text: Bellagio is quite the fancy hotel and is most known for its fountain that puts on a spectacular water show at regular intervals throughout the day. Most of my trips to Vegas are for my birthday which falls during the month of December and during that time, the hotel has set up their holiday decor including a really fun display that features trees, flowers, water effects, and animatronic animal.\n\nThe overall feel of the hotel is very elegant with artwork displayed everywhere and architecture that is grand in scale and beautifully crafted. The lobby area features a blown glass chandelier that was created by Washington's own Dale Chihuly.\n\nThe Bellagio shops feature a wide area of fancy stores where piles of money can be spent if that's your thing, or you can just sit back and people watch all day both here and on the casino floor. Speaking of dropping lots of cash and casino floors, the Bellagio combines both of these options in to one handy gaming area as well as a very large sports betting area.\n\nMy favorite feature about this hotel is the buffet restaurant that has a ton of great food at a price that's not too bad considering everything that you get.
