Its iconic Las Vegas hotel is world-famous for its daily fountain show on The Strip. Now, Bellagio is throwing open the doors of a sparkling new outpost in Shanghai
Bellagio Shanghai is the brand's first international location and will open on the banks of the Suzhou River, at the northern end of The Bund, the city's waterfront promenade, not far from one of the world's bustling shopping streets, Nanjing Road.
In a nod to its Las Vegas predecessor, images of the world-famous fountain will be shown on LED screens that line a four-storey atrium, for a mirage effect.

The water show had a starring role in the 2001 movie Ocean's Eleven, while the Bellagio itself was the main setting for Ocean's Thirteen, which was released in 2007.
The Art Deco-inspired hotel will feature 162 guest rooms and suites, ranging from 60 to 100 square metres, with top-end suites featuring private terraces, walk-in closets, marble bathrooms, BOSE stereos, and personal butlers.
High rollers in Shanghai can book the Presidential Suite, which spans 400 square meters and comes with its own home theatre.
Part five-star luxury hotel, part living art gallery, the resort is also filled with more than 1,000 art pieces that have been curated from around the world.
