Listen up, y’all, let me tell ya ’bout them Bellagio Grandstands. I ain’t no fancy writer, so I’m just gonna tell it like it is, ya hear?
So, these grandstands, they ain’t there for no good reason. They put ’em up for them racin’ cars, them Formula One fellas. Someone told me, a fella workin’ there, wearin’ a fancy red coat, said they gonna be there a long, long time. Ten years, he said! Ten years of them cars zoomin’ around. Can you believe it? That’s a whole lotta racin’.
- Grandstands are temporary: They ain’t permanent, but ten years ain’t exactly short neither.
- Contract with MGM and F1: Big shots made a deal, so them grandstands ain’t goin’ nowhere anytime soon.
- Annual races: They gonna be racin’ every year, so get used to them grandstands.
Now, if you wanna see them fancy fountains at the Bellagio, you gotta fight the crowds. It’s a mess, I tell ya. Everybody and their grandma wanna see them fountains. You gotta get there early, stake out your spot right up front, against the railin’. That’s the best place, right in front of the Bellagio. But good luck findin’ a spot, it’s always packed like sardines in a can. Folks pushin’ and shovin’, it’s a real zoo out there.
And let me tell ya, these races, they ain’t cheap. They got these fancy packages, they call ’em “Luxury Bellagio Fountain Club Grandstands Packages”. Luxury, my foot! Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. They charge an arm and a leg, thousands of dollars, just to watch them cars go ‘round and ‘round. Eleven thousand dollars, I heard! For three days! And that ain’t even countin’ the other stuff you gotta pay for. Lord have mercy, who in their right mind would pay that much? Must be them city folk with more money than sense.
They started sellin’ these package deals way back in November of ’22. Told folks they could come watch the races and stay at the Bellagio. Sounded fancy, but I bet it cost a pretty penny. Then, in March of ’23, they really started pushin’ them grandstand packages. Eleven thousand smackeroos, they said! Plus another three thousand for… somethin’ else. They didn’t say what, but I bet it was more fancy food and drinks. City folk always spendin’ money on fancy food and drinks.
So, what’s the deal with these grandstands? Well, they’re for them rich folks who wanna watch them fast cars. And they’re gonna be there a while, ten whole years. If you wanna see the fountains, you gotta fight the crowds. And if you wanna watch the races, you gotta open up your wallet real wide. It ain’t for the likes of us common folk, that’s for sure.
I tell ya, it’s changed things around here. Used to be you could just wander around, enjoy the sights. Now you gotta dodge these grandstands and the fancy folks who come with ‘em. But I guess that’s progress, right? Always somethin’ changin’. Just gotta learn to live with it, I reckon.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Go see for yourself. Just be prepared to open your wallet or fight a crowd. That’s the way things are now, whether we like it or not. These grandstands, they ain’t goin’ anywhere. They’re part of the Bellagio now, like it or not. And that’s all there is to it.
I still think it’s a waste of good money, but what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes to watch the fountains without all the fuss. But them fancy folks, they got their ways. And I guess them grandstands are here to stay. So, if you’re plannin’ on visitin’ the Bellagio, just be warned. It ain’t the same as it used to be. Them race cars and grandstands changed everything.
Key Takeaways:
- Bellagio Grandstands are for Formula One racing.

Anyways, that’s the whole story as I see it. Take it or leave it. Just tryin’ to tell ya what’s what, ya know? Them grandstands, they’re a big deal now, whether we like it or not. So, next time you’re at the Bellagio, don’t be surprised to see ’em. They’re part of the landscape now.
