The Fountains of Bellagio are one of the most iconic attractions in Las Vegas.
The free Las Vegas show weaves together lights, water, and music in front of Bellagio mesmerizes thousands of visitors a day, and Bellagio touts the show as “the most ambitious, choreographically complex water feature ever conceived.”

Hardcore Game of Thrones fans will love spotting the Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the four-minute show as well as special appearances by The Knight King and Viserion.
History of the Fountains of Bellagio Attraction

View of the Bellagio fountains in Vegas
The entire performance spans more than 1000 feet giving viewers an excellent performance from nearly anywhere in front of the Bellagio Fountains. Travelers by car on Las Vegas Boulevard can also enjoy the show as it is common to be stuck in traffic on this part of the strip.
The fountains were created in collaboration with WET Design on the 8.5-acre lake in front of Bellagio on the Las Vegas Strip in 1993, the year of the hotel opening. WET Design also created the famous Mirage Volcano and the elegant water features for the Aria hotel.
A specialized staff of 30 people works every day of the year to clean, service, and maintain the iconic fountain attraction.
