The Bellagio fountains are once again about to have a transformation with the Super Bowl getting closer to being in town.
Tourists in the area had to deal with months of not being able to access the water fountain show with the F1 event being in town and everything being built for months to get it ready. The famed shade trees were even cut down.
Now, the access to it is getting ready to be cut off yet again because of the NFL.
The NFL, CBS, and Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee revealed new renderings to Clark County Commissioners this week of how Allegiant Stadium, Bellagio Hotel & Casino, and other parts of the Strip will change in appearance that will start in January.
The Bellagio Fountains will see platforms built over, which was the same thing that happened for the NFL Draft. The platforms being built will have a week’s worth of television production.

Patty Power, CBS executive vice president of operations and engineering, calls it “the center point” of thousands of hours of live television leading up to and after the game.
“CBS Entertainment will have The Talk during the week, as well as Entertainment Tonight and The Drew Barrymore Show,” Power said, listing some of the 18 shows scheduled to film across four temporary platforms.
For the locals and tourists, the installations will cause two lane closures closest to the Bellagio Fountains on Las Vegas Boulevard.
