text: I am torn If the Bellagio were not in Las Vegas or if it did not position itself as a luxury hotel I would definitely give it more stars However precisely because the hype raised my expectations I was a little disappointednnCheckin was pleasant The lobby is certainly a knockout However I cannot understand why they have a separate line for each checkin clerk instead of a single line It is wellknown that separate lines because more anxiety and make people feel resentful when someone who arrived after them is helped firstnnThe room was attractive and comfortable However just two weeks earlier I stayed in a DoubleTree and the room at the Bellagio was not much better in fact in some ways it was worse There was no place near the desk to plug in a laptop Yes there was one outlet with two plugs but they were already taken up by the wifi and a lamp The lighting was dim with a particularly dark spot between the bed and the TV The bed at the DoubleTree was softer My bed sloped slightly the upper right corner was noticeably lower than the rest There was Kleenex only in the bathroom and it was cheap undersized and rough I could not reset the time on the alarm clock which was running minutes slow throughout my staynnThe extradeep bathtub was wonderful though And the shower was attractive and larger than in the ordinary hotel though I have had larger showers in Las VegasnnThe water show is fun and overthetop But of course you do not have to be staying at the Bellagio to watch itnnAll told I am glad I gave the Bellagio a try and I definitely did enjoy the experience but I think you could do better in Las Vegas for the same price
