For real European elegance go to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Of all the Las Vegas hotels the Bellagio Hotel has it all, luxurious rooms’ delicious upscale restaurants, great shopping and fine art displayed throughout the gorgeous Bellagio Hotel. One of its striking qualities is the glass ceiling emitting natural light. All of this light illuminates the striking beauty and lovely charisma that is offered to its guests. The conservatory has trees and fresh flowers that change with the seasons. There is in-depth tile work, and lots of interesting sculpture. Even before you get to your room, your senses will be dazzled.
You’ll never find a better dining venue than that of the Bellagio. At Le Cirque you will find fine French food, three times the winner of the AAA Five-Diamond Award. If you opt for the Todd English’s Olives you will have a grand view of the fountains and if you just want something sweet go to the Jean-Philippe Patisserie.
There is shopping on the Via Bellagio but be prepared for the prices. Here are some of the exclusive names you will find, all of them upscale: Prada, Moschino, Chanel and Giorgio Armani, to name a few.
For an exquisite pampering visit the two story, 65,000 square foot Spa Bellagio on the second floor. They have 56 treatment rooms with four couple’s rooms. There are many lounges and it over looks the conservatory with all its lovely plants. They have a full menu of treatments. The most interesting and popular massages at the spa is the Ashiatsu. It is an ancient form of working on the body. A barefoot therapist walks on your back holding on to bars that are embedded in the ceiling. Or if you want to imitate the movie Goldfinger, go for the Egyptian Gold Body Treatment.
The most unique entertainment can be found at the Bellagio. Cirque du Soleil puts on a stunning show that incorporates the earth’s elements of air, fire and especially water. There are 85 acrobats and swimmers that perform above and in a 1. 5 million gallon tank. The most amazing thing you will see is when three acrobats dive into the pool from 65 feet above into a very small seventeen foot section of the pool. Then there is the free, state of the art, fountain shows on Bellagio’s lake.
The Bellagio, often described as a mini city, has many surprises. You can find quiet little hideaways where you can read or just sip coffee. Or you can find wide balconies that overlook the fabulous pools.
There are 3,933 rooms and 512 suites. The casino will please any gambler with over 116,000 square feet. It has all the standard games any first class casino would have. There is a nightclub called The Light that has a very active dance floor and world class DJ’s. In a classy Mediterranean setting there are five pools and four Jacuzzis. And they have numerous wedding packages available for the couple that just has to get married in Vegas.
The business clientele have not be left out. They have a fully operational business center and 14 meeting rooms in various sizes. And if your corporation wants to throw a huge affair there is a 45,000 square foot Grand Ballroom.
The room amenities are what you can expect at a five star hotel. In addition to that they have a concierge, currency exchange, luggage and maid service, a safety deposit box and of course, wake up calls.
You must be 21 years old to rent a room and anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by and adult. Only four people can occupy a room and you must supply a credit card or cash deposit to cover any incidentals that may occur.
The bottom line here is that if you want to stay in a upscale establishment while you are in Las Vegas to gamble, you can’t beat the Bellagio hotel. Make a reservation and have a good time.

There Are Many Las Vegas Hotels But None Beat the Bellagio Hotel
Palm Beach Hotel In Cyprus
My partner and I have always been big fans of Cyprus holidays and try to stay somewhere different every year to make it a bit more interesting. However, a recent stay at the Palm Beach Hotel was so enjoyable that we will definitely be going back there next year.
There were so many facilities at the hotel that we didn’t know where to start. There was an outdoor swimming pool, a children’s swimming pool and even an indoor pool for when it gets a bit chilly. There was a casino, Turkish baths, tennis courts, gym, water – sports, massage room, sauna, solarium, Jacuzzi, steam bath, beauty facilities, children’s playground, squash court and table tennis.
We were surprised at the wide range of restaurants and bars available at the hotel or on the street across from it. Even though there were bars and restaurants just opposite some of the rooms, surprisingly enough you couldn’t hear anything once you were inside your room. There was a massive selection from Italian, Chinese, Indian and French restaurants so there was definitely something for everyone. Even breakfast was an extravagant affair with a huge selection of items to choose from with either a continental or full cooked breakfast.
To make it even better the hotel is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, anyone going on Cyprus holidays who love the beach will definitely be happy here. There was also a beach hut which served light snacks and drinks which kept us going while sunbathing.
Even if you didn’t want to stay at the hotel there was plenty to keep you busy. Located about a mile from Famagusta and 10 to 15 minutes from Larnaca, a taxi ride was cheap and easy to find. There was plenty of car park space so this was not a problem if you like to rent a car on your Cyprus holidays.
The rooms were very clean as there was a maid service every day. There were also safes, mini bars, hair – dryers, satellite/cable TVs, radios, in – room movies, air conditioning and telephones available in all of the rooms.
The hotel was very pleasant which meant that we had one of the best Cyprus holidays we’ve had since we started going there. It was in a very good location close to Larnaca Airport and the city centre and had stunning views of the beach it over – looked. The whole hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and only too happy to help. The area itself was fairly quiet but there were a few good restaurants located nearby as well as fast food bars. The shops were only small supermarkets but you can get a bus to Larnaca if you needed to.
A lot of people asked to upgrade their rooms to one with a sea view and not even this was a problem and was done quickly and without any problems. Like I said earlier, this was definitely one of our best Cyprus holidays and will be returning to this wonderful hotel.
Is Hotel The Rich Cousin of Motel?
No one can claim he/she has not stayed in a hotel at least once in life. For those traveling for business, pleasure or for that matter, any other reason, hotels have come to become home away from their homes. Why travelers prefer hotels over motels when all they provide are same? Well, motels by far differ from hotels in their functionality, additional services, and construction. Motels have their room doors opening to exteriors to their driveway while hotel rooms open to interiors. Apart from other regular guest services that hotels provide, you can also plan your business meetings, conferences or even large conventions in some hotels, which is a far cry at motels. What is more, even the locations of hotels are also conveniently located unlike the traditional motels, which invariably cater to highway travelers who just stay by night.
The word hotel has originated from French, which referred to townhouse before being known universally as it is today.
What Is Star Classification of Hotels
The star classification of hotels indicates the type and quality of service available at any hotel. The enormous explosion of tourism in the last century has necessitated star classification for the benefit of discerning tourist public.
International and national tourism agencies along with respective governments rate and classify hotels on a scale of one to five stars. However, if you thought there is a standards body which classifies all the hotels of this world, here, you are in for a surprise. The attempts by interested industry captains have failed thus far and the standardization has been elusive till date.
What Do Star Ratings Mean
Briefly the ratings mean this:
One star: An inexpensive, low budget hotel which may not have maid or room service. Quite affordable by middle class
Two star: Marginally expensive and may have once a day maid service
Three star: A budget hotel which boasts of maid and room service, internet and health club service in addition to having a swimming pool
Four star: Expensive hotels by even middle class travelers; offers many luxury services in addition to afore mentioned services
Five star: Stands testimony to final word in luxury and are very expensive anywhere in the world. They offer countless innovative extras. Some of them boast of private airports and golf courses.
If you thought this was all, sample this. There are some unusual hotels too.
· Treehouse hotels
· Underwater hotels
· Cave hotels
· Ice hotels etc
Hotels are not far behind in records making. For example: Burj-al-Arab, Dubai, is the tallest hotel at 321 meters and the honors for being largest hotel goes to Ambassador City Jomtien with 5100 rooms at Pattaya Thailand.
