The Las Vegas Strip is famous all over the world for its glamorous hotels and casinos. The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas is one of the most elegant complexes, having been inspired by the Italian resort of Bellagio by Lake Como. Gambling, entertainment, dining and accommodation are first class at the five diamond establishment.

Bellagio was built with true European architecture and interior design. This magnificent hotel has upscale luxurious rooms, shopping and top of the line gourmet restaurants throughout the property. The glass ceilings in this casino provide natural lighting, which separates it from all the other casinos

The grounds are lovely too and the 18 acre artificial lake at the front of the hotel is the venue for the much loved Fountains of Bellagio display of music and lights. The musical extravaganza is repeated thoughtout the day and features a variety of music, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Aaron Copland and Handel. The natural world is also on show at the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, which has free admission and the gardens are open 24 hours a day.

Guest’s rooms contain a flat screen television with pay per view movies, mini bar and in room safe. There are a number of up market stores in the Bellagio Hotel Las Vegas complex, including Tiffany and Chanel. Guests can enjoy the use of six different swimming pools. There are several restaurants, including the award winning Le Cirque, a French cuisine experience by the lake. Japanese and Chinese restaurants are also first class and there is a traditional steakhouse.

At the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art there is a small but quite impressive display of dozens of works by masters such as Picasso, Monet, van Gogh and others. You tour is aided by an audio presentation. Art lovers will certainly find this to be a must visit spot on their Las Vegas vacation.

If you are looking for a show to see while in Las Vegas, Bellagio is home to a Cirque du Soleil show simply called O. In Italian, O means water and that is what this show is all about with 85 acrobats and swimmers performing in and above a 1.5 million gallon pool of water.
