text: Ever stumbled to the fridge in the middle of the night in a thirstcrazed stupor and taken a giant swig out of the pitcher you thought contained deliciously wet water only to be shocked into a horrifyingly awake state by a disgusting slurp of the worlds oldest orange juice That was our experience last weekend at Bellagio Insert Debbie Downer waa waa sound here nnFirst a little context for this review I am thankful to have had the opportunity to visit Sin City over a dozen times And since it opened in I have been dreaming of the day I would get to stay at the sparkly crown jewel of the strip that is Bellagio nnSecond please know I did not expect canopied beds made of fluffy pink cotton candy or prancing ponies lining the walls but I did expect a clean wellmaintained property And while I anticipated the gaming floor to be smoky I was not prepared for air so filthy that it left me with bleedingly bloodshot eyes the next day squinting at the sun from behind my sunglasses like a newborn mole rat Ugh nnWhile the service and grounds were lovely our room the hallway leading up to it and the air quality on the entire first floor sucked big time nnHere are some of the specific issues dear hubby and I encountered n Ratty towels in the bathroom n Leaky faucetn Shower fixture falling off the wall n Several sets of used roomservice drinking glasses left on the floor in the hallway for two days however after we called the front desk they were promptly removedn Paperthin walls in addition to banging doors at the crack of dawn while getting ready at the vanity in the bathroom at night I kept running out in my robe to answer what I thought was our rooms phone ringing and it was actually the phone next doorn Cracks in the crown molding n Old tube TVn Lame amenities no shower gel or bath soap Reallyn Dark poorly planned lighting since we did not have Garanimals we had to open the lightup armoire when getting dressed to ensure our clothes matched properlynnI really really really wanted to love Bellagio So I am hoping we just ended up with a crummy room instead of experiencing what our cab driver referred to as property neglect due to Bellagios involvement in the new City Center project
