A stay at the Bellagio is a vivid assault on the senses. The hotel boasts five pools set within Italian-style courtyards, where you can relax in poolside luxury by hiring a private cabana complete with TV and fully-stocked fridge. Unwind further with a pampering treatment at the award-winning spa or stroll around the Botanical Garden’s incredible floral displays. Peruse intimate exhibitions by celebrated artists at the Gallery of Fine Art and shop till you drop in Via Bellagio’s upscale boutiques.
