Las Vegas/Bellagio
I lifted this from one of the Las Veags boards which I found rather amusing! I also think this moron from "Joisy" is the one seriously lacking class -- big time!! Read on:
Bellagio
Date Visited: 04/01 - Bad Visit
I can't even begin to describe what a wretchedly disappointing joint Bellagio was. After a last minute decision to "upgrade," my husband and I switched our hotel from Paris to the Bellagio. We had stayed at The Paris in December and absolutely loved the hotel/casino, the kitch and the service. But, since we are on this "let's try to stay at a different place every time" kick, we moved across the street to a lakeview room at the Bellagio. WHAT A SCAM!!!!!!! First, the rooms are no better than they are at Paris (maybe a tad larger), but save a cheesy robe, you get the same bulls*** amenities (marble bathroom, safe, a bed, a pot to you-know-what in --ya know-- the typical stuff). Secondly, we paid an extra $50 a night to look at those ridiculous fountains -- THAT WEREN'T WORKING!!!!!!! Hey, don't feed me that "it was windy" crap -- because the first night we were there, the camera crew for the remake of Oceans 11 were turning the fountains on and off for shooting purposes. So, the damn fountains never fully "performed." So, why the hell did i pay an extra $50 a night????? Why was I NOT offered that $50 a night back?? HMMMMM???? The next complaint i have falls in the clientele category. Boy -- what a motley crew of idiocy!!! From my observances, you have these midwest folk who have never seen or even TASTED a bit of CULTURE in their lives. They're walking around with their mouths gaped half open looking at the "beautiful art." COME ON NOW!!!! You needed a cattle prod to get them through the hotel, past the stores and out the door. (which took FOREVER TO DO) What, you've never seen a Prada store before??? You can't afford it anyway, so quit staring and keep walking!!!!!!!! The second group of morons in the joint were the pseudo-yuppie yokels walking around with their awful dyed hair, their BATHING SUITS, and their ugly snot nosed kids!! Excuse me, please do not walk around a vegas casino in your bathing suit. Frank Sinatra would roll over in his grave if he saw the antics that people get away with nowadays! Next complaint : the service. Ummmm -- I'm still waiting for the maid to give me some clean towels....... Next: the tables: a $25 minimum bet to get rated? give me a break..... Next: the food -- guess what kids, the bellagio's $15 omelets are no better than Paris' $8. The Spa: if you want to go to a really indulging spa -- go to Mandalay Bay (trust me on this one). My last and final complaint: why the hell are people shoving and poking each other up the rear to get to see some flowers in a garden? Come on people -- you've never seen a flower before???? Oh yes, and Steve, if you’re listening, I know you don’t own the place anymore, but when you rebuild the desert inn, PLEASE don’t make me walk 40 miles to and from my room to the door. I PROMISE YOU-- I WILL GAMBLE – but the more I get stuck walking behind the slack jawed yokels, the move I just want to go home. Thanks!

GROW UP!!!
If the Paris Hotel is so wonderful, than why would you think of staying somewhere else? Duuu.....
There is no comparison, Bellagio vs. Paris. Two completley differant hotels and customer bases. Sounds like someone has a real chip on their shoulder. I suggest you stay home next time.

Someone from Jersey with a chip on their shoulder??
Demanding and unrealistically so??
Is that an unlikely occurrence or what??
Wow. I'm taking that guy's advice straight to the bank. I'll NEVER visit that crummy ol' Bellagio again.
Heck, if Paris is better then I might as well go straight for Barbary Coast.

I totally agree with you. Living in Vegas I see it all the time. People stay there in hopes of getting something special. The fountains are great and the flowers are beautiful, but do yourself a favor don't waste the money and stay there....Just Visit

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have lifted another wonderful response (agreeing with "Joisy") from "lvol.com" which I think you will, once again, find very amusing! This guy actually included an e-mail address, assuming it's legite! Read on:

FINALLY someone had the guts to not only go after the prime ribbers (local Philly slang for those Midwest/Southern folks off for a suntan-stocking-with open-toe-sandal throw down in Vegas) but the scamola that is Bellagio. The rooms are average, the art is barely worth a throw and only if you have never been to a real museum, the flowers are flowers, the layout sucks, the tables are dull and the machines are tight. Does this sound like a place that is suppposed to be the epicenter of Las Vegas opulence? Please. Think it over. Bellagio - Four Seasons? Bellagio -Four Seasons? You pick. Oh Wait - you don't have one to compare to in Detriot or Omaha or wherever. The lady from NJ has it right (and those who responded to the taunts took every morsel of the bait presented with stunning predictability). She should have been given her money back for a feature (the fountain) that was not working or was not presented as sold. You would ask for your money back for a prime rib at the Excalibur if the serving wench brought you a rib eye instead. Wouldn't you? Sure you would. You love that prime rib. Give me a break - Las Vegas has one intention and one intention only - to part you from your dollars. There are better places to do it for less money without dropping a level in service or accomodations. Bellagio is just a bigger mousetrap. Paris, Mirage, Mandalay Bay all have pretty much the same stuff. Just think, with all that money saved your kids can suffer a little bit longer in the wings while you crash at the nickel slots, sip an oversized drink in a plastic novelty glass, wear flip flops to a show, really believe that Studio 54 or the Hard Rock Hotel are cool and generally marvel at concrete replicas of stuff you should see for real, etc. all while in the way of others. Oh - to the lady who claims she can afford Prada - I didn't know that they made fannypacks.
