"The AAA Five Diamond Award has been the most coveted symbol of
excellence in the travel industry since its inception in 1977 and
we are incredibly honored to be recognized for the tenth year in a
row," said Randy Morton, President
and COO of Bellagio. "We could not have achieved this without our
outstanding employees who work around the clock to provide superior
service to our guests."
Bellagio continues to be the only resort in the United States to be home to two AAA Five
Diamond restaurants. Joining Bellagio in making Las Vegas history, Julian Serrano's renowned restaurant Picasso
garnered its tenth AAA Five Diamond Award this year while Le Cirque
has earned the distinction for the eighth consecutive year. Further
adding to its dining accolades, Bellagio's Jasmine, Michael Mina
and Sensi all earned the AAA Four Diamond Award.
Ana Marie Mormandano, Vice President of Food & Beverage at
Bellagio, said, "There is only one place in America that you can
find world-famous chefs, unrivaled fare and the epitome of luxury
under one roof. We uphold the highest standards for fresh
ingredients, unique menus and worldly experiences that give our
guests a culinary adventure unlike any other."
Bellagio was the first Las
Vegas resort and casino to ever receive the AAA Five Diamond
award in 2001 and continues to offer unsurpassed excellence.
Inspired by the beautiful villages of Europe, the AAA Five Diamond Bellagio
overlooks a Mediterranean-blue lake in which the Fountains of
Bellagio perform their magnificent aquatic ballet.
Award-winning dining, a world-class art gallery, the exquisite
Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, Cirque du Soleil's stunning
production of "O," a sumptuous spa and salon and exclusive luxury
shopping all work together to compose the symphony that is
Bellagio.

lodgings undergo a thorough evaluation by AAA/CAA's full-time
tourism inspectors. Five Diamond establishments go through a
much more extensive review. AAA experts judge lodgings on the
exterior of the facility, public areas, guest rooms, amenities and
bathrooms. Restaurants are evaluated on criteria including food,
service, decor and ambiance.
