Bellagio, Fountains of Bellagio: free, minus the pavement this autumn

Q: Do you pay to see the Fountains of Bellagio?

No. They are free for any visitor1, hotel guest or not; you pay only if you want a patio table.

Q: Are the fountains working during the Grand Prix build?

The closure hits the pavement and 2 southbound lanes2, and a guest wrote of the daily shows on 30 September13. Race nights are another matter: ask on 866.906.7171.

Q: What if it’s windy or it rains?

The display can be cancelled for weather1, so ring the concierge before you cross town for it.

Q: Can I reach Bellagio on foot with the pavement closed?

Hotel access stays open5. What goes is the walk along the lake front from Flamingo Road to Bellagio Drive4, so ask the concierge which way in suits your side of the Strip.

The Fountains of Bellagio cost nothing, but the pavement in front of them is gone: shut for the Grand Prix through 9 November, with the race after it, and again from 23 November into late December. You watch from the sides or from a table.
