Bellagio earns 10th straight AAA Five Diamond award

Bellagio earned its 10th straight AAA Five Diamond award, the first Strip resort to reach the milestone.

The MGM Resorts International-owned property is also the only hotel in America to have two AAA Five Diamond restaurants.

The honor was announced Friday.

Julian Serrano's Picasso restaurant earned its 10th AAA Five Diamond Award this year while Le Cirque has earned the distinction for the 8th consecutive year.

"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 10th year in a row," Bellagio President Randy Morton said. "We could not have achieved this without our outstanding employees who work around the clock to provide superior service to our guests."

Bellagio's Jasmine, Michael Mina and Sensi restaurants all earned the AAA Four Diamond Award.
