I am one of the Vegas \"Low Rollers.\"\nMy philosophy on trips to Vegas is to have as much quality fun as possible on as little money as possible.\nSo for that philosophy, I have not stayed at the Bellagio until this summer when they made the rates so very reasonable.\nI glad they did ....\nWhat an absolute great experience.\nAs a \"low roller,\" I got to experience the vegas experience as a \"high roller.\"\n\nFirst, \nthere are no other hotels on the strip that have a comperable to the collective beauty of the lobby, the atrium and the casino of the Bellagio.\nSecond,\n there is no more romantic experience than watching the fountains of the Bellagio under the pines and listening to Andea Bocelli.\nIt does not get better than that ......\n\nOne of the really enjoyable aspects of the casino is their drink service. Most casinos bring you watered downdrinks in small glasses. \nThe Bellagio brings drinks just as you would get in the lounge \nand they come in glasses that are reasonable in size.... \nI asked for a gin and tonic \nand the server asked if I wanted it made with Tanqueray. \nI am not sure what the well gin is for most casinos, but I expect that it is not Tanqueray.\n\nWhat an amazing choice of enjoyable venues for lunch and dinner.\nOnce again, the summer tasting menus made eating affordable.\nAn excellent lunch at Olives was something I did not expect to do while in Vegas.\n\nThe Cirque du Soleil evening show, \"O\" is the best in vegas. There is an amazing sculpture collection of Richard MacDonald in the lobby of the theater.\nArt abounds everywhere in the hotel and casino.\nThe shopping is upscale, an amazing set of boutiques\n\nFinally, the five pool swimming area is just an expression of class.\nThey have fountains in the center, the architecture is amazing.\nI understand that two of the pools are heated or warmed, but the pool I used was very nicely cooled due to the heat of the summer.\nA wonderful afternoon experience.\n\nThe hotel staff was very friendly and provided me an excellent room that helped make this a special summer visit.\n\nThe Bellagio is on of the crown jewels of the strip. \nI feel fortunate .....\n to be able to finally experience all the resort has to offer.
