The conbination of music, water and simple white lights.
This attraction is outside the Bellagio Hotel on the strip and you MUST stop by. Be warned that it is a popular display and hundreds of people stop to watch, but please don't dismiss it!

These fountains are on every night; every 15 minutes after 7pm and every half an hour before that (starts 3 am). The fountains still show on weekends and bank holidays.

The fountains cover a large space infront of the Bellagio. They shoot water high into the air and move so smoothly. All shows are to music; either broadway hits, opera or classical. They are truly magnificent.

I cannot say enough that this is an amazing show to see! Have a look at the photographs above; but I don't feel they do the show justice.

I first saw a fountains show on my first visit to Vegas and the music was Elvis' Viva Las Vegas!! I was so excited, I can't describe the rush I got!! I was in Vegas, listening to Elvis and watching this breath-taking display! A memory I'll never forget.
Since then I got and see the fountains all of the time while I'm there - it doesn't get in the least bit boring!

Part two of my Bellagio fountain show with more pictures of my revisit to the Sin City.

The Bellagio Fountain Show is simply spectacular! we have to thank the former owner Steve Wynn for creating such a magnificent concept. The display takes place in front of the Bellagio hotel and can be viewed from the Strip. The fountain show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 pm to midnight. Exceptions: a single or string of shows may be withheld when winds prevail; a single show may be skipped to avoid interference with a planned event. The design incorporates an array of underwater pipes with over 1,000 nozzles that makes it possible to stage fountain displays coordinated with over 4,000 lights and music.

Three types of nozzles are used for the various effects:

* Oarsmans - Swing back and forth to create dancing water

* Shooters - Shoots water upwards

* Super Shooters - Sends a water blast as high as 250 ft (76 m) in the air.

Show times:

Monday - Friday

3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
show every 1/2 hour

8:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
show every 15 minutes
Saturday & Sunday

12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
show every 1/2 hour

8:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
show every 15 minutes

The Bellagio Fountains Schedule

The swaying of the Bellagio Hotel Fountains
4 more images

When you are new in Las Vegas, tt is such a delight to watch the Bellagio Fountains at daytime and unknowingly, the fountains just start spewing all the way up towering the Bellagio Hotel. All you have to do is to stop walking and find a right spot closeby where you can have a good view of the fountain. For 15 minutes, the fountain will alternate spewing and splashing and accompanied by a music.

At night, it is even more beautiful to watch the Bellagio fountain when there is light on the water. You can see the water goes up like a geiser taller than the Bellagio Hotel itself.

The fountain dances to the tune of the music and it is mesmerizing to watch.

My favorite spot to view the fountain whether at daytime or at night time is at the middle of the fountain close to the walkway. There's also the music box closeby where you can listen to the music being played. I liked that spot because I can take great pictures of the fountain...

This is the schedule of the Bellagio Fountain:SHOW TIMES:
Monday - Friday
3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
show every 1/2 hour
8:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
show every 15 minutes
Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays
12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
show every 1/2 hour
8:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
show every 15 minutes
*Schedule may vary.
**Shows are subject to cancellation due to high winds

DANCING WATERS AT THE FOUNTAINS OF BELLAGIO

The fountains of Bellagio from the Eiffel Tower
4 more images

Yes! This is a must thing to do when in Las Vegas and it is free! One of the most wonderful displays of water, the Fountains of Bellagio are truly a sight to behold. Day time shows are every half-hour and the fountains dance to music that is heard from one end of the lake to the other. When the sun goes down, the fountains come alive and not only are they colorful but very romantic and will put anyone in that loving feeling. Night shows are more frequent and happen every fifteen minutes. A helpful hint is to stand on Las Vegas Blvd, The "Strip", near the waters edge wall and try to be in the center of the lake area wall. This will allow you to see the show head on and a complete panorama of water within eye range. Remember, this is one show you don't want to miss, The Fountains of Bellagio await you.

Even as we were admiring the christmas display there was a sudden buzz inside the Bellagio. People were thronging out to watch the famous dancing fountains of Bellagio. The lights came on and we all waited with bated breath for the performance to begin. For each tune the fountains danced like Arabic women who tantalise their viewers! Beautiful and exquisite when the music chimed "Jingle Bells" several from the cloud started clapping in tune and swaying to the music, however none could better the fountains themselves! It was truly a magical spectacle and I believe we have some good pictures of this show. I shall upload them very soon!

This combination of music, lights and water formations should not be missed while in Las Vegas. It is truly breathtaking and very very enjoyable. The show starts in the afternoon at around 3 and goes on at every half hour until midnite. Weekends the frequency is higher after 8 PM. It is free and all you have to do is get outside the Bellagio and stand and watch :-) Feel free to sway to the music with your partner too if you relate to any of the songs! :-) It's vegas and nobody's watching you anyways!

Also catch the fountain show while you are up the mock Eiffel Tower. It makes for a great view with the backdrop of the Bellagio.

Wet, AND elegant . . .

You can't really imagine this -- you have to see it for yourself. I knew I wanted to check this out (c'mon, it's FREE), but I didn't really expect much except a lot of fountains spewing water. Let me tell you, it was pretty daggone cool! We arrived a bit early to get a good spot with a head-on view. The music was Henry Mancini's theme for the Pink Panther, and it made for a fun show. (And as an aside, the Bellagio is a pretty long walk from the Luxor!)

Water dances to music

Over 1,000 water fountains dancing to music.

Shows are every half hour, Monday - Friday 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday noon to 8:00 p.m. After 6:00 p.m. daily, shows are every 15 minuts until midnight.

I think it is best seen at night. Don't leave Vegas without seeing this show...it's a free must see!

I never tired of seeing the ever-changing Bellagio Fountains, either night or day. And to think that this beautiful sight/sound was FREE.

This sensory treat is a choreographed water spectacular where the fountains actually seem to "come alive" as they dance to different music.

HOURS OF OPERATION:

Monday-Friday
3:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
Show runs every 1/2 hour

8:00 p.m.-midnight
Show runs every 15 minutes

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays
12:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
Show every 1/2 hour

8:00 p.m.-midnight
Show every minutes

This water, music, and light show literally captivated me as it included complex choreography that seemed to dance right in front of the lovely Bellagio Hotel. Each presentation is unique and an "aquatic accomplishment". The music varies from classical, operatic, and Broadway songs.
There are about 1,000 fountains which rise as tall as 36 stories above the Las Vegas Strip!

Photo #1 was taken in the afternoon, and Photo #2 was taken about 8:30 at night.

One of the premier free attractions of Las Vegas, the famous fountain display is offered every 15 minutes, with lighting at night - joyous dancing fountains carefully choreographed to ever changing musical accompaniment ranging from Elton John to Christmas music and show tunes, Lee Greenwood, and classical music from Handel. The fountain was created by Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz of the California firm WET Design at a cost of $75 million and displayed first at the opening of this Steve Wynn hotel in October 1998.

The site is the 9 acre manmade lake fronting the hotel, where over 1200 nozzles direct water either in a circular pattern or to varying heights up to 240 ft high. Some shows include a fog machine as well. Environmentally correct, it uses water from a well previously irrigating a golf course, as much as 90% less. The fountain is a prime location for both proposals of marriage and weddings and has been featured in many movies and TV shows. The Bellagio Fountains are judged one of the most impressive water features in the world and many people stay to watch more than one show - we did.
