9 Best Family-Friendly Hotels in Las Vegas
When this Lake Como–inspired wonderland opened in 1998, it instantly set the gold standard for the over-the-top Vegas resort experience—and its iconic fountains remain the most enchanting free show in town. While Bellagio could have coasted on spectacle alone, the resort has spent the past few years doubling down on the guest experience. A full renovation of all 2,568 rooms in the main tower—led by The Gettys Group Companies in collaboration with MGM Resorts International Design Group—has brought a new sense of refinement: think natural stone, soft textures, and serene aqua accents inspired by the fountains themselves. In many rooms, oversized showers have replaced dated tubs, lending a spa-like quality to the stay. Though known for its elegance, Bellagio is surprisingly accommodating for families. Beyond the captivating fountains, kids are mesmerized by the ever-changing floral displays in the Bellagio Conservatory, and the hotel's location in the heart of the Strip makes it easy to access family-friendly attractions nearby. Suites and connecting hotel room options offer flexibility for larger groups, and while the restaurants skew upscale, several—like Sadelle's and The Buffet at Bellagio—are ideal for younger palates. With its thoughtful updates and timeless appeal, Bellagio offers families the rare chance to experience classic Vegas glamour without sacrificing comfort, convenience, or a bit of magic

Head To These Hotels On The Coast Of Maine This Sumer
Inn by the Sea Inn by the Sea The coast of Maine is my idea of what summertime is all about, from clambakes on the rocky shore to falling asleep to the sound of seagulls. Here are three of my favorite resorts. Just seven miles from Portland's Old Port, Inn by the Sea gets my vote for the best example of understated luxury on the Maine coast. The property, bathed in sea breezes and wisps of morning fog, overlooks Crescent Beach, a mile-long stretch of coastline. You reach the beach via a boardwalk through a wooded grove and discover a strand that's perfect for shelling, long walks, and yes, swimming when the cold waters warm up a bit. I love the rooms here, which are bright, artfully decorated, and elegantly appointed. There are 62 of them, as well as Garden Suites, Loft Suites, Beach Suites, and Cove Suites, many of them offering ocean views. Inn by the Sea is renowned for being both kid-friendly and dog-friendly, and the Inn's restaurant, Sea Glass, has long been one of the state's top restaurants, continuing to uphold its culinary excellence under its new chef, Ramiz Jasic. If wandering through the property's extensive perennial gardens isn't calming enough, there's a pool and a spa for deep relaxation. A short drive away is Portland Head Light, the state's best-known lighthouse, famously depicted by Edward Hopper. Bluebird Ocean Point Inn Bluebird Ocean Point Inn Set in Boothbay Harbor's Ocean Point community overlooking Card Cove, The Bluebird Ocean Point Inn is a good base for exploring Midcoast Maine. The interiors of the Bluebird Ocean Point Inn were designed by Elder & Ash. Accommodations include king and double queen rooms in the nine cottages, as well as suites and multi-bedroom suites. There's plenty of dining in town, but the hotel offers the Ocean Point Kitchen and OPK Bar on-site. Boothbay is the essence of the Maine coast and the heart of the Midcoast Region, a haven for sailors and the gateway to Monhegan Island, which lies about 10 miles offshore. The town is filled with shops, boutiques, and restaurants, and offers the Maine State Aquarium and the nationally acclaimed Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Chebeague island Inn Chebeague island Inn Chebeague Island lies off the coast of Yarmouth, which is located just north of Portland. Accessible via a 20-minute ferry ride, Chebeague is about three and a half miles long and about half that wide at its widest point. The home of about 400 year-round residents, who include fishermen and lobstermen, it's long been a haven for those seeking peace, quiet and an escape from the heat, a world away from Portland. The Chebeague Island Inn dates back to the 1920s and has one of the most inviting porches you will find anywhere on the Atlantic seaboard. The lawn has Adirondack chairs and slopes down to Casco Bay. There is the nine-hole Great Chebeague Golf Course, clay tennis courts, lawn games, and a fire pit. Hamilton Beach is a 10-minute stroll away. Now affiliated with two of Portland's best restaurants, Twelve and Evo Kitchen + Bar, the food at the hotel restaurant is a high point of any stay. As for the guest rooms, they're painted white, flooded with light, and very simply designed. There's WiFi, but no TVs or phones. Nor is there any air conditioning. You just leave your windows open for the cool sea breezes.

Rosewood's Luxury Bahamas Resort Faces Backlash Over Threat to Carbon-Storing Seagrass
As climate risks grow, projects catering to the few ultra-wealthy raise tough questions about who really benefits and who bears the cost. A plan for a new ultra-luxury resort in the Bahamas is drawing backlash from local groups and environmentalists, who warn the development could damage vital marine ecosystems that help fight climate change. The proposed resort, Rosewood Exuma, is slated to open in 2028 on East Sampson Cay, a 124-acre private island in the Exumas. Developed by Miami-based firm Yntegra, the project includes 33 luxury suites, a 20,000-square-foot wellness center, multiple pools, and two marinas capable of hosting yachts up to 150 feet. It also includes a 150-unit employee housing facility and Yntegra says the resort will bring 500 jobs and support local communities. It will be powered by solar energy and promises to offset environmental damage by restoring up to three times as much marine life as it disturbs. But critics say that doesn't go far enough.
