KEY TAKEAWAYS
Bellagio is a casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip that combines a large gaming floor, a hotel, a poker room, shows and free attractions in one property. It opened on October 15, 1998, and MGM Resorts’ 2026 fact sheet lists more than 100,000 square feet of gaming space and 3,933 guest rooms, including 510 suites.
This guide describes what the resort offers, how to plan a visit, what parking and smoke-free rules look like, and how it fits among nearby Strip options. It is a reference built from the resort’s own pages, not a review, and it gives no ratings. Hours, games, minimums, fees and show schedules change, so every detail below is dated October 2026; confirm it on Bellagio’s official site before you go. If you plan to gamble, decide the budget first and treat it as paid entertainment.
Bellagio at a Glance
The resort sits at 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, on the Strip. Its official map shows the casino, a sportsbook and poker room on the casino level, the “O” theatre by Cirque du Soleil, a gallery of fine art, pools, and the lake where the Fountains perform. The casino and sportsbook admit patrons aged 21 and over, according to the resort map.
Rather than one big room, Bellagio presents a casino floor surrounded by attractions that visitors can enjoy without placing a bet. The table below gathers the facts a first-time visitor usually wants, with their sources. Remember that operators update numbers, so treat them as a snapshot.
| Item | What the resort states (as of October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Address | 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 |
| Opened | October 15, 1998 |
| Guest rooms | 3,933, including 510 suites (2026 fact sheet) |
| Gaming space | More than 100,000 square feet (2026 fact sheet) |
| Slot machines | 1,250 (2026 fact sheet) |
| Minimum age for casino | 21 |
| Free attractions | Fountains of Bellagio; Conservatory & Botanical Gardens |
The casino’s slot page cites more than 2,300 slot games, a different count from the fact sheet’s machines, so check the casino page for the current number.
The Casino Floor and Poker Room
Bellagio’s table games page lists blackjack, craps, mini-baccarat, roulette, European roulette, baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, Pai Gow, Crazy 4 Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Three Card Poker and Mississippi Stud. The resort says its Club Privé salon has 13 gaming tables. The slot page describes a High Limit Slot Lounge with bets from $5 to $1,000.
Table minimums change by day, hour and demand, so this guide gives none. Check the posted limit on the table before you sit down.
The poker room is on the north side of the casino next to the sportsbook, according to the resort. Its official poker page, as of October 2026, lists Limit Hold’em, a nightly PLO Double Bomb Pot at 6 PM, 10/20 No-Limit Hold’em with buy-ins from $2,000 to $10,000 and a $20 ante, and mixed games. It also states that players earn $3 per hour in comps at that game, and that the room offers table-side dining around the clock and complimentary beverage service. Games spread depend on who is playing, so confirm stakes with the room.
The casino also has designated smoking areas. The resort says guest rooms are non-smoking, apart from certain accommodations on the 19th floor of the Bellagio Tower.
Hotel, Free Attractions and Entertainment
The hotel side of the property is large: 3,933 rooms per the 2026 fact sheet. The resort FAQ explains that a daily resort fee applies, with details in the Hotel Reservation Terms and Conditions agreed to during booking. This guide states no fee amount because the resort does not publish one on that page; read the terms before you book and add the fee to your total.
Two attractions cost nothing. The Fountains of Bellagio are described by the resort as free for any visitor. As of October 2026 it lists shows every 30 minutes from 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM and every 15 minutes from 8:00 PM to midnight on weekdays, and every 30 minutes from noon on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The schedule may vary and the outdoor display can be cancelled for weather.
The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens are complimentary and open 24 hours a day, according to an MGM Resorts press release. The resort lists its Harvest display from September 19 to November 7, 2026, a Holiday display from November 14, 2026 to January 2, 2027, and Lunar New Year from January 9 to March 6, 2027. On October 16 and December 18 the Conservatory has a members-only Golden Hour, and the press release says it closes to the public on those days from 3 to 6:30 p.m.
Planning Your Visit
Getting there and parking are the first practical questions. The resort’s transportation page covers parking for hotel guests, and MGM Resorts’ parking page lists the current rates. As of October 2026, self-parking is $20 for up to 24 hours Monday to Thursday and $25 Friday to Sunday, valet is $40, and registered hotel guests pay $20. Nevada residents get up to three hours free with a valid Nevada driver license, except during special events. Prices may be higher during special events.
Time your free attractions: the Fountains start in the afternoon on weekdays and at noon on weekends, and the Conservatory changes with the season. Here is a labeled hypothetical, not a quote: a visitor stays three nights as a registered guest and plans four gambling sessions with a $400 gambling budget.
$400 ÷ 4 = $100
Parking = nightly rate × nights
$20 × 3 = $60
where the gambling budget is money you have decided in advance you can afford to lose, and the parking rate is the registered-guest rate listed above, before any special-event change. Add lodging, the resort fee, food and entertainment to complete the trip budget.
Compared With Nearby Strip Options
Bellagio shares an operator with several neighbors, and comparing them by a verifiable criterion is straightforward. MGM Resorts’ parking page lists the same self-parking, valet and registered-guest rates for Bellagio, ARIA, Vdara, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, MGM Grand and other properties in its Las Vegas portfolio, as of October 2026.
| Criterion | Bellagio | Other MGM Resorts Strip properties on the same page |
|---|---|---|
| Self-parking, Mon-Thu | $20 | $20 |
| Self-parking, Fri-Sun | $25 | $25 |
| Valet | $40 | $40 |
| Registered-guest self-parking | $20 | $20 |
Because parking costs match, the decision rests on other factors you can check yourself: whether a poker room is on site, how close the free attractions are to where you stay, and which table minimums are posted when you arrive. Bellagio has a poker room and a sportsbook on its casino level, plus the Fountains and Conservatory outside the gaming area.

Tips, Rules and Common Mistakes
The most common mistake is ignoring the resort fee until check-out. Read the booking terms, add the fee and local taxes to the hotel total, and compare the all-in figure, not the nightly rate.
Carry valid photo identification, since the casino and sportsbook are 21 and older. Because of the 21 age rule, under-21 companions cannot join you on the gaming floor. The resort also says smoke found in a non-smoking room can lead to a deep-cleaning fee, at a minimum $500 for rooms and $1,000 for suites, charged to the guest’s account.
Check the schedule for the Conservatory and Fountains on the day you go, because maintenance, weather and special events can change it. Keep your gambling budget separate from your trip money, bring only what you plan to spend, and stop when the session budget is used. Gambling is paid entertainment, not income.
