Attractions
The Fountains of Bellagio
Every evening, a water and music show plays again and again in
the spectacular fountains filling the quarter-mile-long lake in
front of the Bellagio. The free show runs every 15 minutes or
every half-hour, depending on the time of year. The fountains'
pattern, which varies with the season, is choreographed to a
number of different pieces of songs, which last between five and
10 minutes.
Eiffel Tower Experience
A ride to the top of this Eiffel Tower will literally take your
breath away, unless traveling up the center of the tower at 340
feet per minute pushed up against the door of a glass elevator
doesn't bother you. So, acrophobes and the faint of heart
beware! The replica stands 540 feet, about half the 1,051 feet
of the original. It also offers the posh Eiffel Tower
Restaurant, which is by reservation only.
IMAX Theatre
The first of its kind to open in Las Vegas, the Luxor IMAX
Theatre features a 7-story screen as well as 30,000 watts of
sound distributed across six sets of speakers throughout the
theater.
Star Trek: The Experience
Home to two exciting attractions, Klingon
Encounter and BORG Invasion 4D, Star Trek: The Experience
provides visitors with a very realistic experience through
the use of live interaction and motion simulators. Some may
even say chillingly realistic.
Ethel M Chocolate Factory & Botanical
Cactus Garden
Home of gourmet chocolate and beautiful
greenery, Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Garden
is located right off the Vegas strip on the way to
Hoover Dam. Built in 1981 in tribute of
Forrest Mar's mother Ethel, this Chocolate Factory takes Ethel's
family recipes and combines them with fruits and nuts to form
top-dollar gourmet candies. Tour the factory and see how it
happens!
You can also walk through the Botanical Cactus Garden
of over 350 species of cacti and other desert plants. Be amazed
by the Living Machine, a water treatment plant that is totally
natural; the cleansing is performed by a waste-consuming ecology
of snails, plants and other aquatic life.
