Las Vegas: Bellagio Hotel

Las Vegas: Bellagio Hotel

Home of the famed Cirque du Soleil show O, the Bellagio Hotel has this and much more to offer the Las Vegas guest. Opened in 1998, this luxury hotel is patterned after a Roman extravaganza, but offers everything for the modern traveler.

Sited on the shores of a 10-acre man-made lake, the hotel houses 20 restaurants and cafes, a 65,000 square foot spa and salon and a dozen other attractions.

The famed Bellagio Fountains are just outside. A thousand choreographed sprays blossom into the air in a water ballet that has to be seen and heard to be appreciated. The jets are timed to classical music and Las Vegas visitors will often stand in front of them day or night for an hour and watch the show.

Destination: Maui - Beach Hotel Benefits

By: John Simmons
???Maui No Ka Oi???, translates quite simply to Maui is the Best!

My Favorite: La Paz Mexico Hotel

As far as I can figure out, Posada LunaSol means “guest house of the moon and sun”. I enjoyed several nights there while traveling around the lower Baja Peninsula and plan to visit again in October. Why October? Well, by then the hurricane season should be over, the summer scorch has moderated and the water’s still plenty warm enough for snorkeling.

My Favorite: La Paz Mexico Hotel

But back to Posada LunaSol. This is the type of place you’ll want to stay if you’re a bit adventurous and want to really experience Baja, rather than stay in a cookie cutter resort that caters to US tourists. It’s not cheap, but it is reasonably-priced. It’s tucked away in a quiet residential area, but is just a short walk to the beaches and downtown. It’s colorful, for sure, and clean and well-kept. There’s a little open air?kitchen with a sink, fridge and stove where you can prepare simple meals and snacks. The best feature, however, is the spacious rooftop palapa with shade, lounge chairs and cool sea breezes for those lazy afternoons when it’s too hot to move.

Imagine a thoroughly modern motel with decor and demeanor devoted to pop culture. Yeah, I know you’re thinking “how cheesy”, but you’d be oh so wrong.
