Bellagio Hotel & Casino is a resort on the Las Vegas Strip, at 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd. Its fountains dance to music across the lake outside, while inside, the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens display changing seasonal arrangements and Dale Chihuly’s glass flowers hang in the lobby. You can also visit the casino, art gallery, shops, restaurants and pool area without staying overnight. For a room, choose a fountain view for the evening show; expect a busy resort, with casino and hotel areas drawing crowds throughout the day and night.
The fountains and the lake
The fountains outside Bellagio are among the resort’s defining sights. Water jets move in time with music across the lake in front of the hotel, with light adding to the evening displays. You can watch from the Strip or, if you book a room with a fountain view, from your window.
The show draws crowds, and the resort itself stays busy. If you prefer a little more space, plan your stop for an off-peak time or a weekday. The fountains are a reason to visit even if you are not staying at the hotel.
The Conservatory and lobby art
Inside, the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens feature displays that change with the seasons. Horticulturalists arrange flowers and plants into large installations, with themes inspired by events and subjects such as Chinese New Year, fashion and aquatic life. The displays are free to see.
In the lobby, look up for Dale Chihuly’s glass installation, made up of more than 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers. The hotel also has a gallery of fine art, so there are several places to pause beyond the casino and shops.
Staying at Bellagio
Bellagio combines hotel rooms and suites with a casino, restaurants, two coffee shops, designer shopping, a spa and an outdoor pool area. Its Strip location makes it convenient for exploring nearby hotels and attractions, with walkways connecting to shopping areas at Vdara and the Cosmopolitan. The resort is also close to Caesars Palace.
Room views vary. Fountain-facing rooms give you a view of the water show, while city-facing rooms look over the surrounding skyline. If you want a quieter room, avoid one facing the fountains. In-room refreshments can be expensive, so consider bringing snacks or drinks if you want to keep those costs down.
