In a place where money is everything, there are few things left in sin city that are actually free, without consequence. Free casino cocktails are courtesy of losing wages, complimentary rooms are through earned player points, and the pirate show at Treasure Island ... ought to pay it's spectators for being the cheesiest reoccurring show on the strip. The Fountains of the Bellagio on the other hand, are about as good as free gets.\n\nFor those not in the know, these fountains provide a water show of synchronized streams of water pulsating to a random song two times an hour and four times an hour after 8PM. The best time to watch is at night as the light beams emanating from each stream provide a real spectacle not to be missed.\n\nThese fountains don't discriminate. Everyone is allowed to watch. Crowds aren't really regulated and each show features different songs. Each are unique, fun, and beautiful. It has become synonymous with the Bellagio and dare I say more popular than some of the live Broadway-like shows up and down LV Boulevard.\n\nThere are shows all around the world that do something similar, be it in a mall or even at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. But few have a place in my heart like the Fountains of the Bellagio, easily the best outdoor show on the strip.
