I agree, but what is offered in the room is also significant. The
Ritz has better furniture in the room than Bellagio, much nicer
chairs and lamps and bathroom offerings. It has a shoe horn, it has
pre-threaded needles with twelve or so different color threads,
something non existent at Bellagio. It has a more comfortable bed
than Bellagio, and better linen. It has a nicer robe. It has
complimentay shoe shine service at night, just leave your shoes
outside the door. All those touches that have nothing to do with the
attitude of people working there do make the visit more enjoyable.
Another little touch. Buy a refrigerator magnet at the Ritz. You get
it inside a nice blue box which will be given to you inside a nice
little elegant blue shopping bag. Buy a refrigerator magnet at
Bellagio, and you just carry it or, at most, it is given to you in a
plastic bag. How about the pen in the room? The nice white one at
the Ritz is much cooler than the long black one at Bellagio. The
toilet is in a room by itself at the Ritz, but in front of the
shower at Bellagio. I know MonteLago does not belong to the Ritz,
but the VP offered there is far, far, far superior to that now
offered at Bellagio. Having said all that, yes, Bellagio has better
restaurants, a more spacious and attractive casino, it is on the
Strip near lots of fun places, and Bellagio still comps rooms;
otherwise the Ritz is the far, far better place.

So many comments have been made on this topic, that I must reply
to
them.
.... And how much nicer is a room at the Ritz in Lake Las Vegas
than at
Bellagio!!!>>>
The significant difference is not in the rooms but in the service
and the
attitude.
At the Bellagio, by design the atmosphere overwhelms the customer
with a
look-but-don't-touch feeling and the slightly imperious attitude
of the staff
demands obeisance before placing our request.
At the Ritz, by design the warm, friendly atmosphere invites the
customer to
use the facilities and the emphasis-on-service and friendly
attitude of the
staff
takes some getting used to after the emphasis-on-gaudy on the
Strip.
Other important differences are crowds and traffic. None to speak
of at the
