Bellagio Fountains, Las Vegas (must see)
The Bellagio's Fountains is an expansive water feature that presents synchronized performances accompanied by light and music. These captivating shows take place in front of the Bellagio Hotel, offering excellent views from various locations along the Strip, including the street and nearby structures. Showtimes occur every 30 minutes during the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 pm to midnight. Just before each water show begins, the nozzles break the water surface, and the lights adorning the hotel tower transition into a purple hue (typically) or red-white-and-blue for specific musical selections.
Occasionally, shows may be unexpectedly canceled due to high winds; however, in most cases, they continue with reduced intensity to accommodate the wind conditions. On rare occasions, a single show might be skipped to prevent any interference with a planned event. Additionally, special shows can be arranged for momentous occasions, including weddings. The fountain displays are meticulously choreographed to a variety of musical pieces. The first show of the day often features "The Star-Spangled Banner" by Whitney Houston, followed by enchanting melodies such as "Time to Say Goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli, "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood, "Your Song" by Elton John, "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley, "Luck Be a Lady" by Frank Sinatra, "My Heart Will Go On" by C茅line Dion, a three-song medley by Tiesto, and "The Sound of Silence" by Disturbed.
These marvelous fountains are situated within an 8-acre (3.2 hectares) manmade lake. Despite popular belief, the lake is not filled with treated greywater from the hotel. Instead, it is supplied by a freshwater well that was drilled several decades ago to irrigate a previous golf course occupying the same location. Surprisingly, the fountains consume less water than what was required to maintain the golf course. A sophisticated network of pipes, boasting over 1,200 nozzles, enables the creation of fountain displays synchronized with more than 4,500 lights. This awe-inspiring water feature was designed by WET, a renowned firm specializing in imaginative fountains and architectural water elements.
