South-East Asia Destination

The Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas is one of the most impressive resort hotels in the world. Built by Steve Wynn, no expense was spared in its construction. The hot el rooms at Bellagio are among the most comfortable you will find in any hotel. Only the Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay, the Venetian, and Wynn's Las Vegas hotels provide comparable hotel accommodations in Las Vegas.

The beds are to die for. Piled high with pillows, with one of the most comfortable mattresses we've ever slept on, the beds scream luxury. Super comfortable sheets don't hurt. The bathrooms are extremely nice as well. They come with huge tubs, double sinks, and a separate shower.

The hot el rooms at the Bellagio Las Vegas are not as fancy as the rooms at the Venetian Hotel, and they are not as modern as those at the Wy nn Las Vegas Hotel, but they are probably more classy than both, and are more comfortable.

One of the best attributes of the Bellagio is the superior service you will find at every turn. From the waiters and waitresses, to the front desk staff, to the casino dealers, you won't find more helpful and friendly people in Las Vegas. The service has fallen off a little since MGM Mirage took over from Steve Wynn, but it's still the best service in Las Vegas.

If you visit Las Vegas, whether you get a hotel room at the Bellagio or not, make sure you stop by to see their fabulous Cirque du Soleil show, "O". The title of the show is a play on words. The French word for water is "eau," which is pronounced like our letter "O". The name is fitting because the stage is a huge adjustable pool. The prices are high, and tickets are hard to come by, but both the money and the hassle are worth it. This is one of the best shows performed anywhere in the world. Call ahead and reserve your tickets.

Bellagio also has the best collection of r estaurants in Las Vegas.
