Fountains of Bellagio

How the famous show actually works

The page's anchor film goes underneath the fountains with the divers and engineers who keep the show running: roughly 5,000 lights and more than 1,200 water shooters in the 8.5-acre lake, serviced by divers working the grid below the surface. It's the context that makes every other film here better — after it, you watch the water differently.

Tiesto - Bellagio Fountains, Las Vegas

Bellagio Las Vegas

The Bellagio's own film of a fountain performance set to Tiësto's 'Footprints', the track the DJ created for the show. No narration, just the full choreography of water, light and electronic music on the lake. An official, pristine record of one of the show's signature modern productions.

[4K] Bellagio Fountain Water Show at Night - Las Vegas Strip Best Attraction & Vacation Travel Guide

Wind Walk Travel Videos ʬ

A straight 4K film of the Fountains of Bellagio at night, shot from the rail: one complete show with the water at full height against the Strip lights. No commentary, no cuts away. The pure spectacle version of the page's subject.

The show itself

Three films are the performance, pure and official-grade: the Bellagio's own film of a show set to Tiësto's 'Footprints', the track the DJ created for the fountains; a straight 4K night show from the rail, one complete performance at full height against the Strip lights; and the classic closer — a complete 2013 performance of 'Time to Say Goodbye', the Bocelli recording that has ended fountain shows for decades. The choreography's bones have barely changed since; the productions around it keep growing.

The specials shelf

The 25th-anniversary show (2024) — new choreography and music with Andrea Bocelli and Ed Sheeran, filmed through the crowd's reactions as much as the water
Disney × Formula 1 (November 2025) — a one-off race-week production with projection and fireworks the regular rotation never uses; it ran only for that event
Game of Thrones (2019) — the lake performing to the series theme with fire on the water for the final season. Archival, not current rotation — kept because it remains one of the most-watched fountain productions ever filmed

Sources: the seven videos on this page — a behind-the-scenes engineering film, three full performances, and three specials (anniversary, race-week one-off, and a 2019 archival production) — summarized from their entries in our catalog.

wdwmagic

A special one-off fountain production from November 2025, when the Bellagio staged a Disney-and-Formula 1 themed 'Fantasmic!'-style show on the lake during race week. Water, projection and fireworks in a configuration the regular rotation never uses. A document of a show that ran only for that event.

Game of Thrones Comes to Life on the Fountains of Bellagio

MGM RESORTS

The Game of Thrones fountain show, staged in 2019 for the series' final season: the lake performing to the show's theme with fire on the water. It is an archival special, not part of the current rotation, kept here because it remains one of the most-watched fountain productions ever filmed.
