Review of Bellagio 5*

We had a wonderful time at Bellagio last week! The view was wonderful and so is the property. We loved our suite, very excited to have been able to stay in such a lovely room. The garden was beautiful, especially at night! The lobby and surrounding areas were clean and smart. The amenities and products provided were so nice, so many lighting choices, over the bed, in the ceiling, around the mirrors, much appreciated, automatic drape closure from 2 locations. Really appreciated the security of this level, Spa tower, 28th floor — strip and fountain view shown in photos. Parking was easy and close to check in. Parking exit was a breeze. Ate at our favorite Buffet for dinner. Wonderful experience. Thank you for identifying dishes that contain meat/pork. It really helps. Happy to see so many meatless options — we're not vegan either, just appreciate being informed/not surprised. Loved the spicy cauliflower dish, excellent! Seated quickly, seating/cashier folks were great, very friendly, had some laughs during short wait. Buffet personnel were working hard. Dishes promptly cleared. We did not feel crowded or rushed. Just love the Buffet! We ate at Caesars Bacchanal, Aria Buffet and Mandalay Buffet on this trip — Bellagio is the best! About the room, it wasn't ready when we got in. (Robert and Bernard checked us in — they were in the kiosk room — both get 10s, they are friendly and professional, tried their best to accommodate our request to check in upon arrival) Once in the room — we're not fans of the hospitality setup — products atop the counter and in fridge. Got charged for it's availability, $35 + tax, had that removed. Appreciate our own empty fridge, wish I'd known to ask about it ahead of time, would have asked for an empty fridge right at check in. Would have appreciated the option of waiving maid service — it was available online prior to check in at two other properties on this same trip. We like our privacy.
