Fountains of Bellagio

The Fountains of Bellagio are a true aquatic extravaganza that goes well beyond just water shows. Every afternoon and evening, in the middle of the Bellagio resort's large lake, there is a free performance that lasts 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the time of day.

Over a distance of 1,000 feet, you will see more than 1,000 individual, computer-controlled fountains. The fountains move in time to the music and shoot water about 500 feet into the air while the light display dances across the lake and the music plays. For an excellent view, line up on the Strip's sidewalk next to the fence in front of the Bellagio. The trick is to wait until the show is over (the last four minutes), let the crowd leave, and then take a seat. You will need to wait 30 minutes until the next show if it is before 8 o'clock; if it is later, you will just need to wait 15 minutes.
