Does the Aria have a resort fee because you'll get a $5.00 potentially off the resort fee per day (to cover wifi/internet) which is included in all FHR bookings.

For Bellagio,
Do I just charge everything to do room or do they provide vouchers? Also, were there any issues with the hotel accidentally billing the breakfast towards the $100 credit?

I had to go to the front desk for checkout to take care of the $100 credit. Issues with it at Bellagio and Delano, they fixed it immediately but it was annoying. Definitely something you should keep an eye on and yes charge everything to your room.

A simple phone call to the front desk is all that is needed. Your account will show $100 credit and they will apply it to any charges on your account minus tip.

Amex will charge the first night plus tax. You will be charged 4 nights resort fee and the other two paid nights plus tax once you're there. I guess it's possible you won't be charged the resort fee on the free night but I wouldn't count on that.

I was able to use the breakfast automatic credit for lunch at Cafe Bellagio back in May. But I did verify that it would be allowed via a phone call to the front desk ahead of time. Could be a YMMV (hopefully not), but I was basically told that I had a $160 food credit (at the stated restaurant options) on my account for the one-night stay.

I'm going to stay at Bellagio from August 21st to 25th. I booked a fountain view room, but I wonder if i should get a resort room and hope they upgrade me to fountain view room? It's $30 different a night. I stayed at Bellagio mainly because of fountain view, by the way. Also will Wynn's $100 spa credit good toward Salon (hair cut, highlight..)?

Yes, the $100 credit can be used at the Salon. I had my haircut there last month and it was taken off the bill (the tip is excluded though. That stays on the room bill)

If you'll be unhappy without a fountain view, book a fountain view.
