text: I have been to Vegas at least times and have stayed in at least different hotels I have seen how bad things can get Westward Ho and I have seen the five star side of things Venetian During my visits I almost always visited the Bellagio to play poker or just hang out because I felt it was the classiest joint on the strip I always dreamed of staying there but the high price was hard to justifynnSo this was my first stay at the Bellagio and I saw things that I had never seen before Things such as per day WiFi access handling fee per letter to receive mail at the hotel per minute computer usage and a per day fridge rental fee I heard things that I had never heard before in a hotel namely my neighbor urinating The sound coming through crisp and loud through the vent above the camode The constant sound of dripping water in the shower drain And dealers informing me that I have to bet per hand at blackjack to get MGMMirage rewardsnnIn addition to surprises there were things that I found simply disappointing The pool closed at PM The CRT television had around stations and of them were in Chinese And most requests hangers pillows towels took an average of minutes to arrive Yes I actually timed each request because I had read another review on Yelp about how fast they had things delivered they said usually in less than minutesnnIs this just a negative review No I hope not There are some really nice things at the Bellagionn choice of down or foam pillowsn the fountain show and an amazing view of the stripn fancy and expensive restaurantsn comfortable beds with good linensn a fancy bathroom with a beautiful glass shower and large tubn almost as much marble as the other nice hotels on the stripn a very helpful conceirge desk although sometimes understaffedn lots of shaded parking close to the lobby but not to our towern good invisible and quiet ventilation in the bathroomn reliable and quiet HVAC with degree incrementsn electric curtains although the switch was not near the windown clock radio with iPod dock although not for iTouch or iPhonennWhen we checked out of the hotel we had an overwhelming sense of being nickle and dimed despite paying a premium to stay there Perhaps after reading this review you will not suffer the same sticker shock and awe and can enjoy your stay knowing how much you will be billed when you check outnnWill I go back and stay there again Yes I will Not having a flat panel TV is not the most important thing about staying at a hotel The most important thing is making my wife happy and she absolutely loved the spa As far as I know only guests are able to use the spa on weekends so that will be the one reason we will return
