Some hotels may charge extra for a rollaway bed or a crib - depending upon age. This possible extra charge is not always displayed by the hotel to appear with the list of available rates offered.
In order to make sure that you see the exact rate that you will be charged for an accommodation for more than 2 adults, it is best to double-check by
emailing us at customer service
with your dates and the ages of your children. We will be happy to confirm rates and availability for you.

Created by Steve Wynn, and it’s in Las Vegas. Safe to say then, the Bellagio is an extravagant place — it's the size of a small town, and comes complete with its own theatres, fountains, art galleries, restaurants, and, obviously, wedding chapels and casinos. We all know that over the last few years Vegas has grown civilized, adopting a classy accent and acquiring a couture wardrobe; but even so, the Bellagio, which opened in 1998, is to this city what Henry Higgins was to Eliza Doolittle. It set the example as the first major hotel for people who wanted the bacchanalia of Vegas, but without the slot machines and 99-cent spaghetti buffets.
Unlike the Venetian and Vegas Paris, the Bellagio doesn’t try to model itself after a major European city. Its inspiration is more modest. It’s built in the style of a small village on Lake Como — that is, if sweet lakeside villages came with four spas, a botanical garden, and a sushi bar. For even in posh Vegas, there's no such thing as enough. The check-in desk is set in an 18th-century-style garden, complete with cherubs, and the main offices are hidden behind a palazzo facade. Every half hour, a dancing fountain spurts out water to the rhythm of Pavarotti tunes. In the lobby, a hundred hand-blown Dale Chihuly glass flowers hang from the ceiling, and the suites are excessive, with not one marble bath, but two.
Non-gamblers will love the Bellagio for the multitude of other ways you can squander money—namely, every pricey boutique from Fred Leighton to Armani and Chanel. Gastronomes can sate their appetites with restaurants from the Maccioni family, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Todd English. There are also cultural delights for the non-hedonistically inclined. The circus isn’t just your token elephants and clowns, it's surrealist wonder Cirque du Soleil. If aesthetes aren’t satisfied by the Picassos hanging in the restaurant, there’s always the Impressionist gallery with everyone from Monet to Matisse. Yes, there will always be people who scowl at the Bellagio for its shameless display of conspicuous consumption. But you’d have to wonder what they're doing in Vegas in the first place.
How to get there:
Bellagio is 3 1/2 miles from McCarran International Airport.
The Decor is probably the most dated and deeply offensive I have seen in a hotel in the last ten years. Las Vegas has a very unique style which can work in hotels like the Palazzio, however The Bellagio is simply dated to the point of being laugh out loud funny. The Lobby is complete with grubby cartpets and drapes from the very worst of the 1980s. I was charged $28 for 24hours of internet access, which in this day and age is just incredible. I expect free wireless internet access will very soon basic in the 21st century. However as the Bellagio is still clearly set in 1982 I really should not have been suprised.
Quiet room, fabulous view looking at the fountains with the music available on the TV.
Automatic drape closures
CONSTANT EXPECTATIONS FROM BELL HOPS, ETC . FOR TIPS.
I Disliked
Concierge 'kellan' did not follow my request to confirm a pick up I had arranged. I was late for the pick up. Bellagio concierge superviser listened to complaint & gave a rebate of $100. & use of a limo for a trip shopping (1 hr)which was appreciated
In general the facilities were execllent. In particular the room was very spacious with superb bathroom. The gaming areas are much better than the competitors we saw and the croupiers offer lots of help to the amateur gamblers.
I did not use the spa facilities so cannot comment on them.
The location of the hotel was superb and allowed for plenty of walking on the strip and access to the other hotels.
I Disliked
The pool area was well laid out but suffered from guests reserving beds and not using them for several hours leaving space available for anyone who gets up late.
The buffer queue was always long leaving only the Cafe as a reasonably priced food option, especially for breakfast. The Cafe food and service was excellent.
The TV reception was very poor (not an issue as we spent little time in the room).
The Tablet Hotels Meter is a running average of the ratings given to a hotel by registered Tablet Hotels users who have actually stayed at the hotel. The scores are based on responses to our feedback survey, which is sent automatically to every user after the completion of a hotel stay booked through Tablet Hotels. We receive responses every day, the scores change accordingly - in real-time.
This way we can be absolutely certain of the integrity of the rating process - on some travel websites, there is nothing preventing the General Manager from giving his own hotel a perfect score, or the concierge from across the street, posing as a dissatisfied guest, giving his competitor all zeros. You have probably seen questionable user reviews on other websites, whether flowery advertising copy written by fake guests, or vague negative attacks written anonymously. You will not see any of this on Tablet Hotels.
How does a hotel remain a Tablet Hotel?
We have selected nothing but the most unique and extraordinary properties from around the world, but circumstances at individual hotels can change quickly. Therefore it is up to our customers to inform us if one of our properties has taken a turn for the worse. The Tablet Hotels Meter works on a 20-point scale, and for a hotel to keep its place on Tablet Hotels, the magic number is 15.
This is not just an arbitrary figure; we have two years' worth of data, from past user feedback, and we have found that the hotels whose scores drop below 15 are those experiencing recurring problems, and guest detailed reports reflect the same serious concern, whether it be service, room quality, noise or something else.
The Tablet Hotels Meter will not display a score until we have had at least two customers rate the hotel. This way one person's unfortunate stay cannot carry too much weight. And once five guests have returned their verdicts, the rating becomes a more scientific measure of the opinion of the average guest. At this point, if the hotel's average overall score drops below 15, the hotel will be automatically removed from the site.
Your opinion really does count; in this case, it is the only thing keeping the hotels you visit on the site. On a more positive note, the hotels with top scores are featured in our "Tablet 10" lists. And as a side benefit, this system will encourage hotels to extend their best level of service to Tablet Hotels users - we turn every Tablet Hotels client into a reviewer!
This is a moderated forum; all hotel reviews and travel recommendations must follow the Tablet Hotels and Tablet Talk guidelines below. We will not publish a hotel review or a travel recommendation unless it is:
Original
Please don't quote from other sources or otherwise reprint material published elsewhere, including your own comments on other travel review sites.
Relevant to other travelers
This is not a forum for general political, ethical or religious opinions. Nor is it a place for questions or comments directed to property representatives, Tablet Inc. staff, or other Tablet Talk members - we encourage you to use private channels for such communications. It should go without saying that we don't want to see personal insults or language that a reasonable observer might deem offensive. And please keep your submissions current - no need to mention a trip that happened more than two years ago.
A personal opinion or recommendation
Hotel reviews are restricted to verified guests who booked their stays through TabletHotels.com. Likewise, travel recommendations must be based on first-hand experience. No recommendations or reviews written by owners or managers posing as guests, or by current or past employees, or second-hand hearsay from others. If your friend/cousin/neighbor has something to contribute then you should invite them to join the community so that they may share their opinions themselves.
We do not allow recommendations to be written based on incentives from property owners/management. Offering discounts or upgrades or other special treatment in exchange for reviews is very much against the rules, and any property found to be engaging in this sort of thing will be dealt with most unforgivingly.
Non-commercial
Comment spam is a serious problem, and we will reject even the most borderline cases. No commercial web address, e-mail addresses or contact information. No promotional material of any kind. We reserve the right to reject any URL for any reason.
Written with standard e-mail etiquette
This is a forum with a broad readership; don't assume that hotel owners in Milan and travel agents in Guangzhou are familiar with the latest slang and shorthand, or that typographic symbols will be rendered properly across all platforms. Please don't shout in ALL CAPS - in general, keep it readable. And for various boring technical reasons, HTML tags and most forms of text and paragraph formatting, even simple lists, will not survive the posting process.

It's our party
Tablet Inc. reserves the right to remove any hotel review or travel recommendation at its sole discretion, for violation of the above guidelines or for any other reasons.
These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
