The 30-story luxury resort, Bellagio--inspired by the Lake Como resort in Italy.  The Bellagio now sits where the once famous Dunes Hotel was located.  The Fountains of Bellagio have become world-famous and are choreographed to light and music--ranging from Classical to Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley.

The Fountains of Bellagio are part of an 8-acre lake; shows run every 15-minutes from 8 P.M. to Midnight.  Before a show, the fountain nozzles break the surface and the building turns a purple-hue. 

The original concept for Bellagio was named "Beau Rivage"--a resort located on an island in a large man-made lake.  The Bellagio, like many of the hotels on the Strip, was built by Steve Wynn.  At the time the Bellagio opened (October 15, 1998 just before 11:00 P.M.), it was the most expensive hotel ever built at $1.6 billion.

Covering 2,000 square feet of the lobby's ceiling, Dale Chihuly's Fiori di Corno is comprised of more than 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers.

Two weeks later, the rain tree was purple (as in, Purple Rain?).  Photo taken October 30, 2010. 

The Bellagio conservatory and botanic garden displays are changed five-times a year to reflect the change of the seasons as well as the Chinese New Year.  This scene is for the Fall; in the foreground is a 751 lb pumpkin!

For Spring 2011, the Conservatory was ablaze of color with this Ferris Wheel demanding first attention!

The section of Las Vegas Blvd in front of the Bellagio is probably the most loveliest on the Strip--loaded with large shade trees.
