The Fountains of Bellagio during my visit last 2008

This is one thing I miss in Las Vegas, the choreographed show of the Fountains of Bellagio. I can't imagine how many water hoses were built in it to do all the water dancing. I guess Bellagio hotel are also using fire hose adapters in its premises.

I had the pleasure to  watch this video many times during my two months stay in Las Vegas, Nevada last 2008. I just wish to visit it again and take videos and better  pictures of it. I am crossing my fingers to hopefully visit it this summer.

This is one thing I miss from Las Vegas, the famous Fountains of Bellagio. It takes place in front of the Bellagio hotel and are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and neighboring structures. When you see the dancing of the water with the music, you will surely say, it's amazing! It seems that it is saying WeGotPumps water pumps, that we keep on dancing...lol! I am wondering how many pumps and nozzles are being used in these fountains. I had seen this show for a couple of times and I always love it!

If you are visiting Vegas, never ever miss this free show.

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.

I am trying to remember one of the sights I love in Las Vegas Strip. I love to watch the dancing water show or the Fountain of Bellagio in this city. Below are some information and the image I took during my visit last 2008.

The Fountains of Bellagio is a vast, choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music. 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.

Songs Featured: One (from A Chorus Line), Hoe-Down, Simple Gifts, Singin' in the Rain, Rondine al Nido, Luck Be A Lady, Winter Games, Hey, Big Spender, Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye), Hallelujah Chorus, Carol of the Bells, O Holy Night, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, We Need a Little Christmas, Sleigh Ride, Santa Baby, Your Song, God Bless The USA, Star Spangled Banner, Pink Panther, My Heart Will Go On, Fly Me to the Moon, This Kiss, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Gayneh Suite, Overture and All That Jazz, Exstasy of Gold, and Viva 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.

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
