If I don't have a fridge in the room I usually just use the ice bucket, which works for a small bottle.

"<i>Also, if I'm not told that i can't remove items from the fridge to make room for my milk then surely i can??!!</i>"

There would be a notice on or inside inside the fridge. Often just a card sitting on top of it. The card will list the prices and, if applicable, will explain that moving items will result in charges on your bill.

The Bellagio is really amazing. I stayed there and the hotel is just beautiful, I loved looking outside my window at the fountains when they would go off. The pool was amazing as well with beautiful gardens, and many great restaurants and foods to try on the inside.

I just stayed at the Aria and the guy did say that if you move their stuff out of the fridge and store your stuff they will charge you.

Ahhh a sensor.

I think that there is a need to put anything in their fridge anyways. Once I wake up and go out I usually don't get back to the hotel until later in the evening...everything is so far away...believe me you don't want to go back to the hotel once you start wondering around.

I know that making your own tea is best! I love making my own tea!

But now I learned to drink coffee if I can't make it myself. They can't make good tea anywhere! The water is never hot enuf to make a good brew.

Just enjoy your brew of any sort at the restaurants. Forget about making tea on vacation. It will be hot, maybe you will convert and drink ice coffee! :D Just a thought.

Often they don;t tell you and moving the contents of the fridge at all will result in charges - which they will eventually remove - but is a PIA.

If you really want this I would contact the hotel in advance and say you need a fridge you can use for your own things and won;t have room for their drinks and snacks. They may remove theirs or may just give you another - but may well charge for it. (They really want you to go downstairs for their breakfast.)

The Bellagio should provide a fridge upon request. I haven't stayed there in a while, so it would be best to confirm with them.

I would suggest you stay at the Bellagio, unless you're willing to spend up for a wraparound terrace suite at the Cosmo. Otherwise, I'd go for the Bellagio. It's right next door to the Cosmo, so you are only minutes away from enjoying the restaurants and public areas of that hotel. If you can, splurge on a fountain view room at the Bellagio.

At this point, I think Bellagio/Cosmo/Aria are where the action is on the strip. Caesars tends to be a bit further away from the places and restaurants I want to visit. Of course, if you have plans that center around Caesars, then that would be a better choice.

Regardless of where you stay, check out the Bellagio -- especially the conservatory garden (or whatever it is called)-- totally amazing.

Bellagio really is a great hotel but have you thought about The Wynn, fabulous upscale hotel (well it was last time i was there) and good location too.

I haven't stayed in a Vegas in a number of years, but in all the trips I've taken around the country (granted in mid-level business hotels like the Marriott, Hyatt or large boutiques like Kimpton hotels) I've never been in a room that had a coffee maker that didn't also have one or two bagged tea bags. They just assumed you'd use the coffee maker to make hot water.

I'd definitely suggest you bring your own tea, but wait to go out and buy a tea kettle until you can investigate if there's a coffee maker in the room.

Consider the Wynn/Encore. Terrific pools, great clubs, very few crazy 20 year olds. Most guests are in 30's and 40's, After having stayed at nearly all of the other hotels in Vegas including Bellagio and Caesar's we will never stay anywhere but Wynn again.

I read on the forum a few days ago that the Wynn is noisey from their club, and it doesn't matter what floor you are on because noise rises. I should know I live on a high rise in a busy city!

We are staying at the Bellagio right now. There is no coffee/tea maker in the room. We came from the Aria, another very nice hotel, and it had no coffee maker in the room either. In the many times I have come to Las Vegas, I can't remember any of the nicer hotels (Venetian, Bally's, Hilton, etc.) having them.

From our last room at the Aria I noticed that both the Vdara and Cosmopolitan had very nice pool areas with umbrellas. Bellagio goes them one better with little "cabanas".

We thought our room at the Aria (in City Center, as is the Cosmopolitan) was the loveliest we have been in, and the food in the restaurants is excellent (Julian Serrano for tapas is our favorite). Service was the best we've had anywhere. However, the distances between things is quite a walk. The casino is huge, the parking lot is huge, and the hotel is huge. Certainly the longest hallways I've ever experienced, and they break into several wings.

The Bellagio is more central to the action on the strip. The rooms are large, if a tad dated (television, for example, is the old type, rather than the huge wall mounted flat screen we had at the Aria). Food is excellent, and the place is quite lively.

Enjoy your trip to Las Vegas!

We went to Vegas for the first time this May for a wedding at the Bellagio. It was terrific, we thought it might have been bad taste but we were wrong and enjoyed every moment of Vegas. The hotel is very well located and is so big we had to have a map to navigate it. I think this is a great hotel for a first time visit, although no matter where you stay, you'll find you spend time going from one hotel to another. Chandelier bar in the Cosmopolitan is fun & is impressive. Wynn/Encore are amazing though, not in such a fab location but really it's not far to walk down the strip and is half the fun. They do a great buffet breakfast and brunch on Sundays & with a proper cuppa if you want it(think Teapigs). We also had a car which was great as we could see what is was like off strip and see Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam etc and the parking was included in the resort fee (although we didnt stay at the Bellagio).

Didn't hear any noise re the club when we stayed at the Wynn!

Definitely recommend the Bellagio.

We stayed at the Cosmopolitan last spring and hated it. Really hideous decor IMHO.

Whereas the Bellagio had a very nice Monet exhibit. Much classier.

But then, we don't care for LV in general.

Hi, I would recommend Bellagio. They have a nice and romantic atmosphere. If you're interested, here's some more detailed info http://www.nitexcite.com/destination...-in-las-vegas/ Hope this helps!

I racked up a $72.00 bill at the Nikko in San Fransisco a few years ago by moving items in the mini fridge to store some wine!!!! Ouch...
PS....had to pay and recommend the Bellagio for glitz and location.

You can request to have the mini fridge contents removed. Very easy to do.

You will not find a coffee maker at the Cosmo.

The Bellagio is dated.

Hail Caesar! I've been staying there since I was a teen. My sister took me with her to see Tom Jones. We had a family group of inlaws and outlaws, parents, and aunts & uncles. I was entertained at the pool with my cousins while the adults did Vegas. It was a three car caravan from Orange County. The road trip was a lot of fun. The cousins all ran to a different car when we stopped for gas.

Caesars has only improved over the years. It's a true Fantasyland. You won't find coffee or tea making facilities in the hotel rooms as one is expected to order room service.
Purchase a kettle and the accoutrements at Walgreens. It is a good store for souvenirs, bottled water, and snacks for your room. Expect to pay 15 to 20 USD for a kettle. Twinings is readily available. Most hotel rooms have double vanities. Place your goods in a spare sink, cover with ice then a damp towel and it should be good for 10-12 hours. You may have to order ice from room service but the fee will be worth it. Order lots of ice!

Caesars has lovely dining and just opened a new buffet. Go to the buffet for lunch and save a bit from the dinner price for essentially the same food.

Enjoy afternoon tea at the Bellagio. The tea service is divine with a lovely assortment of sweets and savouries. Stroll the Botanical Garden in the Conservatory before tea for a charming afternoon respite from the Las Vegas heat and zany excitement of The Strip.

Do not touch the minibar! All contents are on sensors with a direct charge to your hotel bill. It is not a fridge. You may ask housekeeping to empty the minibar when you arrive in your room. If they will do it you can avoid the ice-in-the-sink routine.

Bring sturdy walking shoes as the distances between hotels is deceiving. One may think they are close but remember, this is a desert and it is full of mirages. City buses, monorails, and taxi's are always available. Walking the strip is a right of passage but be prepared to return to your hotel in a taxi or by bus.

Enjoy Vegas! It's like no other place on Earth.
