Fountains of Bellagio

The Las Vegas strip with the fountains of the Bellagio leaping into the air photographed at dusk.

With a backdrop of Tuscan-style architecture, the Bellagio faux Lake Como and dancing fountains are the antithesis of the Mojave Desert – although the resort does use reclaimed water. The fountain show’s recorded soundtrack varies, so cross your fingers that it will be Italian opera or ol’ Blue Eyes crooning "Luck Be a Lady," instead of top 40.
