Bellagio Fountains

Overview

The Bellagio Fountains are a choreographed water feature set in an 8.5-acre lake fronting the Bellagio resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Over 1,200 nozzles shoot water up to 460 feet in the air, synchronized to music and light.

Highlights

• Choreography: Each show is uniquely programmed with songs ranging from Sinatra to Bocelli to contemporary pop.
• Evening Shows: After dark, 4,500 lights add dramatic color effects to the water display.
• Free Viewing: The entire show is visible from the Strip sidewalk — no ticket needed.

History

Designed by WET Design, the fountains debuted with the Bellagio's opening in 1998. The system cost approximately $40 million and uses 22 million gallons of water from an underground well.

Visitor Tips

• Best Spot: The center of the sidewalk railing directly in front of the main lobby entrance offers the most centered view.
• Duration: 15–30 minutes (watch 2–3 shows for variety).
