Millions of people have stopped to watch the Bellagio hotel-casino's famous fountain show. In the early days, the Strip would often be closed in front of the hotel-casino because of crowds.
.The property opened on Oct. 15, 1998 and cost $1.6 billion. It set the bar for any other hotel-casino that came after it.
It was built by Steve Wynn and later bought by MGM Resorts International.
