Free first: watching the fountains on your own
You can watch the fountains for free, no ticket needed. The Bellagio's own page says they are absolutely free for any visitor to enjoy.
The lake sits in front of the hotel, on the Strip. Stand back or find a spot to sit, as the Bellagio suggests.
A tour adds a ride and more sights, not a better view. For more, see our guide to free things to do in Las Vegas.
Bellagio fountain show times
The fountains run every afternoon and evening, says the Bellagio's own page. Shows come every 30 minutes, then every 15 minutes from 8 p.m.
The Bellagio says the schedule may vary. Shows can be called off because of the weather.
| Days | Every 30 minutes | Every 15 minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. | 8:00 p.m. to midnight |
| Saturday, Sunday and holidays | 12:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. | 8:00 p.m. to midnight |
The Bellagio fountain show: what you see
You see more than a thousand fountains dance to music and light. The display spans more than 1,000 feet, says the Bellagio.
Water shoots as high as 460 feet into the air. Each show is different, so it is worth seeing more than one.
Each show lasts about 3 to 5 minutes, travel guides list.
Do you need tickets?
No, the fountain show needs no ticket. The paid tours on this page add a ride, a guide or audio, and other stops.
Things to do at the Bellagio
Beyond the fountains, the Bellagio has a conservatory and an art gallery. Its site lists the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art.
The 6-hour guided night tour stops at the conservatory as well as the fountains.
The Cirque du Soleil show "O" plays at the Bellagio too, says its site.
Before you go to the fountains
Go after 8 p.m.
From 8 p.m. a show starts every 15 minutes, says the Bellagio. You wait less between shows.
Watch the weather
Shows can be called off because of the weather. On a windy night, keep your plan loose.
