The focal point is the 8.5-acre Lake Bellagio, which comes alive nightly for extravagant water fountain shows choreographed to opera. Bellagio's finest restaurants overlook the lake and are the perfect spots to watch the watery explosions. If gawking at the art alone isn't enough, request a table with a view of the fountains. This art-deco supper club, finished in dark woods, silvery blue curtains, and plush chairs, takes the traditional steakhouse to the next level. Request a table in the side room for privacy and uninterrupted views of the water show.
Several tables overlook the lush pool area, but avoid being seated in the charmless back room.
Although the restaurant is located on the waterside of the hotel, murals depicting circus acts block the windows. Jacket and tie are required. Its restaurants are flashier and feature exotic flavors that offer diners a break from the monotony of French food that dominates the Strip. New York's top chef Charlie Palmer showcases his New American cuisine at this dramatic, minimalist dining room that crackles with water, glass, and Mondrian-like design elements. For a romantic finale, retire to the Swan's Court, an outdoor patio, for a glass of brandy.
