The Impressionists sought to capture the beauty of light and color in a multidimensional, linear way. From morning to night, the atmosphere, energy, and color of the Bellagio evolve much like the swirling pinpoints of light on an Impressionist canvas. Begin your day beneath the soft, ambient light of the spa, and close it out under the pulsing lasers of Light. A Continental penchant for fine art is reflected in the Bellagio’s quasi-Italian theme. In the Gallery of Fine Art, you can see the inspiration in paintings by Monet, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and more. Find yourself immersed in morning tranquility, as in a Monet waterscape; as the day progresses, you’ll find nightlife that can be compared to a bacchanal worthy of Toulouse-Lautrec. Through it all, touches of European elegance keep you feeling serene. From the conservatory with a hundred-year-old fountain to the lobby’s lovely blown-glass floral sculpture, the Bellagio aims for a quiet decadence. This decadence is equally apparent in the oversize rooms. Slip into the generously sized tub and let the cares of the day wash away. Marble floors, perfumed soap, and exquisite linens create the feel of a European luxury hotel. The theme is carried through most beautifully in its pool area. Composed of six different pools, your own personal Roman Holiday will take shape when you lounge in front of fountains and columns that Sophia Loren would approve of. If the Italianate visuals aren’t enough for you, close your eyes and listen as the delicate strains of Neapolitan arias cause you to mistake the pool for the softly lapping waters of the Adriatic.
