Bellagio

This hotel was built at the highest expenses in the world. It seems to be worth having been spent on that tremendous amount of money. The entire building costs added up to more than one and a half billion dollars by October 1998 when the gem of Las Vegas opened. An enormous lake was created in front of the hotel with luxurious restaurants around it and if it were not enough the guests will be fascinated by a breathtaking water parade. In the evenings more than one thousand dancing fountains display a fountain show controlled by computer and choreographed to music and stunningly spectacular lights. The show almost constantly changes as its musical themes also do. There exists a choreography for almost all styles from the classical music to the up-to-date hits, for Luciano Pavarotti's voice likewise for Frank Sinatra's or Lionel Ritchie's songs. The sight is so fantastic that you remain rooted to the spot as admiring the perfectly choreographed water show with the hotel in the background. Sometimes the dancing fountains span the water beams as high as 70 metres. The show performance takes place every thirty minutes till 7 o'clock in the evening and then every fifteen minutes till midnight...
