The Fountains of Bellagio are sited in an eight-acre
lake located in front of the Bellagio Hotel. The idea
and character for the fountain were conceived by Mr.
Steve Wynn, Chairman of Mirage Resorts, who commissioned
WET Design to realize his objectives for the fountain's
site.
The Project took form in the summer of 1995, when Mr.
Wynn, together with Mark Fuller and Claire Kahn of WET
Design, determined the feature's essential character.
Among the Project's objectives was the concept of
creating a work that would be vibrantly kinetic and
elating for visitors, while expressing the romantic
spirit of Bellagio.
The result of the collaboration between Mr. Wynn and the
WET Design team is the most ambitious water feature ever
conceived in terms of choreographic complexity and
scale.
Located within the lake and spanning 1,000 feet in
length is an array of over 1,000 water expressions and
over 4,000 individually programmed white lights. And
that is where Jeannette Specialty Glass comes into
play. With our distinctively durable glass lenses, WET
Design and our team of glass specialists joined forces
to create a Fresnel lens that would enhance the
reflections of the white lights to create an
unforgettable effect.
The borosilicate formulation and angle of our lens
composition allows optimum reflections to be produced for this
masterpiece. As our lenses enhance the aesthetics of the
Bellagio Fountains, they are also strong and durable enough to
take the constant heat of the light fixtures and the coolness of
the water by being thermal shock resistant. Jeannette
Specialty Glass's special borosilicate formulation makes all
of our glass lenses and products ideal for a variety of custom
design and commercial projects. The simplicity of the layout of
water elements and the variety of vertical water expressions
available in the fountain allow for breadth and variety in the
fountain's kinetics. The result is a rich and dynamic collection
of performances in water, each unique and expressive.
