The Bellagio is awesome. I recommend that everyone stay there. The water fountain show that they put on in the front of the hotel is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
I did go to visit the Venetian and it was beautiful. I will definitely be staying there next time I go to LV. I was wondering how the rooms looked inside, from the sounds of it they are beautiful as well. Thanks!!

The following is from the Acura press kit regarding the CL paint process. Keep in mind that one of the "three coats" is the clear coat. The MDX and RL both get three coats of paint and two of clear coat. I have an MDX and the finish is a lot deeper and less prone to scratches and swirls.

From the bare metal body to the final inspection stage, the CL undergoes a careful 23-step, 3-coat, 3-bake painting process.

The process begins by thoroughly cleaning the body of grease and other debris that might mar the final finish or prevent paint from properly bonding to the metal. The body is then put through an electro-deposition coating process. This involves submersing the entire body in the negatively charged coating. A positive charge is then applied to the body. This has the effect of drawing the coating into every crevice and cavity of the body, ensuring optimal resistance to corrosion. The body is then thoroughly washed and dried and then prepared for the next operation.

At that point, the actual process of painting begins. The CL paint process is conducted by advanced robotic painting machines that deliver precisely regulated amounts of paint. The paint booths themselves are sealed from the environment to ensure that no dust or foreign matter is accidentally applied with the coatings."

How much for the clear coat front-end paint job?

Yep, the Bellagio fountain show is awesome, the hotel is new and huge, the internal decorations (lobbies, ceilings, painting, sculptures, and gardens/landscaping) are sweet, and the shops are the best in Las Vegas.

But a room in the Venetian is the closest thing to perfect but I'll stay at Bellagio [next time] to confirm that.
