Film history

The Fountains of Bellagio as seen from the Paris Las Vegas hotel, across the strip from the Bellagio

• The Bellagio and its fountains are featured in the 2007 film Lucky You.

• In the 2007 film Ocean's Thirteen, following Ocean's Twelve (2004), and Ocean's Eleven (2001), Daniel Ocean (played by George Clooney) is talking about The Dunes Hotel (which was situated on the same place before the Bellagio was built) while he is standing in front of the Fountains of Bellagio together with Rusty Ryan (played by Brad Pitt).

• Bellagio was featured prominently in the film Ocean's Eleven. The curved staircase that Tess Ocean (played by Julia Roberts) descended was removed during a 2006 remodel to accommodate the entrance pathway from a newly built hotel tower, called The Spa Tower. New shops and restaurants fill the space. The vault for the three casinos that were robbed (MGM Grand, Mirage, and Bellagio) owned by Terry Benedict (played by Andy Garcia) was located beneath the Bellagio.

The Fountains are set in an eight-acre man-made lake, filled with treated greywater from the hotel[2]. They incorporate an array of underwater pipes with over 1,200 nozzles that makes it possible to stage fountain displays coordinated with over 4,500 lights. It is estimated that the fountains cost $50 million to build. Greywater, sometimes spelled graywater, grey water or gray water and also known as sullage, is non-industrial wastewater generated from domestic processes such as washing dishes, laundry and bathing. ...

Three types of nozzles are used for the various effects:

• "Oarsmans" - Swing back and forth to create dancing water

• "Shooters" - Shoots water upwards

• "Super Shooters" - Sends a water blast as high as 250 ft (76 m) in the air.

The Fountains were created by WET Design, who specializes in creating intricate water shows.
