Steve Wynn and the Bellagio

Developer Steve Wynn's Mirage Resorts built the Bellagio, which opened on October 15, 1998, on the Las Vegas Strip. The Bellagio was designed as a luxury resort inspired by an Italian lakeside village and introduced the Fountains of Bellagio water show. The project is widely cited as a transformative, high‑end development in late‑20th‑century Las Vegas resort history.
