Bellagio is a hotel and casino centrally located on the Las Vegas strip that is known for a variety of activities and sites. For most, it may be known as the home of the Cirque du Soleil aquatic show, or the musically synchronized fountains. But this Italian themed hotel and casino has so much more to offer.

While visiting the Bellagio, you will encounter a variety of décor and general atmospheres due to these various unique attractions. As soon as you enter the front doors, you immediately see the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, whose theme changes five times a year, involving thousands of employees and even more flowers.  When you walk through, you feel as if you are as small as a bug entering a vast and articulate garden. You forget you are in the middle of a casino on the Las Vegas strip.

Once you are done enjoying a bug’s life, you are able to head over to see the world’s largest and tallest chocolate fountain. The fountain is twenty-seven feet tall, and consists of three different types of chocolate.  Watching this beauty puts you into the perfect mood to enjoy some chocolate at the Jean-Philippe Patisserie. This bakery makes a wide variety of the finest chocolate pastries, as well as gelato and other sweets.

Since you are already treating yourself to some sweets, why not step on over to the Bellagio Salon? The Salon & Spa includes all sorts of pampering options, including make up, hair styling, manicures and pedicures, massages, waxing and specialty packages. The salon allows for a great way to relax and feel rejuvenated, whether you are in Vegas for work or fun.  The employees are wonderful professionals and are there to assist you in every way possible, including getting drinks for you.

There are amazing restaurants to enjoy as well, including Olives. Olives is the perfect location to enjoy amazing food, like their flat breads, while looking out onto the Bellagio fountains. The fountains go off every half hour, providing a great show throughout any meal. Olives’ low lighting and fine dining creates a romantic environment where you can forget the place is a busy tourist attraction.

Although there are all these other options at the Bellagio, you can’t forget about the real reason for the hotel and casino: gambling. There are many different games to choose from. It is also a great environment for gambling: gorgeous décor with rich colors, elegant flair and perfect service.

If you prefer to spend your money in other ways, there is an array of shops to enjoy as well.

Overall, plenty of time should be set-aside on your next vacation for the Bellagio. Other attractions include a huge, gorgeous pool for the tourists and business services for others in Vegas for work. There is so much to see and do for all ages.
