Bellagio Fountains from the Eiffel Tower
One of the most famous sights on the Las Vegas strip has to be the Bellagio Fountains. Built at a cost of 10 million dollars it was one of the most striking visuals ever in a city known for it’s sensory overload. It’s one of my favorite sights to see and another on the “must see” list when you visit our fair city.
A little known trick is the best view of the fountain show is across the street. But you have to take an elevator for the view. What’s the elevator to you ask? Well it’s up to the observation deck in the Eiffel Tower replica. It’s only a few bucks but offers an awesome view of that part of the strip, including the fountains. Check out these pics:
It was pretty windy that day & if the wind is too high they don’t run the fountain show. They shot of a couple of test shots & figured it was ok. Lucky for me!
From up there you also have a great view of the Planet Hollywood, the HUGE CityCenter project (it really is massive and it’s still 2 years from being finished) and most of the middle strip. Like everything else in Las Vegas the view is better at night and both the fountain show and the tower run until midnight most nights, weather permitting.
