Special Dinner Reservations at Bellagio Restaurant
Not sure between Picasso, Circo, or Olives -
Which has the best combination of Price, Food and View???
(With the exception of Picasso) The reviews in the restaurant section seem to be all over the place. Would like to here your experiences.
Thanks

Circo over Olives 
Olives can be a madhouse, noisy and service can get bogged down. It is good but not for something 'special'..we go to Circo every time we are in LV, which makes it about twice a year, we have never had a bad experience and the food is excellent and the service is great.
The view is best there too.
Olives is great for lunch, you can sit out on the terrace and be right in the fountains practically..
Cannot say about Picasso-but Prime is also very elegant, quiet, beautiful room with a view and service is perfect!
Now, that just complicated things, no?

Circo is just about the BEST restaurant we have eaten in the whole world!
The ambience is gorgeous- like an elegant circus...the service is sublime..and the FOOD--oh god- the food is to die for!!
The price is expensive but well worth it!! We are going back there in Oct!!

Olives, as Scarlett noted, is more casual than the others and has a busy ambience. It's great for lunch, especially if it's comfortable weather for sitting outside along the "lake".
Food quality is good, overall, not spectacular, but it's a very nice overall experience.
Picasso is very refined, very quiet, very dark compared to the others. I didn't really care for the feeling that I was "downstairs" from the main hotel--wish they'd have put Picasso up on the main level. We sat next to the windows looking onto the lake. Very nice for a formal type occasion. If memory serves me correctly, it looked to me like Picasso may have been where George Clooney and Julia Roberts met up in "Ocean's Eleven" (anyone recall for sure?).
The food isn't really my style. Too much effort to be chi-chi. But it is a very special place.
I think Circo strikes a very nice balance of being light and cheery, with a nice menu, solid food quality, decent service, good views in the front of the restaurant. I've eaten at both the Circo in NYC and in Las Vegas and much prefer the LV one.
Depends on what kind of mood you're in Danimal. Each of these three offers a very different atmosphere. But they're all three very good choices for certain situations.
