A night at the Bellagio can make any schlub feel like a millionaire. The staff is excellent. The rooms are beautiful. Even the non-lake view rooms have terrific views of the mountains.
Although the casino clearly caters to mid and high rollers, I did stumble across a few rows of nickel slots, and poker machines. Also, quarter slots are plentiful. The waitresses, for obvious reasons, don't spend a lot of time near the nickel and quarter slots, but they're still friendly, as long as you tip.
During weekdays, blackjack tables may go down to $10 from the weekend minimum of $20. Still not cheap, but 50% off is a notable relief.
The restaurants are outstanding. Picasso is amazing. Sit outside, and you're literally meters away from the dancing water. You definitely get what you pay for here, so be ready to shell it out.
Pros: Attentive Staff, Pool area, Excellent food
Cons: cost, expense, price
