Following a renovation of their main Bellagio Tower rooms in 2020, the hotel is now renovating their Spa Tower rooms which will be complete by October, 2023. These new rooms are similar to what we see in the main tower, however there is one huge exception. Find out what the Bellagio stay experience is like, what the new Bellagio Spa Tower rooms look like, how I scored a great deal on the room and why this was my best Bellagio stay ever.

Now all we need is a MLB Stadium on Trop/LVBLVD. Yeah that’s the ticket. Complete Insanity.
WA casinos suck at “free play” . Small amounts and have to use weekly or lose rather then monthly. Of course seniors, were retired and have the freedom of any time.
Freeplay definitely drive me to go somewhere and I am definitely under the age of 55 lol. Circa sent me a $200 freeplay offer; going to stay there for the first time next week becuase of the offer.
Just need to put in my 2 cents. I have only been living in Las Vegas for 2 years, but, have taken note of many issues. First thing, I live next door to the hole in the ground that was supposed to become the new arena, and walk past it every day, what I noticed is that there used to be a permit sign for "All Net" which has now disappeared, so I don't know what that means, my thought is maybe another failed venture in Las Vegas. I am also not sure if the city ever did a traffic impact study, my guess is not, and that they really don't care. Sometimes, leaving the property at 4 a.m. traffic on Paradise Road is backed up just for workers going to the Fontainebleau, that seems to be kind of an omen. Another thing, having lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, and Charlotte, I really don't think they are going to be able to handle the mess that Formula One is going to bring. I have observed the police trying to handle traffic for "Lovers and Friends" and that was a mess, they also don't seem to know how to move traffic through an accident on the streets, they just seem to create more chaos, and lastly, for now, the traffic light system in this city is the absolute worst it is antiquated and they need to get the lights off timers, have you ever sat at a light at 5 am your light is red and there is no cross traffic, but you have to sit there and wait for the lights to cycle through, a little frustrating to say the least. .
I thought for a moment that was the checkout line at Walmart.
To be fair the casino doesn't have to give any comps away. Gamble at at your own risk. But i'm glad they do cause it keeps me coming back!
I really don't understand why anyone would choose Vegas for their next vacation . the basic corporate greed and cost of everything is amazing . Its just not worth it. There so many amazing places to see where you get a lot better deal for your money.
Just returned from a 3 day stay at Delano. Was unable to use my free food and beverage comp after I charged $211.00 on my second night due to the cyber attack. Used my $900 free play and at $15/spin, didn’t hit one bonus and never earned $0.01 of “bonus” cash. First spin using my money after free play hit the bonus.
Free rooms, Slot Play, and Food and Beverage is the ONLY reason why’d I stay there. Lastly, even in the Delano, the “MARIJUNA” smell Emanates from the central air conditioner! Something has to be done as I’m not a fan of burning skunk cabbage.
I love portillos & Barnelis!!
I’m from the Uk i have stayed in Monaco , London , Cannes , Paris , Vienna , etc, Your Las Vegas Hotels are Tacky , Overpriced, Overhyped, Crap 💩
Imagine a football game at Allegiant, and then double the fans spending THOUSANDS a day, for three days. This is going to bring SO much money to the casinos. You can't be an entertainment mecca and then be mad when you host entertainment events. I think y'all live in the wrong city…
IMO locals needed to push for a real subway years ago. Up and down the strip to Main street and to the airport… If the ubers and lyfts were halved there would be NO traffic. I still think Vegas is the perfect city for a F1 race with the best visuals possible.
The free play works for many people also if they don't gamble any more than the free play, however once on property they look around and spend money.
If you chose to stay at Rio with all the other great options Vegas has to offer- you deserve to stand in line. Better yet, if you’re aren’t smart enough to stay somewhere else you shouldn’t go to Vegas.
The later outfits, during da Bellagio review,
Go Lions 🦁!!!
I'm a Vegas local and I've stayed at Bellagio a handful of times and I agree that it is over rated at it's price point. Definitely a pretty property to take a walk through, but in terms of overall experience I think you can get a lot more elsewhere.
I have cut back my gambling in the last two years. I mainly stay at Caesars properties. I have been a 7*rewards player for years . I can say the comps and freeplay have decreased significantly for me. Without the perks, I do not make as many gambling trips to Vegas. I love your channel!
They will get rid of free play on the strip. Oh well. It always seemed a locals perk than a strip one.
I can't take any of your reviews seriously when you say you like trailer trash waffle house.
The "classic" Vegas hotels had so-called "gourmet rooms" – fancy restaurants that served "continental" cuisine – Dover sole, Veal Oscar, and, for dessert, Baked Alaska and Stuff They Could Light on Fire. They were costly for paying customers, but were usually comped for high rollers. That was the time when people brought their best clothes to Las Vegas, unlike today, where fat, drunken slobs (like me) are ubiquitous.
Just stayed in vegas last weekend. Biggest complaint other than the.traffic was I couldn't go anywhere without smelling weed. Down at the linq they were just smoking it walking down the street.
I Love " The DIRTY Castle "
So many reasons to NOT to go to Vegas anymore. You just lose at every turn in a city that is all about greed and not value. This city was built on value and now it’s a complete money grab to shake you down for all you have, whilst you try to convince yourself you’re having a great time losing all your money and I’m not even talking about from gambling.
