Driving up to the Bellagio, Las Vegas, it would be hard not to recognize the
Fountains of Bellagio. I like to refer it to as the "Lake of Romance" for the countless couples mesmerized by the fountains spell.
It's also a FUN show for the whole family starting on schedule, as said by Bellagio website :

show every 15 minutes
*On Sundays Fountain show times begin at 11 a.m. and run every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the Fountains Brunch at Jasmine.
Our Experience :
Coming through the main entrance lobby, your eyes are immediately glued to the chandelier boasting a colorful boutique arrangement seemly dancing across the 18 foot ceiling. It's a step into elegance, showcasing it's artistic glass sculpture called "Fiori di Como" sculptured by Dale Chihuly.
Your arrival is greeted by, what I like to call a "Guest Services Specialist", who really do care about your stay. I felt like I was getting that special VIP treatment. The seamless check-in host gave us a FREE upgrade to a deluxe room on the 27th floor overlooking the glorious Fountains of Bellagio.
Seriously.
I really did feel like a "Hollywood Star" stepping into our room. You know you made the right choice when everything you see takes your breathe away from the adore of luxury.
The next morning, we woke up well-rested in our lavish King-size bed made for any Queen or King.
Breakfast was next on our list, so we decided to try out Café Bellagio. I love how you get to stroll through the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens in order to get to Café Bellagio; such a beautiful setting. Watching the humming effect of what you could be referred to as a "fine-running-machine", the hostess to your server gave that immediate attention. In little time at all, the long line of guests were looked after in minutes, seated with a fresh coffee to start your day.
And the food - AWESOME!
Great tasting portions ready to suite any hungry guest. And trust me - I love my food! If it's good I'm impressed, but when the whole experience is simply wonderful, I'm ecstatic !
Seriously.
Service now-a-days is the hardest thing to find. It's indeed a pleasure when your whole body relaxes from the fine-tuned friendly service. And thank you so much for the hard working Chefs giving us the most delicious meals.
Thank you! Thank you!
Are you looking for the most relaxing vacation ever? I highly recommend the Bellagio, Las Vegas. It may be more pricey than other hotels on the strip, but the luxury is well well worth it!
