You can also take quick cab ride to the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace or the gondolas at The Venetian.

Bellagio is home to a range of bars, varying from high-energy clubs to quieter spots for enjoying drinks and conversation. The Bank caters to the nightclub crowd with opulent décor, chandeliers, private booths, bottle service and a glass-enclosed dance floor. Caramel Bar & Lounge mixes the best of both worlds: It’s filled with an upscale crowd looking to mingle and a low-key lounge setting for getting to know your new friends. Petrossian Bar is perfect for those who want to enjoy a cigar and an expertly blended cocktail in a relaxed atmosphere highlighted by live piano music. High rollers can enjoy the same amenities at the Baccarat Bar, which also offers tableside service — a must-have when partying in Vegas. For a more casual bar experience, enjoy a cold microbrew at Starting Gate, located next to the Race & Sports Book; or kick back at the pool bar with a fruity summer cocktail infused with cucumber or mango.
