The hotels in Las Vegas are specifically built and engineered to keep you inside as long as possible, all in the hopes of extracting the maximum sum of money from your already endangered pockets.
The Bellagio is one of the ultra posh hotels on the Vegas strip but it more known for its fabulous water fountain show on the Strip.
The iconic fountain show helps the brand. The outstanding lobby, known for the gaudy and colourful hand-blown glass flowers peering from high above their spectacular ceiling stage. A lot of people like it, a lot of people hate it … but you can’t help but take a picture.
As you walk through the hotel, I’ve always found that 5 things are must do’s at the Bellagio.
- Bellagio Lobby (15 mins)
- Chocolate Fountain (5 mins)
- Botanical Gardens (30 mins)
- Water Fountain show (15 mins)
- The buffet!!!
I’ve always found that looking at a fountain of white and dark chocolate to be absolutely mesmerizing … maybe because I’ll never eat it, or I have enough fun watching other people watch the fountain.
As for the Botanical Gardens, the display changes every season and is absolutely gorgeous both at day and night. At Christmas time, they have a fantastic Santa display.
As for the buffet …
