Trip to Las Vegas and the Bellagio

I had to meet with some business partners in Las Vegas for a few days this weekend and we decided to stay at The Bellagio Hotel. The hotel is beautiful and stands out among others. There are many beautiful hotels on the Las Vegas strip, but The Bellagio is the only one I know of that has a small lake and a water show every 30 minutes in the evening. The water show is timed to different music and is the only free show in Vegas I could find! We only stayed for a couple days, so I can't write a full review on Las Vegas. The hotel had so much to offer, I didn't really ever leave it. We had dinner at the Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant in the hotel. It was extraordinary. I tried a variety of Japanese Sushi including, Eel (Unagi), Giant Clam (Mirugai), Yellowtail Tuna (Hamachi), Scallop (Hotate), and the strangest of all, Sea Urchin (Uni). It was all great. Uni had the most unique texture and taste, almost impossible to describe. Unagi, was by far my favorite. It was so delicious and the best I've ever tasted. The Casino is of course the main attraction at the Bellagio and you can't miss it, considering you have to walk through it to get to your rooms. My room was on the 7th floor, there are 36 floors in the building and it really stands out as a monument in Las Vegas. It's hard to grasp how large the entire complex is. There are so many things to see and do inside, you really don't need to ever leave. They have around 10 great dining options and excellent entertainment. I had breakfast at the Bellagio Cafe and grabbed my morning Carmel Mocha at Jean Phillipe, which has a really cool chocolate fountain. The Bellagio Cafe is located inside a very nice atrium with over 10,000 flowers. It's a very peaceful place to relax with a cup of coffee. The rooms were nice and big with a glass shower and separate tub. The staff is attentive to your needs as well. If you're in Vegas, I would definitely recommend giving the Bellagio a try. It's a great hotel with some really nice amenities.
