Bellagio Hotel Casino Big Fountain - United Stated

Bellagio Hotel Casino Big Fountain

The Fountains of Bellagio, created by WET Design,? comprise the most ambitious water feature ever conceived in terms of choreography, complexity and scale. The Fountains of Bellagio express the romantic spirit of the Resort. More than a thousand fountains perform in front of the Hotel, creating a breathtaking union of water, music and light. The display spans more than 1,000 feet, with water soaring as high as 240 feet in the air. The fountains are choreographed to music ranging from classical and operatic pieces to songs from Broadway shows. Performances range from delicate and whimsical to grand and commanding, and each performance is uniquely expressive in its interpretation.

The razzle-dazzle of Vegas is on full display at the many resorts. Wherever you turn in this town, you’ll find crowd-pleasing wonders. Read on to find out the best views for each over-the-top display—and which shows get crowded quickly. By Fodor's Editors

Las Vegas, Nevada is rapidly becoming known as the city of fountains here in the United States. I am not quite sure why a resort in the middle of the desert is going so hog wild for these water features. Especially since they are so short of water in Las Vegas that they pay residents to take up grass on their lawns and plant rocks instead.

The town of Las Vegas is negotiating with other areas in northern Nevada and even other states for water rights. Like Phoenix did they want to build canals to bring water to their fountains, and swimming pools, and golf courses and sidewalk misters. Heaven forbid that people visiting the desert should get hot and dry.

The Bellagio and Caesars Forum, two of the big fountain owners, say that the fountains use recycled water and ergo don't waste this precious resource in a town without it. Evaporation they say is negligible. Which brings me to my little fountain inside my studio in the mountains of New Mexico.
