Bellagio Hotel and Casino
Arguably the most well-known hotel and casino on the strip, the Bellagio was the most expensive hotel ever built when it opened in 1998, costing a record-breaking $1.6 billion. It's probably most well known for it's choreographed fountain display that features in heist movie,Ocean's 11. The performances take place in front of the hotel and arecompletely free to watch. The best time to watch a display is at night, when the colours of the lights and the spraying water itself is more prominent against the dark night sky.The show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings and every 15 minutes from 8pm to midnight. Two minutes before a water show starts, the nozzles begin to break the water surface and the lights illuminating the hotel turn purple, red, white and blue. The fountains cost $40 million to build and are set in an 8-acre artificiallake that is serviced by a freshwater well that was drilled decades prior to irrigate a golf course that previously existed on the site. Not many people know that. They incorporate a network of pipes with more than 1,200 nozzles, with some that send a water blast as high as 460 feet. Pretty impressive, don't you think?Despite brand new hotels going up and around the Strip all the time, the Bellagio has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most elegant. Built on the site of the demolished Dunes hotel and casino, it boasts 3,950 rooms, a total gaming space of 116,000 square feet and two Michelin star-winning restaurants. Like every hotel in Las Vegas, room prices vary all the time, depending on day of the week and season.
