Bellagio

This is my favorite hotel. There is something about it that's just classier than every other hotel. I like all the fanciful architecture, but clean lines and elegance are possibly more important. That's probably why the Luxor advertisement is so offending to me.

The group of us arrived at the Bellagio fountain and scored some nice Ocean's Eleven photos while we waited for the fountain. Turns out it was broken, so instead we watched this cheap ghetto boat/platform thing float out to repair one of the nozzles.

Seriously, you’re the Bellagio; spring for something that doesn't include styrofoam and rebar.

We did finally get to see the fountain up close on our way back. If you've never watched the fountain in person, put it on the list of things to do. Listening to Con Te Partiro while 12 hundred fountains shoot water 250 feet into the air is a spiritual event.
