The Fountains of Bellagio are one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. You’ve seen them on TV, in movies and even cartoons. The Fountains transcend pop cultural trends that phase out over a decade or two and instead has become one of the unofficial ambassadors of the city of Las Vegas, as identifiable as the strip itself and the Welcome to Vegas sign. Sadly, it is the last of the free shows Steve Wynn gave us while he was remaking the strip in his image. As beloved as it is, we have to prepare ourselves. Remember, especially in Vegas, everything has a shelf life. It is inevitable that this too shall pass.
Who knows what the future holds for the Fountains of Bellagio. One thing we do know is everything in Las Vegas has a shelf life. How long that will be is indeterminable at this time. So enjoy that last groundbreaking, free attraction from the mind of Steve Wynn still in operating condition in Las Vegas. An idea so great that many of Wynn’s other properties around the world also feature smaller versions of the fountains and the concept has been borrowed from all around the world.
