From the moment guests enter the lobby of the Bellagio Las Vegas and glimpse the Fiori di Como, the massive Dale Chihuly chandelier comprised of 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers, they experience a rarefied world. Accommodations range from 500-square-foot king rooms to upscale three-bedroom villas with fireplaces, private bars and workout rooms. A full-service spa and salon offers poolside massages and private room parties. The public areas feature art exhibits, shopping arcades, restaurants and nightclubs.
Casinos are a primary destination for most Las Vegas visitors, and the Bellagio has a AAA Five-Diamond Award-winning casino. Featuring two poker rooms, table games and slots, the casino has played host to the World Poker Tour. Club Prive, the high-limit lounge, features art deco decor and a speakeasy-style bar. The race and sports book area boats 150 state-of-the-art screens, a lounge area with leather seats and cocktail service to go along with a variety of betting options. The slots floor contains 2,300 reel and video poker games, from penny slots to $1,000-machines.
The Cirque du Soleil performs twice a night on Wednesdays through Sundays at the Bellagio's "O" Theatre, which is reminiscent of a European opera house. The show features an international cast of acrobats, clowns, synchronized swimmers and divers, and is notable for combining water, stage and aerial acts. Children under five are not permitted in the "O" Theatre.
If exploring Las Vegas nightlife is your goal, the Bellagio offers venues from the intimate to the outrageous: Caramel is a small, relaxing cocktail lounge; the lakeside Fontana Bar features live entertainment, a dance floor and an extensive drink menu; the Petrossioan Lounge is an elegant venue that serves a traditional afternoon tea service, and offers live piano music, caviar and premium cigars. Visit the Baccarat Bar for a view of the action on the casino floor while you enjoy specialty drinks and cigars. The high-energy Bank is the largest nightclub at the Bellagio, with VIP booths that line a glass-enclosed dance floor.
Approximately every half-hour, the famous Bellagio fountains put on a massive show of water and light, which is intricately choreographed to a range of Broadway, classical and opera music. The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens offer rare plants and flowers from around the world set in a changing display of gazebos, bridges, ponds and water features. Galleries with changing art exhibits and five swimming pools round out the family-friendly amenities.
Shopping at the Bellagio encompasses signature shops and designer boutiques. With jewelry from Tiffany, bags from Gucci and Fendi, and fashion at Prada, Armani and Chanel, upscale tastes are well-represented. A garden store offers decorative home items. Exclusive artwork and sculpture can be found at the Gallery of Fine Art. Other shops offer children's items, Cirque du Soleil souvenirs, shoes and accessories, menswear, wine and cigars.
