The Fountains of Bellagio are a free musical water show at the Bellagio on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, set in an 8.5-acre man-made lake on the former site of the Dunes hotel-casino. Conceived by Steve Wynn and created by WET, they opened in 1998 and became one of Las Vegas’s defining sights and among the most photographed places in the United States. Built for $40 million, the attraction pairs music, light, and choreographed jets that can reach 460 feet. The lake also serves as an event stage, and the fountains have become a signature image woven into the Strip’s daily spectacle.
