| - The Fountains of Bellagio are a great source of entertainment on the Strip! We make it a point to stop and watch a few shows every time we come to Vegas. Rarely is it so crowded that one can't get a seat right on the water, but it does happen. The shows are either every 30-minutes or every 15-minutes depending on how late in the night it is (I believe the 15-minute shows are later in the evening). The music selection covers everything from Aaron Copeland's "Hoe Down", to "Hey Big Spender" from Sweet Charity, to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA", to Elvis' staple "Viva Las Vegas" and Old Blue Eyes' "New York, New York", to the incredible duet "Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)" by Andrea Bocceli and Sara Brightman. Personally, "Con Te Partiro" is my favorite. The music ebbs and flows elegantly and beautifully as the fountains dance along. The song itself is intensely beautiful and holds special memories for my brothers, friends, and I (it was the one show we couldn't get enough of on my 21st birthday, and sadly one of those friends has passed away since).
Watch one show or watch them all, you'll love it!
