History Of The Strip - Bellagio Hotel
he Bellagio Hotel is one of Las Vegas Strip's newest and most stunning hotels. Find out what this superbly attractive hotel has to offer its visitors.
The Bellagio is a world-famous hotel and casino which is located on the Las Vegas Strip, Nevada and is owned by MGM Mirage. The Bellagio is noted for its exquisite architecture and elegant exterior which makes it a true asset to the Las Vegas Strip's skyline.
Steve Wynn's company, Mirage Resorts Inc, conceived the idea of the hotel and purchased the land in the early 1990s. The land previously housed the Dunes Hotel which was demolished in 1993 to make way for the superbly impressive Bellagio. The Bellagio opened in October 1998 and at the time was the most expensive hotel ever built, having cost the investors a whopping $1.6 billion. The hotel currently features 3421 rooms and is inspired by the Lake Como resort in Bellagio, Italy.
One of the Bellagio's most noted features is a 32,000 square meter artificial lake located between the hotel and the Strip. The major attraction of the hotel is the stunning water fountain display which is offered free to the public at specific times of the day. The world-famous fountains offer a breath-taking combination of opera and classic music, choreographed lighting and water movement.
Ballagio's botanical garden is a true kaleidoscope to a visitor's senses. A guest will be able to enjoy the gorgeous gardens through a combination of sight, fragrance, texture and color. Exotic plants and flowers create a tapestry of nature and beauty that can be enjoyed by visitors throughout all four seasons.
