Surprised to find out that Bellagio changed its policy on Chairman's Lounge access for certain suites last month (December 2017). I believe that the Cypress Suite is now the lowest-level suite that gets Chairman's Lounge access included with the base price (although the precise hierarchy of Bellagio's suites has never been clear). All suites lower than that - including even the premier fountain-view penthouse suite - are no longer eligible and will be charged $150/night for Chairman's Lounge access. This also means no more airport transfers and no more separate check-in area.

Crazy to me that guests could pay $800+/night for a suite and not even get VIP check-in benefits - they'll just have to stand in the massive lines in the lobby with everyone else.

Bellagio hasn't been a luxury hotel in a very long time, but this one feels particularly nickel-and-dime-y.
