Me and my girlfriend were in Vegas just before Labor Day and staying at the Bellagio was something we were looking forward to as we had 3 full days to size it up. Prices for rooms are going to vary widely, of course, but in general, the value for money perception is going to depend more on what you immediately want from your hotel: in short, Bellagio is perfectly placed on the Vegas Strip and is ostentatious about its luxury. The lobby is gorgeous and expansive, with beautiful overhead artwork looking like glossy flower petals, and the balloons behind the receptionist staff is always impressive. I especially loved how the garden is centrally located and, a 1 minute walk from the check-in area, smells fresh and alive with changing displays and landscape architecture. There was a piano bar and many (albeit expensive) options for food around.\nBe sure to read the fine print about what is defined as \""spa services\"" here. This hotel has a \""resort fee\"" that is similar to other M-Life hotels (MGM, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage to name a few) in that it covers nothing other Wi-Fi, a swimming pool and complimentary boarding pass printouts from the Concierge, and that's it. You must pay $30 a day, a PERSON, to use the spa that has bathrobes and steam rooms, and then of course, if you purchase a massage service or something along those lines, it becomes complimentary. However, after stating our case to the spa people, we both got 3 days complimentarily! So we definitely felt hooked up, but it took some effort.\nThe room itself is beautiful, maybe overhyped as far as space and amenities (for example, you have no way of using the fridge as it is there to merely provide a store for overpriced refreshments), but the view of the fountains, especially at night, is worth it. You will hear \""Luck Be a Lady\"" over and over at night, but the first time you see it will be a true joy only available in Vegas. \nAnother thing you should know about, which applies to Vegas in general, is the extent to which you will need taxis. If you choose to walk and avoid the expense of taxis, your feet will pay for it, and the heat will be an additional burden. Leaving the Bellagio from your hotel room to make it to the next closest hotel, perhaps Caesar's Palace, will take you a full 15 minutes of fast, intentional walking---and that's just LEAVING! Think about that if you like casino-hopping, you *will* pay the price.\nOther than that, Bellagio will be good to you and if you can secure a good deal, it will be memorable, even if you elect not to stay there again.
