The Bellagio Hotel, home of the famed Cirque du Soleil show O has much more to offer the Las Vegas guest. Opened in 1998, this luxury hotel is designed after a Roman extravaganza, but offers everything for the die-hard traveler.

Situated on the shores of a 10-acre man-made lake, the hotel has 20 restaurants and cafes, a 65,000 square foot spa and salon and a many other attractions.

Just outside are the famed Bellagio Fountains. Thousand's of choreographed sprays fly into the air in a water ballet that must be seen and heard. They are timed to classical music and Las Vegas visitors will often stand in front of them for than an hour and watch the extravaganza.

The lobby is truly worth a visit. On the ceiling are 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers hand-crafted to perfection. The Fiori di Como are multi-colored works of art that form only one incredible part of this city within a city.

Off to the side are more fascinating things to see, like the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Here you will find exotic plants from all over the world. If you have enjoyed the botanical gardens of London or New York, you won't be disappointed.

The Fine Arts gallery is optional, even for those not staying at the hotel. With major works by Picasso, Monet, van Gogh and other masters, it's small but eye-popping. Truly the equal of many European art museums, art lovers will find many works to view and enjoy. Even listen to an audio tour.
