Also, part of the FHR agreement is which rooms they'll upgrade you to/from, obviously there's some discretion, but I don't believe Bellagio will upgrade you past a Salone for free, barring exceptional circumstances (including luck).
The best gold or platinum will do is sometimes get you a strip view, which is an upgrade as far as the hotels are concerned, but not of any particular interest to me. I've been at half a dozen properties from MGM to Aria/Bellagio many times.
