Sumptuous suites

Delectable dining MICHAEL MINA One of the best fine-dining seafood restaurants in the city, Michael Mina has the freshest fish on the strip — he flies a curated selection in daily — paired with globally inspired ingredients. And because this is Las Vegas, most dishes have delightful tableside preparations. Favorites include hamachi crudo and hot charcoal- grilled shellfish. SADELLE’S This famed New York brunch outpost has finally made its way to Las Vegas. Take in views over Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens while digging into some of Sadelle’s most famous dishes, such as sweet-and-salty Sticky Buns, the Sadelle’s Tower and Eggs Benedict. This charming cafe is open all day.

With prime views of the Fountains of Bellagio, it’s the perfect place to enjoy live entertainment nightly. The club redefines the dinner-and-a-show concept that originated in London supper clubs and made its way to New York in the 1930s: There are live performances that evolve throughout the night served alongside exceptional cuisine. Come for its contemporary American menu, as well as its curated selection of rare spirits, after its inaugural opening at the end of December 2019. SPAGO BYWOLFGANG PUCK The fine-dining Italian restaurant helmed by chef Wolfgang Puck is an iconic Las Vegas outpost, serving mouthwatering Italian-meets-California cuisine and paired with the best view in the house: the Fountains of Bellagio. Enjoy alfresco patio dining facing the fountains while tucking into handmade pastas, wood-oven pizzas, prime steaks and seasonal desserts.

Art &entertainment World-class art can be found everywhere at Bellagio. From the moment you arrive, the Fountains of Bellagio™ take center stage. Inside, there are various types of art under one roof, which include special exhibits featuring world-class artists at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, and a public collection of 65 pieces of artwork valued at $110 million. While in Las Vegas, you must catch a show by Cirque du Soleil. Bellagio hosts the delightful “O™” by Cirque du Soleil ®, featuring talented acrobats, swimmers, divers and dancers in this aquatic- themed production. The theatrical performance recalls those seen in European opera houses, blending romance, surrealism and pure joy. The Roman-style Bellagio Spa & Salon is the ultimate oasis of relaxation and tranquility. The spa focuses on regeneration from the inside out: Choose from globally inspired rituals that calm the body and the mind. Post-treatment, take to one of the myriad relaxation lounges, the redwood sauna, eucalyptus steam room, cold plunge pool or three whirlpools. There’s even a unique hydrotherapy experience within the hotel’s Vichy shower, called ‘Under the Rain.’ It’s used to increase circulation, soothe the nervous system and balance the body. There’s also an extensive menu of massages, facials, nail services and beauty treatments available. Relax
