Wanderful Wednesday celebrates local and regional travel deals and unforgettable dream trips
Bellagio’s New Guest Rooms
On the Strip, Bellagio unveiled their new rooms in spring with the entire collection completed by this summer. Encompassing all 2,568 guest rooms in the resort’s main tower, the new designs take inspiration from the movement of water, the beauty of nature and the vibrant reflections of light seen at sunrise and sunset. Featuring a luxurious oversized shower, dual sinks, a built-in closet and an activity table, Bellagio’s new guest rooms reflect thoughtful use of each space.
Design schemes are inspired by Bellagio’s famed Fountains and highlight nuances of nature and light throughout.
While the Premier King Room features a blue palette reflective of the sky just before sunrise, the Premier Two Queen Room is designed around yellow tones inspired by the sky at sunset. Both designs encompass strong, bold elements that are soothing and calming for guests either beginning or ending their day.
A spacious built-in closet and two comfortable, multipurpose seating nooks encourage full use of the room. Taking the place of the traditional bathtub is an oversized shower featuring an open doorless entry.
