Just so graceful and romantic. All the "posers" (we saw multiple Elvises [Elvi?]) on the adjacent sidewalk do not take away from the beauty of this experience.
Two bits of advice: There's no bad place to view the fountains, but the walkway up to the hotel can be quite crowded compared with watching Strip-side. You also get a great view from Mon Ami Gabi, the sidewalk cafe across the street at the Paris!
Also, read the January New Yorker article about the Fountains' designer. (Here's a link, but, unfortunately, you have to be a subscriber to read the whole thing.) Fascinating!
