I stayed at Bellagio for a whole week while attending a business conference, and then a little extra to party with friends. Honestly I wasn't very impressed. GRANTED, this was my first trip to Vegas and I work in the travel/hospitality industry, so my opinion may be somewhat colored. \n\nThe staff is very friendly, but inconsistent. Everyone working the conference was amazing and spot-on - some of the best hospitality work I've ever encountered. Outside that, however, it was a little dicey. The front desk workers were borderline incompetent, the concierge was extremely rude, and even the casino dealers were snarky and pushy about being tipped, even if we were losing. The cocktail waitresses take FOREVER. I know they have to take several orders and travel great distances in tiny outfits, but 20 minutes for a beer seems excessive. On top of that, I had $100 stolen from my guest room and the hotel seemed very unconcerned. \n\nThe food is pretty good. I ate at Olive and Yellowtail, both of which are very expensive but tasty. The breakfast buffet at Buffet is worth the $15 if you can eat a lot... not a good hangover place though.\n\nThe rooms were fine and clean, but very tired and outdated. I know the hotel is in the process of renovating, but unfortunately I did not get to see any of the improvements. Maybe in a year or two it will be a whole new experience. \n\nI'd consider going back, but would probably try a different hotel first. If I'm paying top dollar I want the applicable quality.
