Bellagio, Caesars or Venetian

Gosh, what a good problem to have - trying to choose between these three in Vegas for a girl's weekend. We can get a great rate at any one of these the weekend we've chosen to go, so I'm asking you discriminating travelers to give me your opinion as to which one is the nicest (what you would recommend) and why.

We won't be gambling much, so want really nice rooms and a great pool.

Thanks for any help!

What's

Just get a fountain view room at the Bellagio and forget the rest. The other two are fine, but the Bellagio is one of the best resort hotels in the country and surely the best on the strip.

Ditto Scarlett. If price is not an issue, Bellagio.

You can't go wrong with any of these hotels. For a girls weekend I prefer the Venetian. I like the shops and restaurants better plus Canyon Ranch Spa. More to do than the Bellagio. Have fun!

Seems to be the perennial question here! Try a room in the new Venezia Towers at the Venetian, on the concierge level! Nice beds w/ duvets, unbelievable bathrooms, turn-down service, a beautiful lounge that serves very good afternoon cocktails! Plus, the Venetian rooms are bigger than the standard Bellagio rooms, which helps when 4 are in a room! Have fun!

The Bellagio is great! The pools are lovely. We had a suite with a pool view from one of the upper floors and it would be hard to beat.

The casino is great and the atrium is not to miss.

I have stayed at all 3. While I love the pool at Bellagio, the resteraunts, shops etc are a bit too foo foo for my taste. The rooms are nice but boxy and small.
I think Caesar's is the funnest of the 3 but...
I would go to Venetian! Gorgeous rooms, good food, great pool too, great spa, good shops and easier access to the strip to walk around. I highly recommend a meal at Valentinos.

I'm not sure how one would conclude that Bellagio's standard rooms are "boxy and small".
The average hotel room in the US is about 275 square feet, Bellagio's smallest are 510 sq.ft. (Mandalay Bay 500, Four Seasons 500).

With multiple people in a room on a weekend in which rates are fair, I'd strongly suggest a suite at Bellagio. And even if you can't get a Bellagio Suite or Penthouse Suite, check into a Salone Suite (not much higher price, but extra space). The suites are so much nicer, and bathrooms even better.

The Venezia rooms at Venetian are the same size as the regular rooms, same bathrooms.
Venetian's pools are the least impressive of the three places you listed.
Caesar's pools are the most 'over the top', Bellagio's the classiest, Venetian's just a pool deck with some shrubbery.
Venetian does have a mainstream mall attached if you want a cheap deli sandwich, Krispy Kreme doughnut, slice of pizza.
Caesar's has the best variety of shopping on site.
Bellagio's shops are upscale only and not varied.
Restaurant lineup at Bellagio is the best in the city by far.
