Bliss At The Bellagio |  |
The 
is one beautiful hotel! Everything is perfect:
|
The stunning Dale Chihuly ceiling in the lobby, | |
|
the indoor Conservatory and Botanical Gardens lush with flowers, | |
 |
 |
the beautifully landscaped pools, |
 |
and the breathtaking choreographed fountains. (There’s also an art gallery that sounded great, but at $12 a person, we passed it up). We had a large room with a perfect view of the fountains for about $200 a night – be sure to ask for a fountain view. | |
The only disappointments were the in-house restaurants. The outdoor café at the pools was great for breakfast and lunch (be sure to try the watermelon juice), but the gourmet restaurants (Le Cirque, Circo, Nectar, Prime Steakhouse, Picasso, Aqua, Noodles, Jasmine, Olives, and Shintaro) were expensive and difficult to get into.
We tried in vain to get reservations for Le Cirque and Picasso a few days in advance during the crowded week before Memorial Day. We ate once at Olives and were underwhelmed. The other two nights we ate at Nectar – the food was fine, if not memorable, but it’s an interior restaurant with no view.
