Venue Notes
About
The Bellagio is a large luxury hotel and casino situated on the Las Vegas Strip, built on the former site of the Dunes resort. It is known for its 8-acre artificial lake fronting Las Vegas Boulevard, which hosts a choreographed water fountain show, and its casino floor spanning approximately 116,000 square feet. The property also houses the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, multiple restaurants, and the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, a glass-domed atrium featuring rotating seasonal floral displays.
Established
Opened October 15, 1998
Arrival Strategy
A free tram connects Park MGM and Aria directly to the Bellagio's South Tower, running every seven to ten minutes and offering a convenient no-traffic alternative to walking the Strip. The property also offers self-parking and valet, though parking fees repeat every 24 hours and may be higher during special events.
On-Property Draw
On-site highlights include the free Conservatory & Botanical Gardens (which changes themes five times a year), the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, world-class restaurants such as Prime Steakhouse and Spago by Wolfgang Puck, and the Via Bellagio luxury shopping corridor featuring brands like Chanel, Gucci, and Prada. The Fountains of Bellagio — a free, choreographed water show on the 8.5-acre lake — performs every 15 to 30 minutes, seven days a week.
Local History
Bellagio became the first hotel-casino ever to win the AAA Five Diamond Award in 2001, and by 2010 had won ten consecutive Five Diamond Awards — the first Strip resort to reach that milestone.
Insider Tip
The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is free to enter and open around the clock — visiting at night means shorter crowds and a quieter look at the seasonal displays, which are maintained by a team of 125 people working 24 hours a day.

Nearby Experience
Bellagio Las Vegas
Classic free Strip spectacle with a bigger payoff once the sun drops and the crowd energy picks up.
Easy add-on when the event already keeps you central Strip and you want something unmistakably Vegas.

Strip
A stronger fit for central and south-Strip groups that want a deliberate side mission instead of another generic attraction.
Makes sense when the plan is already built around adventure energy, not when the night should stay on-property.

Nearby Experience
Wynn / Encore
A polished Wynn-only spectacle that feels more tucked away than the bigger Strip tourist magnets.
Best when you want a quieter post-dinner or post-show detour that still feels distinctly Vegas.
