About this audio guide
This guide to the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas begins with Steve Wynn at a microphone in October 1993, giving the signal that both launched Treasure Island next door and brought down the old Dunes hotel on the very land this lake now covers. It traces how that demolished casino site became eight and a half acres of water rigged with over a thousand nozzles and compressed-air cannons, built at a cost of some forty million dollars. The guide also turns to what the lake looked like from below the surface, on a night the water proved less gentle than the show suggests.
