"While no longer state-of-the-art, Bellagio remains at the top end of the Vegas spectrum... The restaurants are among the best in town, and the central location is a plus."
Frommer's

Concierge
"Built by Steve Wynn in 1998, the 3,933-room resort still stands as the pinnacle of luxury at the center of the Strip."

First-time visitors, ask for a room facing the iconic dancing fountains out front; the view of these is actually better from lower floors.
Fodor's
"Bellagio is impressive more for its refined elegance than for gimmicks." Full review

If it's pampering you're after, stay in the Spa Tower, which has impressive rooms and suites (with steam showers and soaking tubs), as well as an expanded full-service spa and salon.

"Although it’s still considered among the hippest casinos in town... The Palms is in many respects just a presentable but rather dull locals’ casino."
Concierge
"To enjoy the Palms, you must be a fan of "the scene." If you're not, you will despise this property."
Fodor's
"Rooms at the Palms are large, opulent, and modern, with some unusual amenities for Las Vegas, such as beds with ultra-firm mattresses, duvets, and ample minibars." Full review

For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at Palms Place, which has a private pool and separate restaurant.

Request an upper floor to score a Strip view.

"The modern styling in the large casino, hardwood floors instead of carpeting, and exposed duct work in lieu of chandeliers make a fitting backdrop to the latest in casino technology." Full review

Request rooms above the seventh floor to avoid nightclub noise.
