Bellagio is one of the most famous hotels in the world, one of the first resorts that springs to mind when anyone is thinking or talking about Las Vegas. But would that name contain the spirit and excitement if not for the fantastic fountain show that celebrates that spirit every day and night from the man-made lake on Las Vegas Boulevard? We think not.
Since their stunning debut more than 21 years ago, the Fountains of Bellagio have entertained countless visitors on the way to becoming an emblem of an era of Las Vegas, much like the Rat Pack in the 1960s and Elvis after them.
Just as those thundering bursts of water shoot higher than you can imagine, the fountains have raised the bar when it comes to the way impressions are made and memories are created, Vegas-style. In recent years the fountains have hosted a Billboard Music Awards performance by Britney Spears, a classic Japanese kabuki performance projected against a wall of water, a Bruno Mars music video and a Game of Thrones-themed specialty show. But make no mistake, the fountains are always the star of the show, always captivating, always a must-see no matter how many times you’ve already witnessed their magic.
