Restaurants With a View of the Bellagio Fountains

Key Points:

Restaurants at Bellagio itself will have the best fountain views, but they’ll come with a hefty price tag.

My favorite perch to enjoy a meal/drink and watch the fountains is Beer Park, across the street at Paris.

A new addition to the block, Ole Red has a rooftop bar with a great vantage point.

The Fountains of Bellagio rank among the most iconic attractions in Las Vegas and are instantly recognizable to anyone with a pulse.

Dancing to a selection of over 20 songs that span various genres, no performance is identical to the last, and it makes sense to grab a bite at a restaurant with a fountain view to make the most of the popular freebie.

I thought it’d be fun to detail which restaurants at Bellagio & nearby have a view, and there’s a good variety.

It may be obvious, but I recommend making reservations in advance to ensure the best view. Not all seating options are created equal, and some restaurants charge for the best seating.

Bellagio Restaurants With a Fountain View

Bellagio has expertly leveraged its feature attraction, positioning a good number of restaurants around the Strip-side lagoon.

Those restaurants serve a wide-ranging assortment of cuisine with various influences that include Japanese, Chinese, French/Spanish, and traditional American fare.

As you may expect, pricing at Bellagio’s assortment of restaurants may shock the budget-conscious among us. I recommend scoping out the menu (which will be linked to) before visiting.

Prime Steakhouse: Situated on Bellagio’s man-made lake with patio views of the fountains, Prime is a high-end steakhouse that serves a collection of steak and seafood.

Guests can expect to pay $80 and up for a steak, while non-steak entrees can be had for $50 and up. The dress code is business casual, and men are encouraged to wear a jacket.

Spago: A Wolfgang Puck restaurant, Spago offers spectacular views of the Bellagio Fountains with patio seating so close that mist can be felt.

Spago serves a collection of pasta, steaks, seafood, and other “California-inspired” dishes. You can expect to pay between $50 – $90 for most entrees, although more expensive options exist.

Lago: Chef Serrano focuses on small plates with an Italian influence, all with a view of the Fountains of Bellagio.

Steak and seafood options land in the $40 – $100 range, and most pasta and pizza selections cost $30-$60.

The Mayfair Supper Club: Serving a “Classic Take” on American fare with a view of the Bellagio Fountains, the typical entree at The Mayfair Supper Club will run $50 – $70, although the 40 oz. Dry-Aged Tomahawk will cost you $275.

As a supper club, Mayfair also entertains nightly alongside your meal.

Picasso: Chief Chef Julian Serrano serves up Spanish and French-inspired cuisine while also boasting an impressive European wine collection.

As a high-end restaurant, Ladies are encouraged to dress elegantly and men are encouraged to wear a jacket although they are not required.

Most importantly, Picasso overlooks the Bellagio Fountains and offers outdoor patio seating.

Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge: Overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio, Yellowtail offers Japanese fare in the form of rolls, sushi, and shared plates.

Yellowtail also has an outdoor patio that overlooks the fountains which is worth the wait.

Other Restaurants With a View of the Bellagio Fountains

Eiffel Tower Restaurant: The Eiffel Tower Restaurant is perched halfway up the replica Eiffel at Paris, just across the street from Bellagio.

Seats next to the windows that offer the best views carry an additional fee of $40 per person and are reservable when making reservations.

Entrees at the Eiffel Tower restaurant range from $35 – $80 on average.

Ole Red: A newer addition to the scene in front of Horseshoe, Ole Red offers free live music and one heck of a good view of the Fountains of Bellagio across the street.

A 16 oz. can of beer recently set me back $13 pre-tax & tip, but I think it was worth it.

Bottled Blonde: Situated about 5 big steps away from Ole Red at Horseshoe, Bottled Blonde is also a new venue with a rooftop view of Bellagio’s Fountains.

Domestic beers are going to set you back just over $10 each, cocktails are $18, and a burger & fries lands in the mid $20s.

Alexxa’s: Another restaurant with a patio across the street from Bellagio, offering views of the fountains, though slightly obstructed by trees.

Alexxa’s is slightly cheaper than the other restaurants on this list with the typical entree costing between $20 for a burger and just over $50 for the 16 oz Grilled Rib Eye.

Mon Ami Gabi: Steps away from Alexxa’s, Mon Ami Gabi’s front patio also offers views of the Bellagio fountains across the street. The average entree at Mon Ami will set you back about $30, and there is a burger and fries offered for under $20.

Patio seating with a fountain view is first-come, first-served, so I recommend checking it out at non-peak times to limit your wait.

Beer Park: Perched atop Paris’ rooftop, Beer Park offers one of my favorite fountain views at a manageable price point if eating.

Get a seat on the rail overlooking the Strip (which also allows for great people-watching) and order up a burger or sandwich for under $20.

Cabo Wabo Cantina: Calling the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood home, parts of Cabo Wabo’s outdoor patio have a great fountain view.

Giada: Located on the second floor of The Vanderpump Hotel (formerly Cromwell), Giada’s window seats offer a great view of the Bellagio Fountains.

You’ll want to reserve a window seat in advance, which requires a $125 minimum spend per person. That said, they’ll seat you along the windows on a first-come, first-served basis during non-peak times.

Pasta entrees at Giada cost about $30, while meats range from $40 for chicken to the low $120’s for a 28 oz. Bone-in Tuscan Rib Eye.
