We've been to Las Vegas about six times. We've visited Bellagio for a meal and shopping, but this was our first time to stay there. I would say that in many ways the Bellagio is the best on the Strip. The location couldn't be better. The interior decor and finish is exceptional. I'm a bit of a furniture enthusiast so I notice things like the chairs. At Bellagio you can sit in a $1,500 designer Louis XVI chair while you eat your crepes in the marble promenade. Most of the other casinos use something more like a $200 pottery barn throw away chair and serve pretzels and hot dogs. Walk through the casino floor and listen to Frank Sinatra and you get a classy feeling. Other casinos? Well, I remember hearing Sweet Home Alabama several times and I felt like I was back in college looking for someone with a beer bong. I guess there is something for everyone but the Bellagio just feels right for us.\n\nThe location is in the heart of the strip and it has many beautiful attractions that don't have a fee (rare in Vegas). Subsequently, it gets very crowded. That is the major downside.\n\nThe food ranges from \"good\" to \"unbelievable\" depending on your budget. I've seen other reviews that complain of $8 rolls, but c'mon people, this is Vegas. They get you in with a low cost hotel room (we paid $155/night total) and then you pay to play, eat, drink and enjoy. \n\nI didn't see any $8 rolls while I was there. The food prices seem reasonable for a luxury hotel. I would even say it's cheap compared to others. I've paid $30 for breakfast at The Le Meridian in Munich and it is not nearly as good $15 breakfast buffet at Bellagio. The service is good as well. It's not great, but what do you expect at a buffet? I never found myself needing more coffee. That's enough for me.\n\nThe standard room is decent size and comfortable for staying a few days with two people. It would be cramped with four. I've had better and I've had worse. We stayed in the Spa tower and had a full view of the fountains. That was nice. \n\nI selected \"No\" on the \"Good for Kids\" rating. There are not really any attractions or activities for kids at Bellagio. On a personal note, I really can't understand why you would bring kids to Vegas in the first place. It seems like a good place for getting away from kids to me.\n\nI expect that we will stay at Bellagio on our next trip to Vegas.
