The fountains are a great sight to visit while you are in Vegas. The timing and music along with the lights make this a must see. You can watch from on the strip or from one of the walking bridges going over Las Vegas Blvd. The best view is from the strip however.

The Bellagio is beautiful building in and of itself but the dancing fountains are what put it over the top. They dance to music and the music changes from show to show all of it appropriate. This is a very romantic spot and worth seeing.

This site is best seen at night as the fountains light up. Watching the fountains is like watching firecrackers. While music is played, the fountains dance by shooting straight into the air or waving back and forth. We saw the fountains perform to "Luck be a Lady Tonight" by Frank Sinatra. It was awesome to see during the climax, the fountains shoot what looked like the height of the hotel. The sounds of the fountains shooting was also very cool and sounded like fireworks. We saw this show twice, once from the ground and once from the Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel and Casino. Both views were spectacular and both views should be seen!

I did not stay at the Bellagio because it is very expensive. Even though I was not a staying guest, I took a tour of the hotel lobbies and the grounds. This is a must see while in Vegas. It is a gorgeous hotel. The best part is the fountains out front. It’s best to see it at night and you should stay for more than one show.

The fountains project water to the tune of the music so it can be slow or fast and have different patters as it flows nicely with the song. The reason I say to stay for more than one show is because they play different songs. You will not believe the size of this fountain until you see it for yourself. It seriously looks like a lake in front of this massive hotel. Every 15 to 30 minutes the whole lake comes alive as water starts shooting far up into the air and is just breathe taking.

I grabbed the show times from their website:

Monday - Friday
3pm - 8pm
show every 1/2 hour
8pm - 12am
show every 15 minutes

Saturday and Sunday
12pm - 8pm
show every 1/2 hour
8pm - 12am
show every 15 minutes

Who knew that water could look so cool? I wish I had realized how impressive this fountain was earlier - I would have planned more opportunities to stop by and see the show.

During the week, there are shows every half hour beginning at three (noon on the weekends), and every night, starting at 8pm, they run one show every fifteen minutes until midnight. The shows might be delayed or postponed when the wind is strong, but trust me, it's worth waiting for!

The show is set in rhythm to one of thirty or so classic Vegas songs. As the music players, the jets spray water up to 200 feet in the air, and really make it dance. I didn't know it was possible, but it's true. The lighting that's turned on at night makes me most highly recommend an after-dark viewing for the best effect.

We got to the Bellagio early enough to get a good spot along the railing - this made us feel a bit more "Ocean's 11". However, a close-up spot isn't strictly necessary, since, like everything else on the strip, the fountains are huge - set in an eight acre lake that's viewable from space!
