The Bellagio has several penthouses. I have stayed on the fountain side and on the other side. If you are there for a romantic stay, the fountain side is definitely a step in the right direction. Of course, the non-fountain views are breathtaking. So unless your love is beyond resuscitation, either will probably do nicely.
Check in has been a breeze. There is a private check in area that expedites things a great deal. One one occasion I had to wait a bit. I was offered food and drink to help pass the time (about 15 minutes).
The suites are massive with a full dining area, kitchenette, living area, separate bedroom and two full baths. One has a massive walk in shower and the other a beautifully large whirlpool tub. The accommodations in this bath put many salons to shame.
Service at the Bellagio has always been perfect. I called down to see if they had a bit of fresh ginger for tea to settle an upset stomach. Within minutes they had fetched some from the kitchen and had it in the suite with hot water for tea. A business acquaintance wanted a soda that was not in the suite. I called down and within five minutes it was delivered.
I suppose the way that I would summarize the experience at the Bellagio is "one with class". Not inexpensive, but definitely memorable.
