Stayed at Bellagio for the first time back in May of 2000, and at that time it was the best place in town. That started to change shortly thereafter when MGM took over Mirage Resorts. I remember talking to Bellagio employees after the takeover who mentioned some of the little things that were changing under MGM's management, such as carpets in public areas not being replaced as frequently as Mr. Wynn had always insisted on, fewer employees in the pool area, etc. Just small stuff at first, but the handwriting was definitely on the wall. We switched to Wynn as soon as it opened and have never looked back. I want to try MO, but it's tough for me to pass up a Wynn Tower Suite and my favorite cabana at the rear TS pool.
