Bellagio standard vs. Caesars Palace Tower

If prices are comparable, and this was your first trip to Vegas, which would you take, a standard room at Bellagio or a Caesar%26#39;s Deluxe Palace Tower Room. The Caesar%26#39;s rooms look more updated, but the Bellagio resort looks a bit nicer. Room size looks like it%26#39;s comparable. Thoughts from anyone who%26#39;s stayed in both?



Bellagio standard vs. Caesars Palace Tower


Bellagio is a nicer facility than Caesar%26#39;s, but both are excellent. I%26#39;d say the rooms would be comparable. However, Palace Tower rooms are older. I%26#39;d choose Caesar%26#39;s if the price was the same and IF you are able to get one of the refurbished rooms in the Palace Tower, otherwise I%26#39;d choose Bellagio. Wait, I take that back, I%26#39;d choose Bellagio unless I could have an Augustus Tower room for the same price!



Bellagio standard vs. Caesars Palace Tower


All of the Palace Tower rooms have been renovated and look like the Augustus Tower rooms (except they don%26#39;t have tvs in the bathroom)





Palace Tower rooms have nice big Whirlpool tubs, but regular bellagio rooms do not.





Of course if you have a lakeview room at the Bellagio, that would be ideal for a first time visitor.





Palace Tower rooms are a little bigger than the standard Bellagio room.





I%26#39;d actually go for the Palace Tower.




Yeah if the Bellagio room was Lakeview that would be a no-brainer but otherwise I think I%26#39;d go with the Palace Tower. If you choose Bellagio try to get upgraded to Lakeview. If you choose caesars try to get upgraded to Augustus Tower with a fountain view.....it%26#39;s all about the fountains!




If it is a Premium Palace Tower Room then they are very nice.



Whirlpool for 2, actually has 2 bathrooms with interconnecting largeshower with his %26amp; hers shower heads. Wall mounted T.V. and in her bathroom a bidet. We were there last week and will be there again in May. Had a nice view of the pool area.




regarding the Palace Tower at CP, be warned that if you have a room on the NORTH side of the tower, the view is pretty crummy. You primarily see the top of CP%26#39;s parking deck and the interstate.





You do face directly towards the Mirage, and can see the Wynn as well. But it%26#39;s not the dynamite view you get from the south-facing rooms.





I know this doesn%26#39;t help your decision, as you don%26#39;t get to pick the room location when booking. But if you decide on Caesars, when you check in, beg, plead, bribe, etc. to make sure you get a south-facing room.




Well, y%26#39;all haven%26#39;t made my decision any easier, but I very much appreciate the info. We have a couple months until we go, so we%26#39;ll see what happens with prices between now and then. From what I can tell from my research and what y%26#39;all are saying, I%26#39;d prefer an Augustus tower room or a Bellagio fountain view room. I might just pick the cheapest rate I can get at either of the hotels and then try for an upgrade when I get there. We%26#39;re going midweek so hopefully there will be some availability for a free or reduced price upgrade.
