Bellagio
 
Hi, Which floor should I suggest when making room res.....Which floors have the best view ( lakeview)

ryan Apr 30th, 2002 10:40 AM

If you are in the high teens or 20's that should give a nice view of the fountain shows. <BR><BR>BTW, the best location to watch a show is the small outdoor seating area next to the Prime Steakhouse.

Try to get something in the center of the hotel between the 10th and 15th floor.

They aren't going to honor a request for a specific floor unless you 1) ask at the time of check-in AND 2) they're not even close to being sold out.<BR>Best views of the strip are the highest ones. Best fountain views are below 15th floor (from high above they lose some of their appeal because you can't appreciate their height).

We were on the 27th floor -lake view and it was a pretty damn good view.Of the lake and the Eiffel Tower and the strip.I think the higher the better, ask for anything in the 20's,there are 28 floors.

Bellagio has 36 floors.<BR>The fountains don't reach anywhere near the upper floors, so when you look DOWN on the fountains they're not as impressive as when you look across or up at them.<BR>I've had rooms from 31st floor down to 9th floor.<BR>The strip view and vistas are definitely better from the top floors though.

What the hell are all you people doing standing in your hotel rooms looking at views instead of being out in Las Vegas enjoying the place? I'd much rather watch the fountains from the bar downstairs and lakeside at Bellagio, than standing at my hotel window looking out!

If you go to Las Vegas regularly there's no sense of urgency to be running around and doing things every minute you're there.<BR>The strip views, especially at dusk, from the upper floors of Bellagio or the Four Seasons are some of the most spectacular hotel views in the world.<BR>Furthermore, the suites at those hotels are so nice and inviting it's actually nice to spend some time in the room, regardless of all the other things available outside the door.<BR>I don't have a TV at home that rises out of the floor at the push of a button, or a huge steam shower, or room service which serves very good quality food. Nice to enjoy it when I'm in LV though.

well said, Jack.

When I stayed on the 27th floor,how come the elevator went up to only the 28th?<BR>The guest room floors start at 4th.

Scarlett May 1st, 2002 04:55 AM

Hi,<BR>We were at the Bellagio in March and stayed on a high floor.The Eiffel Tower was just outside our room also.<BR>What an amazing view! The fountains were just as pretty from above,at night,as in the day.<BR>I thought that the next time we go there,the rooms by the pool that have their own cabanas would be nice.Has anyone stayed there?<BR>

todd May 1st, 2002 10:12 AM

I would like to know also.thanx.todd

Vic May 1st, 2002 12:10 PM

Bellagio secrets:<BR>If you book a suite, you enter via a different set of elevators which bypasses all the lower floors. (Thus less waiting around).<BR>The suite floors start at 29 and go through 36.<BR><BR>I shouldn't give this one away but, there is an entirely different set of elevators to the suite floors which has its own side entrance and lounge waiting area. There is virtually never anyone there so the trip up to your room is extremely efficient.<BR>Bellagio was a really well planned hotel. They missed very little.<BR><BR>Lots of small things most people don't notice, but Bellagio seems even more impressive when you look beneath the surface, beyond the obvious.

You missed my point, Jack. There's nothing wrong with spending time in your luxury room, enjoying and using the facilities. But I'm trying to figure out why somebody stands at their window for hours looking out, or pulls up a chair just to watch the view. Is that really a form of entertainment for some people?

Steve May 2nd, 2002 12:11 AM

So, "xxx," you really don't understand the VALUE of a fantastic view in any hotel?!? (and not necessarily for HOURS on end as you stated)! Surely you jest! I suppose a person like YOU should just skip the Pacific Coast Highway in California or the Amalfi Coast in Italy. After all, I'm sure the beautiful vistas would only BORE you to death, no doubt!!

tom May 2nd, 2002 04:34 AM

XXX - I think everyone missed your point - me included. Who said they were spending hours standing in front of their windows?

Roe May 2nd, 2002 06:21 PM

Some of these posts are sooooo funny, thanks for the chuckle!!!
