anywhere on the Strip. Bellagio is one of the more popular hotels, especially
during the summer and Holidays. They also have a large convention center which
may affect booking even in off-seasons. However their convention area is not as
large as many others on the Strip and due to price convention goers often do not
stay at the Bellagio so it may not be as full as other nearby hotels when there
is a large convention in town.
