Bellagio, The Hotel Of Las Vegas

By Chris Linch

Bellagio, one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, is a 3400+ room AAA Five Diamond award winning hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Opening on October 15,'98, its design was inspired by the Lake Como resort in Bellagio in Italy, and features an eight-acre lake located between the hotel and the strip.

Owned by MGM Mirage and built by Steve Wynn, Bellagio is located on the lot previously held by the Dunes hotel. It neighbors Ceasars Palace to the north, Bally's and Paris Las Vegas directly across the strip, and the new MGM development City Center is just south of the resort. Many other resorts are within walking distance. Some of these are the Mirage, the Imperial Palace, Harrah's, and more.
