Bellagio Fountains
The Bellagio Fountains opened alongside the resort itself in 1998, designed by WET Design, the same firm behind numerous other major water-feature installations worldwide, and built into an eight-acre man-made lake directly in front of the hotel along the Las Vegas Strip. The choreographed water show synchronizes more than 1,200 individual water jets — some launching water over 460 feet into the air — to a rotating library of musical scores ranging from classical pieces to pop songs and Broadway numbers, with shows running at regular intervals throughout the day and evening entirely free to watch from the sidewalk. The fountains were built using a technology WET Design specifically engineered for the project, called the "oarsman," a piston-actuated mechanism capable of producing more precise and dynamic water movements synchronized to music than earlier fountain technologies could achieve. For a Las Vegas attractions list, the Bellagio Fountains are the essential "the free show everyone stops for" entry — a 1998 eight-acre water installation whose musically choreographed jets have become one of the most photographed free spectacles anywhere on the Strip.
VS
Fremont Street Experience
Fremont Street Experience opened in 1995, built by covering five blocks of downtown Las Vegas's original casino corridor with a massive barrel-vaulted steel canopy, converting what had been an open street into a pedestrian mall specifically to help downtown Las Vegas compete with the newer, larger resorts that had begun drawing tourists away toward the Strip. The canopy itself doubles as an enormous LED video screen, one of the largest in the world at the time of its various upgrades, running synchronized light and music shows nightly above the heads of pedestrians walking the historic street below. Fremont Street sits in the heart of what's now branded as the Fremont East and downtown gaming district, home to some of the oldest continuously operating casinos in Las Vegas history, giving the area a genuinely different, more vintage character than the newer mega-resorts further south on the Strip. For a Las Vegas attractions list, Fremont Street Experience is the essential "old Vegas under a light show" entry — a 1995 pedestrian canopy built to keep downtown's original casino corridor relevant, now topped by one of the largest video screens in the world.
