Travel on foot and watch the show from behind the fence along the sidewalk.
The show takes place every half hour on the half hour from 3:00 to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday and from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm Saturday and Sunday. During the busier times of the year, the show takes place every 15 minutes.
See an aerial version of the show by buying tickets to the Eiffel tower, around $10 a ticket. Wait at the top for the show. This is especially magnificent after dark, when the cool breeze is blowing. The sounds and the sights of the dancing waters from atop the Eiffel Tower will live in your memory.
Watch the dancing waters from Bellagio's very own Le Cirque, a fabulous upscale restaurant. The dining prices are well over $100, depending on what you order. The restaurant has a view of the lake where the water show will be. If you time it right, you can see six shows or more, depending on how fast you eat, each with unique music, from Classical to Sinatra to Broadway.
Move your dining across the street and go to the Paris Eiffel Tower Restaurant. It rises above the strip 11 floors to give a dazzling view of the Bellagio Fountains. The food is pricey but the quality of both service and food make the $100 or more per plate well worth it. Again, you can see several water shows while you eat. Each one will be different.
Enjoy a more casual upscale restaurant by dining Circo, also in the Bellagio. The view of the fountains is spectacular. The cost is actually a little more, with the average price running over $150 per person.
View the show as much as possible by renting a suite or a room at either the Bellagio or a hotel close by with a view of the show. Have fine dining in your room as you watch the show comfortably from your window.
