Bellagio Hotel Review

Opened in 1998, this luxury hotel is patterned after a Roman extravaganza and sited on the shores of a 10-acre man-made lake. It houses 20 restaurants and cafes, a 65,000 square foot spa and salon and a dozen other attractions. Don’t miss (and it’s pretty hard to) the famed Bellagio Fountains: Breathtaking Union of Water, Music and Light which are located just outside and, as you can see below, will capture your imagination for hours - if you let them.

A thousand choreographed sprays blossom into the air in a water ballet that has to be seen and heard to be appreciated. The jets are timed to classical music and Las Vegas visitors will often stand in front of them day or night for an hour and watch the show. The lobby alone is worth a visit. The ceiling displays 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers each hand-crafted to perfection. The Fiori di Como are multi-colored works of art that form only one astounding part of this city within a city.

Unlike some of the hotels, the Bellagio is restricted to those over 18 unless they are guests of the hotel. One reason is the centrality of the large casino within the property. Visitors will pass through it on their way to almost any of the other attractions. Under these orange canopies you can find just about anything in the way of gambling, from $1 slot machines all the way up to $5,000 per hand poker tables. Not inexpensive by Las Vegas standards, the Bellagio rooms can easily cost $250 a night, though discounts are a possibility during off-days or weeks. But you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

Whether it’s the luxurious Italian provincial-decorated rooms, or the high-end spa, you’ll find elegance and pampering are routine here. The spa architecture has an unusual feature to enhance the visitor’s experience: walls made of water. The music and general ambiance will melt your stress away. Even with over 3,400 rooms they offer a high staff-to-guest ratio and your every whim will be catered to quickly. Come visit the Bellagio and find out for yourself. Bellagio is located on the Las Vegas Strip as you can see on the map below. Bellagio, Las Vegas

5 Free Things to do while Visiting San Francisco

Anyone who knows me well knows that I like cheap and free things to do with the family. It isn’t that I’m not willing to pay good money for good fun, I just happen to believe that the best fun is sometimes as free as the wind. The same holds true when visiting new cities like San Francisco. I will invest a great amount of time looking for activities that me and other members of my family can enjoy for little or no money. This saves money for other things like good food and souvenirs.

I’m also a big fan of David Letterman and in that spirit I decided to devise a top five list of my very own in honor of Mr. Letterman’s Top 10 list. My big 5 list consists of things to do for free when visiting San Francisco.
