One word - Disappointing. I decided to take my husband here for his birthday and because they were also participating in restaurant week. Also, they have great happy hour specials on Thursdays. Perfect. First, I had requested on my reservation to seat us in a great seat with a view since it was a special occasion. They sat us in the back of the restaurant. Next, I ask for the happy hour menu and our waiter says happy hour is only in the lounge. So we couldn't get any drink specials which was annoying. Then we were brought out some crusty old stale rolls that were cold and hard and I immediately sent them back and requested fresh ones. I ordered from the restaurant week menu and my meal was great. It is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. My first course, the shrimp was a little overdone but had good flavor. 2nd course, my steak was cooked well. 3rd course, cake topped with mango and the basil ice cream was delicious. My meal was not the problem. My husband ordered a veal porterhouse which came out looking like a big pork chop. Upon inquiring to the waiter, he told us veal turns white when cooked...what?! That is just flat out not true. I think our waiter was new on the floor because he was not knowledgeable about the menu (or steak in general) and just was b.s.ing his way through all night. I didn't like any of the steak sauces. Too bitter or too sweet. To top off the evening, our waiter took FOREVER to bring us the check. I'm usually not a nitpicky person but when I'm spending $120+ on dinner, it better be well executed, delicious, with great service. There are plenty of other spots in the valley to get a GREAT meal at that price point. Will not be returning.

It doesn't matter if you're a tourist or a long-time local, the fountains at Bellagio are a must see. The show happens every half hour starting at 3pm and and goes well into the evening. Each half hour has a different song usually something classy (Sinatra), dramatic (Bocelli), romantic (Dion) or fun (Pink Panther). Each song has it's own special water choreography making use of the entire faux lake in front of Bellagio. Even though the show starts in the afternoon, you must come back at night. The lit up water with the backdrop of the strip might be the most beautiful thing you see in Vegas. For five minutes your mind can take a break from the artificial city and take in this awesome free work of art. And since Bellagio attracts an international crowd, it's really cool to see people of all walks of life come together to appreciate it. I guess the only thing I would change is maybe try something with more modern tunes. Still, the fountains are more than deserving of five stars.

It's peanut butter jelly time! Put it in m'mouth, put it in m'mouth. And weird Lebanese spice time. And haggis flavored tofu time. And choco-covered banana time. And dried fruits and nut time. And rose flavored jelly time. And chick pea curry cous cous time. And canned fried eggplant time. And baggies full of snacks time. And fancy olive oil time. And lots of veggie friendly time. And 200 types of tea time. And pink colored sea salt time. And cheese-ish cheese time. And man behind the counter time. Who gives you free tasting time. Who might just talk your ear off time. But lets you try the seeds time. As a begrudging vegetarian, I am always in a huffed search for alternative stuff I can eat in this city o' potatoes and cheese (note: i f*cking love potatoes and cheese). And man oh man does this place deliver. It has all sorts of Arabic delights, 6 billion flavors of hummus, teas flavored with anything you could imagine - yes - banana crack-cocaine tea, and veggie snacks and treats as far as the eye can see! They also have SKIPPY in a MONSTER sized jar. I won't lie... I come here for the Skippy and leave with the tofu and healthy snacks. It's like a TREASURE CHEST of whole foods in this place.

Prime Rib was way overcooked, server was especially rude and management was not much nicer. Never going back to eat there.
