We have just returned from 2 nights in a Deluxe lake view room at the Bellagio (Thu-Sat) and had an enjoyable stay. I have stayed at the Bellagio on two previous occasions and found the overall experience to be consistently good.
Check in was relatively painless, about a 5 minute queue. The assistant was afficient although not really that friendly and probably borderline arrogant.
We booked throught the American Express FHR programme, and recieved a discounted room (the cheapest rate I could find anywhere, and I looked pretty hard), free breakfast each day ($20 credit per person per night which more than covered the excellent breakfast buffet and could be used towards the weekend unlimited champagne brunch (Friexenet brut, so not really champagne) (again very good - $28 total per person). Also had a very nice free lunch at the Olive's Restaurant by the lake watching the fountains - the $85 credit allowed more than covered a 3 course meal each. (alternatively we could have had $100 spa credit).
The rooms are definitely showing signs of age now, and it is true that more than 1/3 of the sq. feet are in the bathroom which is a little inefficient in its use of space. The rooms do not have a 'wow' factor at all really (about the level of a 4* hotel), but the lakeview does - I would not stay here if I didn't have a lake view. The fountains are amazing and its one of the few 'room with a view' upgrades worth paying for. Amenities in the room are good - nice fluffy towels and robes, and plenty of them. The TV in the room is not at all good, a 27inch old CRT with a wobbly flickery picture. This really is a bit of a disappointment and worse than the ones found even in Premier Inns etc. No DVD player either.
Bed was big and comfortable. Turn down service good and happened both nights for us, consisting of new towels and chocolates by the bed (no ice delivered).
The pools are lovely here, and the water is especially warm in the big pools. Overall a very nice ambience.
We have also stayed at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas, which we thought was amazing and certainly was by far the most luxurious and inviting of the two hotels. However, I still recommend the Bellagio even if its just for the fun of having stayed there and imagining planning your Heist with Pitt and Clooney.
