The Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada

This is the only lake in Las Vegas where you can witness a large dancing water fountain synchronized with music. This is the famous Fountains of Bellagio. It is one of the most notable features of Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lake was inspired by the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy.

Never miss to watch it when you visit Las Vegas.
I had the chance to watch this spectacle for a lot of times during my vacation in Vegas last 2008. This is one of the images I took.

Bellagio Lake in Las Vegas

Bellagio Lake or Lake Bellagio or Fountains of Bellagio, I believed it all sounds the same. It is a lake found in front of Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. It is also one of its most notable features. It is a man-made lake where you under its surface are found large mass of water tiny fountains that can shoot water as high as the height of the Bellagio hotel or even more. The dancing water fountain is also played with music which made it more romantic and interesting. How I miss this scene!

Here I am standing exactly at the front of the lake and the hotel.

Amazing Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas

I truly miss watching the dancing water show in front of Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas strip, Nevada. I watched this show for a lot of times during my stay there and I believed I will never get bored of watching it. Now it is over. I am back in Europe and all I can see are the pictures I took during my 2 months vacation in this city. Las Vegas is truly an entertainment place! Here are some of the pictures I took during my trip to Las Vegas.
Bellagio was conceived by Steve Wynn and built by his company, Mirage Resorts, Inc. following the purchase and demolition of the legendary Dunes hotel and casino in 1993. Bellagio was designed by DeRuyter Butler and Atlandia Design. Bellagio had an original construction cost of US$1.6 billion.

The Bellagio opened October 15, 1998, just before 11 p.m. in a ceremony that was reported to cost US$88 million. The VIPs invited to the grand opening were expected to donate to The Foundation Fighting Blindness US$1,000 a person or US$3,500 a couple, which entitled them to an overnight stay at Bellagio's suite rooms.

The Fountains of Bellagio is a vast, choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music. (See musical fountain.) The performances take place in front of the Bellagio hotel and are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and neighboring structures. The show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. to midnight. Before a water show starts, the nozzles break the water surface and the lights illuminating the hotel tower turn to a purple hue (usually), or red-white-and-blue for certain music. Shows may be cancelled without warning because of wind, although shows usually run with less power in face of wind. A single show may be skipped to avoid interference with a planned event. The fountain display is choreographed to various pieces of music, including songs by Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, and Gene Kelly.

The fountains are set in a 9-acre (3.6 ha) manmade lake. Contrary to urban myth, the lake is not filled with treated greywater from the hotel. The lake is actually serviced by a freshwater well that was drilled decades prior to irrigate a golf course that previously existed on the site. The fountains actually use less water than irrigating the golf course did.[5] They incorporate a network of pipes with more than 1,200 nozzles that make it possible to stage fountain displays coordinated with more than 4,500 lights. It is estimated that the fountains cost $75 million to build. The fountains were created by WET, a design firm specializing in inventive fountains and architectural water features. wikipedia

Before 3:00 PM, be sure to position yourself in front of Bellagio Hotel. This is where you are going to see the famous Dancing Fountain Show in Las Vegas.

Fountain IN Bellagio, Las Vegas

I finally found a photo on the dancing waters in the lake of Bellagio in my files. As what I have said previously, I found it very amazing. This show performs everyday. In some days, every thirty minutes and during the night every 15 minutes. You can try to search it in the internet to make it sure if ever you want to watch it during your visit in Las Vegas. I guess there are a lot of toggle switches that are being use in this spectacular show. It is also very refreshing watching it especially during the hot summer time in Las Vegas. You better go earlier especially in the night to find a good position to watch it because there are always a lot of people watching it too. This show is simply fantastic. I guess I am seeing this again next year.

Dancing Waters in Bellagio, Las Vegas

Wait a moment guys, the fountain in front of the 8-acre lake in Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas is still not dancing. I remember watching the show for a lot of times when I am in Las Vegas Strip especially when my cousin performs in Ballys. This dancing water show is very spectacular. While there is an aquatic performance going on in this lake, an opera, classical or Broadway music is playing at the same time. It is so romantic. So here I am taking a pose in front of the lake.
