If you’re heading to Las Vegas, you’ll definitely have the Bellagio Fountains on your to-do list. And finding the best places to view the Bellagio Fountains is key!

The Bellagio Fountains are one of the most classic attractions in the city, and they don’t lose their magic (no matter how many time you’ve watched them!).

If you want to see the Bellagio Fountains in all their glory, with an incredible view, this list should give you plenty of ideas.

Quick tip! If you’re visiting Las Vegas, it’s definitely worth buying the Las Vegas Explorer Pass! It includes entrance to lots of different attractions in the city (and helps you skip the line in lots too!)


Curb-side at the fountains


The most obvious (and probably) the best place to view the Bellagio Fountains is curb side at the fountains themselves.

This is a totally free place to watch the Bellagio Fountains from, and it’s as easy as walking up to the Fountains and finding a good spot.

For the best views in the evening, you’ll want to get there quite early, before the showing. Don’t turn up here with 5 minutes to go, expecting to get a spot right at the front (it’s near impossible!).

For this to truly be the best place to view the Bellagio Fountains, you need to make sure you get there 15-20 minutes before the fountains start!

We’d also recommend enjoying the fountains from this spot at a couple of different times during the day – go in the daytime (when it’s quiet) and go in the evening for the full effect (but be aware it’ll get busier once the sun goes down).

This is definitely the best place to view the Fountains from (it’s free!) and it’s the most classic spot.

From the top of Eiffel Tower


Our next suggestion for the best place to view the Bellagio Fountains, it’s from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel tower is located inside the Paris Hotel, is directly opposite the Bellagio Hotel (and therefore has the perfect view of the Bellagio Fountains).

If you want to see the Bellagio Fountains from above, the top of the Eiffel Tower makes for a great place to view the Bellagio Fountains.

This view is pretty unobstructed too – which makes it a great candidate for the best place to view the Bellagio Fountains.

You can eat up there in the restaurant (the Eiffel Tower restaurant is also super romantic!) or you can go for the view in the observation deck – it depends how long you plan on spending up there!

Prime Steakhouse inside The Bellagio


Our next suggestion for the best place to view the Bellagio Fountains, is Prime Steakhouse. A beautiful lake-side restaurant inside the Bellagio Hotel.

Prime Steakhouse inside the Bellagio Hotel is a prime spot for watching the fountains (but make sure you ask for a table outside on the balcony!) or by the window, if you want to sit inside.

The food is seriously delicious (I recommend the crispy onions as a side order) and the vibe is really sophisticated and luxurious. It’s a perfect date night idea, and definitely one of the best places to view the Bellagio Fountains!

There’s no better time to enjoy the Bellagio Fountains than whilst enjoying a steak… you can’t get more ‘Las Vegas’ than that!
