Cafe Bellagio | Las Vegas

I love Las Vegas! I remember coming here for the first time in the early 1980s as a small kid and the biggest thing there, was Circus Circus. Fast forward a few years and well Las Vegas has evolved into an adult Disneyland. I love the hotels here, they are out of this world. I'm not sure what is hotter, the hotels or the temperature. On this particular weekend it was over 107 degrees. The Bellagio is one of my favorite hotels on the strip, and it is just beautiful.


The lobby itself is gorgeous. The glass flowers on the ceilings are just breathtaking, another thing that takes your breath away are the fountains outside. I flew into Las Vegas on this particular weekend to celebrate my Dad's 69th birthday with the family. Thanks to Jetblue I arrived safe and sound. With a few hours to chill out we headed to the Bellagio for his birthday dinner. We had no reservations anywhere, and at a Saturday night in the summer, that may have been a bad idea. But Lady Luck was on our side tonight and we got to Cafe Bellagio and they accommodated us with a fabulous table for eight right next to their amazing garden. The service was on point and the food, just amazing. We had a few appetizers, crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, and lettuce raps. I ordered a mojito which was pretty good. And the whole family ordered dishes from Pasta Alfredo to Burgers to Sea Bass. Everything was good, but I vividly remember the birthday dessert my Dad got, it was this absolutely amazing cheesecake. It was better than any cheesecake I've had at the Cheesecake Factory. It was a great night with family, and such a nice change to spend Las Vegas with family.



After dinner we decided to walk around the hotel and just appreciate the lobby, the music, and the people watching. The food is good here and moderately priced. It is really nice in the eating area, but you can find the attire vary from ties and dresses to flip flops and shorts.
