| Description |
In a city with an exploding volcano, the world’s tallest Ferris Wheel, and a hotel shaped like a pyramid, the fountains at the Bellagio have set themselves apart as the undisputed ultimate Las Vegas iconic landmark. Let’s face it: whenever you see photos of Las Vegas, you’re bound to see the famous dancing waters on Lake Bellagio. An exact schedule is posted below, but basically, the fountain show runs every 1/2 hour in the afternoons, and every 15 minutes at night. Performances run 365 days a year, only shutting down when there are extreme winds. Opened during the resort’s grand opening in October of 1998, the fountains were apparently originally going to have colored lights. (The lake has nearly 5,000 lights). However, according to a story in USA Today, Steve Wynn preferred the classic white look. Looking back on it, it would seem very odd to see colored lights at the Bellagio. Disneyland can pull it off with their fabulous “World of Color” show at Adventureland, but the white just seems to fit the Bellagio’s show perfectly. The fountains of Bellagio have been a huge hit since that 1998 opening – doing what they were intended to do: attract attention from the crowds on the Strip. Steve Wynn however, who built the Bellagio, would later build the Wynn Hotel and Casino with the water and light show inside the resort, therefore forcing people wanting a free show to pass through gaming areas. |
