Many visitors go to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas for the unique and coveted experience of staying at the famous Vegas Strip, the glitzy and thrilling experience of the casino, or the sought after Fountains of Bellagio, the spectacle of water and light that has even been immortalized in one movie or two. But one spectacle no customer of the Bellagio should miss, the truly amazing experience that simply shouldn’t be missed? That would have to be Bellagio’s food.
On the lower floors of the Bellagio Hotel, customers will find a glass and chocolate corner that will introduce their senses to a truly artistic experience. Walking into the patisserie, visitors are immediately introduced to the sweeping, blown glass ceiling sculpture-like curved, thin sheets of ice is, curving above the round counter where row upon row of colorful, intricately build sweet confection sculptures are displayed; as they wait in line, customers can admire the Bellagio’s, world-famous, luscious chocolate fountain, just in case everything else wasn’t enough.
From the beautiful decoration to the beautifully decorated and exquisitely prepared food, the Bellagio Patisserie is a place not only to enjoy the delicious food - but any visitors are also invited to admire how their confections can be beautiful pieces of artwork as well.
