My friend Mylinh likes to pronounce Bellagio, \"Beehhhhlllaaaaggiioooooo\" in an exaggerated and chichi manner. As you drive up onto the resort for the first time, you too will feel like you're affectedly elegant. \n\nI love this property! No other resort is as grand or majestic as Bellagio. This was Steve Wynn's Pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of all his creations. I can go on and on about the best free attractions in Vegas (Conservatory & Fountains), \"The Office\" (high stakes poker game in the Bellagio poker room), or even the high-end boutiques and award winning restaurants. But no, I'll just be repeating what everyone else on yelp have mentioned. As for the rooms, there was this one occasion that still stands out in my mind.\n\nThe rooms are nicely decorated, a Tuscan style feel. STANDARD ROOM: little over 500 sq ft., marble flooring, electronic controlled drapes, glass enclosed shower and separate bath tub, and luxurious linens with the most comfortable bed to lie on. The rooms can be a bit dim and needs a face lift. Don't get me wrong, I like it... but after staying here on a number of occasions... it's due for an update. It's been the same since '98, furniture is looking worn and the TVs are not even flat panel (it's the old tube televisions). \n\nNow what gets me was when I crawled into bed one night (or early morning) and the plumbing started gurgling. No matter, I had a hard night of drinking and was beat. Normally I could sleep through an earthquake... but this became annoying. It was gurgling all night. Luckily, I noticed it on my last night. I informed my host when we checked out and he did apologize. My rooms were already comped so he took it a bit further to comp my other resort incidentals. What I did find out was that this is an ongoing problem. A friend had told me the same thing occurred to her on her stay; and that cabbie's and locals even told her about this common occurrence. \n\nI only noticed this once, so it probably won't deter me from coming back. I love the central location and the casino to stop staying. What will deter me is... paying for the rooms. For what Bellagio's charging, you can get a bigger and newer room at the Palazzo. So don't stay if you gotta pay!
