This is a hard place to land good deals, although it never hurts to check the hotel's Web site for specials: rates average $250 to $300 much of the year, but during slower weeks you can usually snag a room for around $170 to $180 (competitive in comparison with other high-end Strip properties). If it's pampering you're after, stay in the Spa Tower, which has impressive rooms and suites as well as an expanded full-service spa and salon -- suites have steam showers and soaking tubs. Rooms in the original hotel tower are super snazzy, with luxurious fabrics and Italian marble. Elegant Italian provincial furniture surrounds either a single king-size bed or two queen-size beds. Bellagio has one of the higher staff-to-guest ratios in town, which results in visibly more solicitous service than you might expect at such an enormous property. Because this is an adult-oriented resort, few of its amenities are geared toward kids.
The Casino. The casino proper is roomy, luxurious, and filled with a big-money international elite surrounded by gawking tourists. Under its hushed orange canopies you can easily spot a high roller betting $5,000 a hand as if it were pennies. But don't worry; there are games throughout the floor for the more average budget. Low-denomination slots are tucked in the back corners for low rollers (if you can find them) and excellent blackjack games are offered for mid- to high-level players.
The casino's epicenter remains its now-famous poker room, which rose to national notoriety as a key element of the TV poker fad. The race and sports book are super high-tech; each seductive leather seat is equipped with its own TV monitor. Things are a bit crowded with gawkers in the conservatory on the south end.

Rooms were a great size with a nice big bathtub. You can get a refrigerator from the front desk. Pool is very nice and plenty of chairs and umbrellas. Spa is great. $40/day but has great jacuzzi and cold plunge pool and good fitness classes. It's true that there is construction all around Las Vegas but our roomed faced the Palm and we heard no noise

Mobbed with tourists, cheeseballs, new money and cronies. Entrances are miles from hotel elevators and expect lot's of foot traffic blocking your way, and knocking over your luggage. Beds are comfortable, rooms are less than accomodating (no internet unless you "buy" a ethernet cable), and room service is fair. For the price, I was seriously unimpressed.
