text: I must say as much as Vegas changes and new hotels continue to pop up I still have to hand it to the Bellagio as one of my favorites Sure Steve Wynn went on to bigger and arguably better things at the Wynn and Encore But when it comes to classic styling the Bellagio takes the crownnnThere are several reasons why the Bellagio still tops my list One huge reason is the awesome fountain display out front It is easily the best free entertainment we have on the strip Whenever I have friends visit from out of town I always recommend they catch a show or two My favorite hands down is Con Te Partiro Time to Say Goodbye but anything from Frank Sinatra satiates my appetite for dancing water Heck I will even take some CelinennI have also stayed in one of their suites This was years ago right after Oceans came out Some friends were intent on experiencing the Vegas depicted in the film and pretty much showed up to the front desk and paid for the room It is one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in I have seen the suites at the Venetian and Palazzo and they are very nice too but there is just something about the BellagionnDont forget the always changing Conservatory and it is seasonal botanical garden display They do not seem to change it out as often as they used to but it is always worth checking outnnOf course you also have the handblown glass flowers that adorn the ceiling of the foyer I did not fully appreciate them when I first saw them but they have grown on me Just the amount of work that went into all that art it is truly amazing In fact that was the reason I went there today and consequently that is pretty much the reason why I am writing this review I snapped a pic for my daily photo blog and I needed an excuse to share it here on YelpnnSure other strip hotels have outdone the Bellagio Sure it is no longer the place to be on the strip But class never goes out of style And the Bellagio has plenty of it
