Very late review for this iconic Vegas attraction. Hubs and I were actually just walking by the place when it went off, and we had to stop to look because it was just that gorgeous. I agree with a previous reviewer that dusk is the nicest time to experience it. Only two downsides to our visit here - it wasn't long enough (which goes without saying - who wouldn't like more of this beauty?!!??), and it was kind of crowded at the prime viewing spots, which necessitated us to have to walk around the fountain to try and get a good look. This wouldn't have been so bad, except that we ended up somewhere in the middle of the street and had to dodge incoming and outgoing traffic at one point. Not cool. Vegas streets scare me. :p
I'm not sure that I would book at the Bellagio strictly for this reason, but they sure do have a nice perk for visitors to watch. Very pretty, indeed.
