2012 FMG Symposium Hotel Information
The epitome of quality, romance and elegance on the Las Vegas Strip, The Bellagio offers luxurious rooms, gourmet restaurants and upscale shopping along with a healthy dose of cultural enlightenment.
From the moment one passes the tree-lined pathway and eight-acre lake in front of the hotel, it's clear that Bellagio pays impeccable attention to detail. The Fountains at Bellagio are world famous, amazing onlookers as they soar into the sky. A vibrant flower petal chandelier by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, called Fiori di Como, hangs above the lobby like a garden growing from the 18-foot ceiling. The front desk is bordered by a thriving display of foliage, which often coincides with the seasonal display of fresh flowers and trees at the glass-topped Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
Decorated with custom-draped canopies and coffered ceilings, the casino offers table games, video poker, slots and a race and sports book as well as a high-limit lounge and an exclusive Baccarat room for VIP guests. The 40-table poker room features "The Game," a commissioned painting by artist LeRoy Neiman, portraying preeminent poker players engaged in a high stakes game.
Art is a common theme at the Bellagio with museum-caliber exhibitions chosen from prestigious collections captivating patrons at The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art . The lobby for Cirque du Soleil's water-acrobatics masterpiece "O" showcases bronze sculptures of dancers and acrobats by master sculptor Richard MacDonald, ushering guests into the world of grace and motion before they even enter the theater.
Accommodations combine contemporary-style furnishings, fine art, modern amenities and bathrooms with Italian marble floors and surfaces. Guests will find ultimate relaxation at the Zen-inspired, two-story Spa Bellagio and can also take fitness classes in The Bamboo Studio exercise room. A quiet hallway overlooking the villa-style pool area marks the perfect spot to enjoy a cold treat from Café Gelato, read a newspaper or sip coffee. The shops at Via Bellagio are high-end and exclusive, while nightlife turns classy at The Bank .
For a first rate dining experience, treat yourself to the succulent French fare of Le Cirque, a three-time winner of the coveted AAA Five-Diamond Award or take in the natural beauty of Sensi, where waterfalls and carved stone walls complement distinctive Asian and Italian delicacies. Enjoy a view of the fountains at Todd English's Olives or pick up a sweet treat at the tempting Jean-Philippe Pâtisserie, home to the world's tallest and largest chocolate fountain.
The Bellagio was awarded its 12th AAA Five Diamond award in 2011 for the year 2012, making it the first hotel on the Las Vegas Strip and one of a select few in the world to reach this milestone. It is the only hotel in the world to house two Five Diamond award winning restaurants under the same roof. Because of its distinctions, it has a reputation as one of the finest hotels worldwide and is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
