Find out more in\u00a0<em>The Bellagio: Commercial Design from Greco-Roman Times<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a63b6cc3ed54d1891ffb5fab585d8eff wp-block-paragraph\">The Bellagio and its famous Fountains are another of these borrowed locations, inspired by the Italian town of the same name, and not always from this millennium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1c11242d8a4f07c5413d2fb39e63c896 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Careful Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7b23b2033cc4d2f79c396a7381cc1fb5 wp-block-paragraph\">The Bellagio\u2019s inspiration is specific. The designer, Connecticut real estate developer Steve Wynn, wanted to invoke Lake Como in Lombardy, Northern Italy. To that end, he made it an example of classical design, which most people recognise as Greco-Roman in origin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18c437e4052ec7eb259959da09002265 wp-block-paragraph\">It has a dual identity. The Chapter website describes it <a href=\"https:\/\/chapter.digital\/en\/learning-from-the-bellagio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as a prototype<\/a> of \u201ccommercially-oriented architecture\u201d, a product of careful planning and design. Even the lake is man-made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-627c18144398539012a0e2fb28e0bb07 wp-block-paragraph\">The Bellagio is world-renowned today thanks to its inclusion in media like Ocean&#8217;s Eleven (2001), Ocean&#8217;s Thirteen (2007), and Jason Bourne (2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-419eaf949b94a7fdf2ba9e02881bee3d wp-block-paragraph\">The site\u2019s 10,800m\u00b2 casino floor is the setting for a game on the Hippodrome Casino website &#8211; Bellagio Roulette, too.\u00a0This experience forms part of a &#8216;tour&#8217; of famous locations from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hippodromeonline.com\/live-casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">live casino UK<\/a> operator, alongside Live MGM Grand American Roulette and Live Hippodrome Roulette. In the latter case, the lobby provides access to the real-life tables in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-46ee480feb138779baa8e777224cac4a wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Water Show<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-36c4bf60a0413bee19ccb303df6e2f50 wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, the Bellagio\u2019s Fountains grant the building much of its fame. The website describes the Water Show, which runs every 30 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes at night, as &#8220;Our Calling Card, launching water up to 460ft into the air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-337477d006e4a1ef66f9796f3e05b6d8 wp-block-paragraph\">Considering Las Vegas was one of the driest places in the United States when The Strip opened in 1941, such a vast amount of water seems more opulent than anything else the Bellagio can throw together. Of course, there\u2019s more to see than just the outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/pexels-janeski-3636055.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/pexels-janeski-3636055.jpg?resize=580%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/pexels-janeski-3636055.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/pexels-janeski-3636055.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/pexels-janeski-3636055.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-37f56fcdce2f4f9f8120a41a6ead29f7 wp-block-paragraph\">The classical themes continue inside the Bellagio. The Conservatory is an interior garden with more fountains and themes that change year-round. It&#8217;s walled by arcades reminiscent of ancient aqueducts and arenas &#8211; and, indeed, any urban area founded by the Romans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-110bcaa12f52e6cb9353447b15a3c971 wp-block-paragraph\">In another example of classical inspiration, the bathrooms at the Bellagio are furnished in marble, while the gardens host the occasional green statue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6118afbf1d9bf090bd8350f601cea73d wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ancient Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-85e79243353be120b987b7225eedd01c wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors who dislike the toga can step away from this Greco-Roman time capsule. The Bellagio\u2019s Club Prive skirts the line between classy and kitsch with art deco-inspired details. Think purple and teal, combined with gigantic flowers and golden ornaments. It\u2019s not an easy thing to imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9b43cda17956dd625c9f5f010c110b4a wp-block-paragraph\">The nearly 4,000 rooms of the hotel offer a much more muted palette, favouring marble panelling and white walls. It\u2019s much closer to the \u2018classic\u2019 appearance of <em>opus caementicium<\/em> &#8211; or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/archaeology\/romans\/how-is-roman-concrete-still-standing-after-2-000-years\">Roman concrete<\/a>. The ever-present views of the Strip strike an odd balance between an electrified modern world and ancient ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-167ec8dc56514ddaf7a599995a55f96e wp-block-paragraph\">While going to casinos off The Strip is a popular choice for travellers (it\u2019s less crowded), the spectacle of casinos like the Bellagio is one of Las Vegas\u2019 biggest draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6b2a7900cc2d7286d55771bf7378e887 wp-block-paragraph\">.Cent Magazine London<strong>.
