The Bellagio has been the byword for luxury in Vegas for years, and though some newer hotels are gaining ground, it's managed to keep the competition at bay by offering top-notch service, dazzling artistic touches, and an understated elegance. You're likely to come by here anyway, as the famous Bellagio fountains and Conservatory are a big draw for tourists, but if you choose to stay as a guest you'll be treated to large rooms furnished in a bright retro-mod style, public spaces decorated with an enviable collection of modern art, and a staff that's been well-trained to cater to your every whim. The dining options are similarly refined - Michael Mina, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Julian Serrano are just a few of the marquee names - making it one of the best places to stay if restaurant-hopping is high on your list.
