The Garden of the Gods pool complex is arguably the best on the Strip
Direct access to The Forum Shops and Omnia Nightclub
Augustus Tower rooms offer some of the best Bellagio fountain views in Vegas
Kurzfassung: A legendary behemoth that trades on its past glory while nickel-and-diming you for coffee pods and breathing air.
Bewertet von @annagabor40: I was blown away by the scale of this place. Walking past the endless stations of sushi, carving meats, and dim sum made me wish I had a second stomach. It’s pricey, but for the quality and variety, I think it’s a total bucket list experience in Vegas.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
The hype
The pools and location are unbeatable, but the property feels massive, smoky, and expensive.

You will walk miles. The distance from the Strip to the Octavius Tower elevators is a legitimate hike.
You want a massive pool scene with 7 different options
You plan to shop at high-end luxury brands (Forum Shops)
You want to be center-Strip with easy access to Bellagio and Flamingo

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the pool open year-round?
Yes, usually one pool (often Temple or Venus) remains open and heated in winter, but the full Garden of the Gods experience is seasonal (March-Oct).
Can I check in early?
Yes, but expect to pay. Fees range from $20 to $60+ depending on how early, and they are aggressive about collecting it.
Is parking free?
No. Self-parking is ~$20/day and Valet is ~$50/day unless you have Platinum status or higher.
Which tower is the best?
Augustus for views/luxury, Octavius for quiet/size. Colosseum (Forum) for new renovations. Avoid Julius for size.
Is there a coffee maker in the room?
Most rooms have a Keurig, but pods are not free. They are often part of the minibar weight-sensor system.
How bad is the smoke?
Bad. The casino floor has low ceilings in parts and ventilation struggles to keep up. It's one of the smokier resorts on the Strip.
Insider-Tipps
✨
Use the 'secret' exit near the Absinthe tent/Roman Plaza to get to the Strip quickly without walking through the whole casino.
✨
Rub the finger of the Caesar statue (or David's toe) near the entrance for good luck—it's worn shiny for a reason.
✨
The 'Pier 17 Yacht Club' is a hidden speakeasy bar inside the Green Fairy Garden (Absinthe area).
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'sulfuric' or sewage smell that occasionally plagues the Palace Tower elevators and lobby.
💡The weighted minibar sensors are unforgiving—don't use the fridge for your own leftovers.
💡The 'free' wifi is throttled to slow speeds; they push a paid upgrade for streaming.
💡There is a hidden 'Four-Faced Buddha' shrine outside near the Roman Plaza that is a legit cultural landmark.
💡Housekeeping carts are often left in hallways all day, creating obstacle courses.
