day got call from front desk flowers arrived that prior nite; wedding coordin called, & no flowers came. Re; bar/if you remove an item its motion sensor'd & you get charged $4-5 as they assume you've consumed it when you may just look at ingredients. 2 of us went to front desk as we saw charges on your tv screen acct; a snippy front desk lady actually argued with us about this & was not going to take off the charges. (4-5 charges). She said read the sign. Room decor was just ok; I expected more for a suite almost 900 sq. ft. I spent a lot of $ there but I won't stay there again, nor prob not recommend it.

Beautiful room and AMAZING bathroom. Ask for a room with a view of the fountain, the show is great no matter how many times you see it. They have paid attention to every detail. The in-hotel shopping is great (Gucci, Chanel, Tiffany & Co.) - just make sure to take away the wife's credit cards before you get out of the taxi.

It was great for a weekend escape, it was taken on the 30th of May, 2007.

Stayed 3 days at Wynn. Service was so bad, we left, asking Bellagio to "save us from the Wynn." Bellagio upgraded us to suite at cost of basic room. Room was spotless, employees are happy which in turns makes very happy guests. Service was five star at the Bellagio. Management was superb. Employees wonderful. Property is stunning. Pool is magnificant and beautiful. Food A+. We will never walk into the Wynn again--ever. But we are now customers of the Bellagio from this point forward. It is, quite frankly, the best hotel on the strip--and it's all in the service.

This is the best hotel in Vegas. The casino is the best. The restaurants are the best. The lakefront rooms are the best (I love tuning tthe tv to the music for the fountains!). Service is Vegas extreme.

If you are staying in Vegas, stay at the Bellagio.
