Please help me decide. We will be leaving for Vegas in a few months. The past three years have been spent at Caesars Palace mainly because I so enjoy the pool area. I 've never had a problem finding a quiet spot in which to relax. Although we stay in the Palace Tower section the service IMO could be better. So now I'm thinking of the Bellagio. We are a childless couple so I really want to lounge around a beautiful pool setting that lacks the squeal of child's play. I've also been trying to find pictures of the pool area for the Bellagio but haven't been able to find any decent shots. Has anyone out there stayed at both places and can give me a comparison ? I think after 3 years I'm just ready to stay somewhere different but very nice. Oh, and how is the fitness center at Bellagio for that's all my boyfriend cares about. Thanks for any help that you can provide.

The pool area is excellent, beautiful and quiet. You will NEVER go back to the one at Caesars after using it!!

The spa at Bellagio is great. The fitness center, while it has all the latest and greatest equipment, is rather small and tight. But it suited my purposes just fine.

Bellagio pool is quiet and captures the "European" feel. Lots of plants and it has several pools in the grouping with few kids. Children are allowed if they are hotel guests but we have not seen many. cheapovegas.com has a great commentary on all the hotel pools...very funny but right on the money in description.

Looking for pics of the pools?

Bellagio is great, and there are very few children there compared to other spots. I have stayed at both Caesars and Bellagio and greatly prefer Bellagio.

If you're really into the pool area, rent a cabana for the day -- they're fantastic. I think we paid about a hundred bucks, but it kept us out of trouble and was very relaxing.

I've stayed at Bellagio many times since it opened and just returned yesterday after a week in LV...sunny every day and beautiful at the pool. Bellagio's pool set up is the best in LV by a longshot for my tastes. Very private feeling compared to the more open layouts at Mirage, Caesar's and less harried than Mandalay Bay's (which has more of a 'wow' factor, but is too crowded and annoying for me).
I will say that even though it was only mid-March, Bellagio's pools were pretty crowded...but quiet. Not a kid to be found.
The fitness center is $25 a day and good but small.
Bellagio's room service is excellent and the meals I had (3 or 4) were all very well prepared with large portions, always served within 30 minutes.
Service has improved since its first year of operation.

My thanks to all of you for your responses. I really enjoyed the cheapovegas.com website. Bellagio, here we come! V.
