Bellagio, an opulent oasis on the Las Vegas Strip, has been enchanting guests since its grand opening in 1998. As an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM Resorts International, Bellagio stands as a AAA Five Diamond resort, epitomizing luxury and sophistication.
Location
Bellagio has a pretty prime location surrounded by lots of premier attractions and neighboring resorts to explore. Within a leisurely stroll, you’ll find yourself at the T-Mobile Arena, a hub for top-notch entertainment and sporting events.
The renowned Park MGM (home to the foodie-favorite attraction Eataly), and the ultra-luxe Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, are just steps away.
Bellagio also provides easy access to the bustling CityCenter, offering a dynamic array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With Caesar’s Palace and Aria right next door and Paris Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood across the street, you’ll find yourself with A LOT to see and do in the area.
Rooms
The resort boasts a staggering 3,933 guest rooms, including 510 suites. Even the most basic room is drop-dead gorgeous!
Bellagio is always updating to stay on top of trends in Las Vegas. Back in 2015, they gave all of their nearly 4,000 rooms a big makeover, and just a few years later (in 2021), they refreshed 2,568 rooms in the main tower.
The Spa Tower is currently being renovated with jewel tones inspired by Lake Como and the Alps, giving it a cozy, residential vibe.
If you’re a fan of good lighting, you’ll love the backlit mirrors surrounded by mother of pearl in the bathrooms. They’ve replaced bathtubs with spacious marble showers, and the whole redesign, inspired by Bellagio’s famous fountains, natural light, and the beauty of nature, gives the rooms a light and modern feel that’s a bit unexpected for Vegas.
The standard rooms are pretty spacious too, starting at 510 square feet.
For those seeking a wellness-centric experience, Stay Well Premier Rooms offer a sanctuary designed to renew and refresh. These rooms incorporate cutting-edge wellness technologies and amenities such as air purification, aromatherapy, and UV lighting to reduce bacteria and viruses.
Entertainment
Entertainment at Bellagio is nothing short of spectacular, with iconic attractions that define the essence of this luxurious resort.
“O” by Cirque du Soleil is a mesmerizing spectacle of aquatic artistry, surrealism, and theatrical romance. This world-class production features a cast of 85 artists from around the globe, including acrobats, synchronized swimmers, and divers performing both in, on, and above water.
The Fountains of Bellagio, a world-renowned masterpiece, orchestrates a magnificent ballet of more than 1,200 dancing fountains on an expansive lake spanning over 8.5 acres.
For those seeking a serene escape, the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens presents an ever-changing tableau of flora arranged theatrically. This enchanting display changes five times a year to reflect the seasons (and Lunar New Year), with meticulous planning a year in advance to ensure the availability of the necessary flowers, plants, and trees.
For gaming enthusiasts, Bellagio offers more than 100,000 square feet of gaming space, housing 2,400 slot machines, the BetMGM Sportsbook, and a Poker

Practical Tips / Things To Know
- Extra fees to be mindful of: As with all MGM Resorts properties, keep in mind that there will be nightly parking fees and nightly resort fees associated with your stay.
- Parking perks: Paying for parking sucks, but if you’re heading out to explore other parts of the Strip, your parking pass will work for other MGM properties too! For registered MGM Resorts property guests, the 24-hour parking fee provides you with in-out privileges of the self-parking areas across ALL MGM Resorts Las Vegas destinations within the same 24-hour period.
- Show Reservations: If you have your eye on a specific show at the resort, we recommend making reservations in advance. This can help you reserve better seating in the theaters so you can actually see what’s going on.
- Stay Connected with MGM Rewards: Join MGM Rewards, the loyalty program of MGM Resorts, to unlock exclusive perks, discounts, and personalized offers. You can accumulate points during your stay, which can be redeemed for various benefits.
- Mobile Check-In: Save time upon arrival by using the mobile check-in option. You can bypass the front desk and head straight to your room, which is a huge time saver during rush hours when dozens of groups line up to check in at the same time.
- Weekday vs. Weekend Rates: As with many Las Vegas hotels, room rates can vary significantly between weekdays and weekends. If your schedule allows, consider planning your stay during the weekdays for lower rates.
- Be mindful of special events, conventions, and festivals in Las Vegas too: Room rates can skyrocket to the high hundreds or even thousands of dollars on certain days. Look out for major events like CES (Consumer Electronics Show), SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association), the Super Bowl, NCAA basketball tournaments, championship boxing matches, Life Is Beautiful (LIB), Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) — and avoid visiting during those dates if you’re not actually attending these events!
