Bellagio is about things that are good for the soul – fine dining, gardens, flowers, art and fashion. The goal, from the outset, was to create a hotel that would exemplify absolute quality.

In order to become synonymous with beauty and elegance, Bellagio addressed its guests' higher sensibilities. Bellagio had to be distinctive enough to surpass the expectations of discerning individuals not easily fooled by advertising or hype. In a cynical world, creating a place of special elegance, quality and distinction is a difficult feat.

There are few places in the world so exceptional they don't require superlatives. Such places are best described with the simplest of words. Bellagio is such a place.

Guest Rooms and Suites
Bellagio’s rooms and suites feature sweeping vistas of the resort's lake, surrounding mountains and Las Vegas skyline. From the moment guests enter their accommodations, they feel wrapped in comfort and luxury.

Each room is elegantly appointed with custom contemporary-style furnishings, fine art and conveniences such as high-speed Internet access, multiple telephone lines and a convenient mini bar. Special attention also was paid to the guestroom bath, as bathroom amenities truly enhance a vacation. Italian marble floors and surfaces along with plush robes and soaking tubs were incorporated into the design.

The first Las Vegas casino hotel in AAA history to earn Five Diamond status, Bellagio again raised the bar for excellence with a recent $60 million suite redesign. Located in the Bellagio Tower, the dramatic new look of seven suite types – Salone, Bellagio, Cypress, Tower, Penthouse, Lakeview and Grand Lakeview – combines high styling with high-tech amenities.

Pairing modern conveniences with the warmth of home, Bellagio’s stunning suite redesign exemplifies the beauty, elegance and luxury for which the resort is known.

The Restaurants of Bellagio
In order to fulfill its goals, Bellagio’s restaurants had to run the gamut from gourmet Five Diamond dining to easy informal meals. Several of the finest restaurateurs were invited to bring their chefs and managers along with their invaluable expertise to be a part of Bellagio.

Bellagio features two AAA Five Diamond restaurants (Picasso and Le Cirque), two Michelin one star restaurants (Le Cirque and MICHAEL MINA Bellagio), and a Michelin two star and James Beard award-winning restaurant (Picasso). Not to be forgotten are FIX and Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge.

Bellagio also is home to four James Beard award-winning chefs – Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Todd English, Michael Mina and Nevada’s first James Beard award recipient, Julian Serrano. Never before has such an exceptional collection of chefs and restaurants been assembled under one roof.

With the approval of his family, one of Bellagio’s premier restaurants was named for the greatest painter of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso. It had to be a completely unique experience, reflective of his preeminence.

Taking its inspiration from the villages of the Mediterranean, Picasso is a rough-hewn restaurant with a beam and brick ceiling and gesso-covered burlap walls. Some of the great master’s colorful and delightful paintings, as well as his ceramics, tiles and sculptures are incorporated into the restaurant’s décor.

Claude Picasso, the son of Pablo, designed the carpet and the furniture for the restaurant. This environment is the perfect setting to enhance the experience of renowned chef Julian Serrano’s magnificent Mediterranean food.

The Casino
Custom-draped canopies and coffered ceilings add dramatic touches to Bellagio’s casino, which features a variety of table games, video poker and slots. Club Privé, the high-limit lounge and gaming area designed by Adam Tihany, provides a secluded space with a contemporary feel. The lounge, accented with elements evocative of the opulent art deco period, has an elevated floor that enhances the exclusive nature of the room. Interlinking metal, dark wood, glass and silver-leafed screen partitions create a semi-enclosed area where players may enjoy a private atmosphere while still being part of the casino action. The understated lighting achieved by Venetian glass panels and chandeliers completes the unique experience.

The expanded poker room, world-renowned amongst poker professionals and fans, creates a modern venue worthy of today's popular sport. Guests are greeted with elegance and style from the Murano hand-blown glass chandelier hanging overhead to the intricate marble flooring paving the entryway. Throughout the room hangs artwork depicting the excitement of past Bellagio tournaments and previous World Poker Tour events.

The 7,000-square-foot poker room features 40 tables of non-stop action as well as ‘Bobby’s Room,’ the two-table, high-limit room named in honor of 1978 World Series of Poker Champion and MGM Resorts International executive Bobby Baldwin. In addition to ‘Bobby’s Room,’ a five-table, high-limit area sits in an elevated section of the poker room.
