text: Well I did enjoy my stay at the Bellagio The room was nice and there were many really good restaurants to eat at I enjoyed the water show from both the hotel side and the street side We had arrived the day that there was a shooting on the strip between a Maserati and a Range Rover which ended in the Maserati running into a cab and killing the driver and the passengers plus the driver of the Maserati This tragedy shut down the strip so when we arrived we ended up getting dropped off at a corner and luging our luggage down the strip ourselves A small inconvenience given the tragedy So this perspective also reminded me that I will not sweat the small stuff We had a mountain view and it was a little noisy due to traffic noise from the freeway But my overarching feeling is that the Bellagio was a great place to stay
