Fine Dining at Bellagio

Bellagio also features some of the best dining options in Las Vegas. For a delicious culinary experience, reserve a table at Prime Steakhouse, Picasso or Le Cirque.

Prime Steakhouse, helmed by executive chef Sean Griffin, is an award-winning steakhouse from celeb chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and serves up melt-in-your-mouth steaks, seafood and lamb. With ambiance that captures the 1930s speakeasies, diners are transported into a world otuside of Las Vegas. After enjoying the dishes, step outside to the garden patio for a post-meal cocktail and enjoy the nighttime sky of Sin City.

If choosing a restaurant on awards alone, Picasso is a natural. A recipient of the annual AAA Five Diamond Award, is is a sure-to-impress dining experience complete with walls adorned with Picasso paintings. Aside from a wine cellar with more than 1,500 selections from some of European’s finest vineyards, Executive Chef Julian Serrano’s menu changes daily and brings to life French and Spanish cuisine in the heart of the desert.

And, then there is Le Cirque. Also a recipient of the Five Diamond award, the French menu of steak, fish, chicken, rabbit, lobster, duck, veal, are just some of the highlights of the enticing and delcious menu by Executive Chef David Werly. Enjoy the creation of Restaurateur Sirio Maccioni, situated on Bellagio’s lake — it’s atmosphere is as lively as the tasty cuisine.

Aside from fine dining, Bellagio has other mouthwatering options. Todd English’s Olives is popular with the locals and has gorgeous patio seating to take in the fountain spectacle. Jaime Mendoza, Olives’ Executive Chef, has created some amazing Mediterranean-style dishes to enjoy while soaking in the stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip.

Relaxation

Hotel Guests can relax at one of the Best Pools in Las Vegas

Walking, gambling, eating … relaxing. Bellagio has become known for both its pool and spa, Rejuvenate. Locals regularly rank both as some of the best in town. The Mediterranean-inspired pool includes plush cabanas, lounge chairs, and of course, drink service to wrap any day in perfection. As if that wasn’t enough, it is open year-round (unlike some other resort pools in Las Vegas) and is heated allowing visitors to unwind even during the winter and lower temperatures.

Rejuvenate, the 65,000 square-foot oasis of calm and tranquility, provides some of the most decadent services in Las Vegas. From special caviar facials to poolside massages, and a myriad of packages, there is something for everyone. Check out Rejuvenate’s world therapies, including aquastretching, Raindrop therapy, Thai Yoga massages and the Indian Head massage.

Bars, Lounged and Nightlife

Following an afternoon of relaxation, sip an afternoon tea at Petrossian Lounge. Named one of America’s best hotel bars by Sante Magazine, the lounge opens every afternoon for a traditional tea service from 2 – 5 p.m. Service includes traditional tea menu items, as well as a variety of imported international teas.

Bellagio has no shortage of nightlife. Start the evening with drinks at the lakeside Fontana Bar. Sit outside and watch the fountains, or head inside to enjoy live entertainment complete with a dance floor. Then, head over to Caramel Bar & Lounge, the swanky ultra-lounge nestled in the casino, before capping the night off at The Bank, an upscale nightclub pumping out the ultimate club experience until 4 a.m. It brings in the beautiful people, big name celebs and world-class DJs to create a massive party.

Don’t Miss Out!

There’s more! Be sure to sample a sweet morsel from Jean-Philippe Patisserie before checking out. The European-style pastry shop serves the famous pastry chef’s chocolates, cookies, light fare and more. And, there’s a chocolate fountain.

Finally, the Bellagio experience is not complete without taking in a Cirque du Soleil performance. The beautiful “O” is housed at Bellagio and treats the audience to a visual spectacle beyond the imagination, set in, on and above a stage of water.

Collectively holding more Forbes five-star awards than any other resort and casino in the world, Wynn Las Vegas and its sister property Encore offer everything a visitor needs for a luxury getaway in Las Vegas. Widely regarded as one of the best hotels in town, Wynn Las Vegas offers an exciting gaming atmosphere along with incredible dining options, good pools, hot night clubs, and upscale rooms and suites.

Luxury Rooms and Suites at Wynn Las Vegas

You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a luxury stay at Wynn because even the basic Resort Rooms are stylish and luxuriously accommodating. With floor-to-ceiling windows, lovely bathrooms and a pillow top Wynn Dream Bed the Resort Rooms are ideal for most travelers needs. For the ultimate luxury getaway consider a stay at the Wynn Tower Suites, the first 5 Star, 5 Diamond resort in Las Vegas. Featuring a private entryway and VIP check-in, the exclusive tower suites at Wynn Las Vegas offer a range of luxury rooms from Tower King Resort Rooms to apartment style suites, to exclusive villas overlooking the golf course.

Dining at Wynn Las Vegas

Breakfast at Wynn can be as basic or fancy as you want. Grab a bagel and coffee from the coffee bar at the drugstore or enjoy breakfast at the beautiful Terrace Point Cafe. The buffet is one of the best in Vegas and is a great choice any time of day. If you want to splurge on one of the best breakfast spots in town then head to Tableau. Featuring both indoor and patio dining Tableau is truly a serene and special, if expensive, breakfast spot.

Reserve a patio view table at SW Steakhouse and dine by the lake.

For dinner reserve a table on the patio at SW Steakhouse or head over to Encore to enjoy Italian cuisine at the atmospheric Sinatra or a great steak at Botero. Budget conscious foodies should check out some of the great prix fix options currently offered on the Taste of Wynn Menus. Offered during off peak dining hours these reasonably priced menus provide an affordable opportunity to dine at some of the best restaurants in town. Foodie’s that aren’t concerned about budget, often head to the ultra pricey Alex at Wynn, a French fine dining restaurant with two Michelin stars.

For popular and casual late night dining one of our favorite spots is the stylish Stratta where a special starlight menu is served Thursday through Monday from 11pm to 4am. Other casual dining options include ZooZaCrackers, a great New York style deli, and the Buffet.

Exciting Nightlife at Wynn Las Vegas

The Wynn Las Vegas provides a great selection of bars where you can sit back and people watch, or meet up with your friends to enjoy a preshow cocktail. One of our favorite spots to enjoy a relaxing drink is Parasol Down where you can watch the lakeside light show through the windows opposite the bar.

When you are ready to party, head to Blush or Tryst at Wynn, or XS at Encore. Of the clubs at Wynn, Blush is more of a lounge like atmosphere. Over at Encore XS is one of the current hot spots in Vegas, with a gorgeous outdoor beach club setting.

Pools and Spa at Wynn

When the weather is nice, there is no better way to spend the morning than lounging by the pool. The pool area at Wynn isn’t spectacular but is well maintained with manicured shrubbery and ranks as one of our favorite pools for relaxing at. If you stay at Encore Tower Suites or at Wynn Tower suites then you should enjoy The Wynn’s Tower Suites pool, which is a private pool area reserved for tower suites guests. If you enjoy an exclusive pool atmosphere this is one of the best in town.

After partying all night, both Wynn and Encore provide great Spa’s where hotel guests can pamper themselves and rejuvenate. The prices are comparable at both spas and both spas provide an excellent menu of massages, body treatments and facials.

Wynn Las Vegas has it’s own Golf Course

Wynn is one of the few hotels in Vegas to feature an on-site course. Without a doubt Wynn is one of the best strip resorts with a golf course although very pricey. Weekday summer rates start at around $300 per player and you must be a guest to play.

Shopping at Wynn

Shopping at Wynn Las Vegas is a boutique shoppers paradise with dozens of high end designer shops for your enjoyment. Another great feature of the Wynn Las Vegas is its location directly across the road from Fashion Show Mall, one of the best shopping malls on the Las Vegas Strip.

The new Aria Resort & Casino opened December 16, 2009 on the Las Vegas Strip. Located between the Monte Carlo and Bellagio resorts, it is the latest crown jewel of MGM/Mirage properties. As part of the new, very impressive City Center, Aria is the most public of the five buildings that make up the mega-plex. Other buildings include Vdara and Mandarin, two nongaming resort/condominium towers, Crystals, a high-end shopping center and the Harmon, a private condominium tower not yet open.

The Aria Resort features 4,004 guest rooms, an 80,000 square foot two-level spa, a 150,000 square foot casino, 300,000 square feet of meeting space, three pools (one adults only!), sixteen restaurants, ten bars and the 1,840-seat Elvis Theater.

Aria Resort & Casino at CityCenter

Elvis fans should be especially interested in visiting Aria. The new Viva ELVIS™ by Cirque du Soleil® opens with a gala premiere February 19, 2010. Tickets are priced between $120-$200 including tax and fees.

Aside from the architecture, there are many large, public displays of art throughout Aria and the rest of City Center to capture your attention. The vast array of glinting gold and travertine marble surfaces will dazzle your eyes. Plus, a walk through Crystals, the high-end shopping mall, is worth it even just to window shop.

There’s even been a lucky mega-jackpot winner at Aria already. A man visiting from Monterey, Mexico with friends and family won almost $300,000 on December 29, 2009 playing a progressive QuarterMillion$InTheMoney slot machine while waiting in line for the breakfast buffet. Open less than two weeks and a casino has already started paying? Now that’s news!
