By Chris Linch

Bellagio, one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, is a 3400+ room AAA Five Diamond award winning hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Opening on October 15,'98, its design was inspired by the Lake Como resort in Bellagio in Italy, and features an eight-acre lake located between the hotel and the strip.

Within walking distance from the Mirage, the Imperial Palace, Harrah's, and more, it was built by Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynne and later sold to MGM Mirage. It occupies the lot previously home to the Dunes hotel, the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Flamingo Dr. It neighbor's Ceasar's Palace, Bally's, and Paris Las Vegas directly across the strip.
