Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas
This Mediterranean Villa-style hotel has long been admired as a place of beauty and elegance. The famous 1,200-plus dancing water fountains make this hotel a must-see for all Vegas visitors. The Tuscan-inspired design extends to “very tastefully done rooms” that have contemporary furniture and “terrific bathrooms” with Italian marble. More than a dozen “diverse dining options” are offered, from Asian at Jasmine to Mediterranean at Todd English’s Olives to cigars and caviar at Petrossian Bar. Inside, the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens change with the seasons. The resort is home to the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. With 67 acres, there’s space for an indoor botanical garden, a 8.5-acre lake in the middle of the desert, boutiques that include Prada and Chanel, and five pools housed in an Italian courtyard. And even with 3,933 rooms, the formal service remains attentive and efficient.
