| Description |
Reports say the resort is considering replacing the iconic attraction with a mall. What Las Vegas giveth, Las Vegas taketh away. Eighteen years after the Bellagio opened and redefined luxury in Sin City, rumours are afoot that the resort plans to ditch its most famous feature – the dancing fountains. The fountains – which cost $40 million to build and contain 22 million gallons of water – are one of the top attractions in Vegas. Set in “Lake Bellagio”, facing onto the infamous Strip, they “dance” with choreographed movements every half hour to tracks such as Viva Las Vegas, Luck Be a Lady, and My Heart Will Go On, as well as more modern tracks from the likes of Tiesto. But a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal claims that executives at MGM Resorts, which owns the Bellagio, have discussed plans to turn the 8.5-acre site into a “boutique shopping and restaurant promenade.” “It’s incredibly valuable real estate that earns the hotel nothing,” a source told the newspaper. “It has had a long run as a tourist attraction, but now it’s time to make it a revenue earner.” The fountains are known as being a rare free attraction in a city that encourages spending at every opportunity. However, the restaurants on Lake Bellagio command premium pricing to match the views, and tables nearest the water are reserved for big spenders. |
