Best place to view fountain show--times????

Where is the best place to view the fountain show. I am thinking of the Mon Ami Gab (having late night french onion soup on patio) or using 1/2 tickets to top of eiffel tower. Any other suggestions????? Does anyone know what the current schedule is????

Best place is from a Deluxe Lakeview room in Bellagio itself with the soundtrack on your TV... :-)





Failing that you can%26#39;t beat the sidewalk outside the hotel in my opinion. Way better than Mon Ami Gabi, Eiffel Tower or any of the Bellagio restaurants.





The Bellagio website lists the current pieces of music that are played but there%26#39;s no schedule as such. Other than the Star Spangled Banner at the last show of the day it%26#39;s pretty much random what you%26#39;ll hear.

Best place in on the sidewalk along LVB. You don%26#39;t only see the show from there, you feel it.




I agree with the other posters. Looking at the fountains from a distance is not the same as watching them from the sidewalk where the fountains are right there in front of you. Be sure to see them at night rather than during the day. They are much more dramatic in the dark.




I%26#39;ve seen it from many different perspectives over the last several years and my favorite is from the Las Vegas Blvd sidewalk in front of the Bellagio. If I wanted to watch them while eating (I%26#39;d rather enjoy my meal separatley and watch the fountains from the sidewalk though) I%26#39;d do it from a Bellagio restaurant and not from a Paris Restaurant (no street or people between you.) I had a great time on the patio at Yellowtail.




I also think that the best place is front center of the fountain on the sidewalk. I think you can appreciate just how high the water goes from that point. I%26#39;ve enjoyed seeing it from the rooms I%26#39;ve had at Paris but I still think the sidewalk is the best place.




Pavement in front of the fountains is best. We ate in Picasso (a Bellagio restaurent) a few years ago and when we finished our meal they let us go out onto thier balconey area to watch the fountains which was pretty spectacular. However, when we went to same restuarent last year they wouldn%26#39;t let us out there and we were really dissapointed.








The Mon Ami is not really a very good place to see the fountains. The shrubs have grown up and are in the way. The sidewalk is good. You can take a tour of the Effeil Tower at Paris and get a great view. One time we have a strip facing room at Flamingo on a high floor. That was a great view; however, you can%26#39;t hear the music so that isn%26#39;t the only way you%26#39;d want to view the fountains. Just a nice side touch. Have fun!



PS--See the conservatory, or flower room, while you are there. I think it%26#39;s as wonderful as the fountains.




I second the doubleheader approach - see the Bellagio Conservatory then the fountain show from the Bellagio side. Just a quick walk out the lobby and across the valet. You%26#39;re close to the fountains and you have Planet Hollywood and Paris in the background, particularly nice at night. Good audio too, to me that%26#39;s a lot of the attraction of this ';attraction';.





Bring your camera, tripod, put the camera on ';night setting'; and you%26#39;re good to go.





Don%26#39;t know that I%26#39;ve ever waited on the LV Boulevard sidewalk for the show so no direct comparison. Seen it many times driving by of course.




Thanks for all your help. I will definately see the fountain show from the sidewalk and after we check out the conservatory from the other side. Never realized being close would make a difference in the experience!!!!!





Has anyone ever been to the Fontana Bar in the Belliago??? I just saw it on the website and it looks like an awesome place.




We were just there a few days ago. The posted schedule for the Bellagio Fountains is as follows:



Monday-Friday 3pm-7pm every 30 minutes



Monday-Friday 7pm-12 midnight every 15 minutes



Sat, Sun, holidays 12 noon-7pm every 30 min.



Sat, Sun, holidays 7pm-12 midnight every 15 minutes





We saw the show from three different places--street side, standing near front entrance(as described above) to Bellagio facing out to Paris, and we also timed our trip up the Eiffel tower so we could see the show at night from up there. My wife liked the view from Eiffel the best, I liked being very close on the entrance side because you experience the %26#39;explosions%26#39; of the water, hear the music and get some spray on you. Don%26#39;t do Mon Ami Gabi, you have to look through 2 rows of trees and have lots of street traffic, both cars and pedestrians going by.
