A World Class Chocolate Fountain at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas

Get Your Chocolate Fix While in Vegas

Bellagio Fountain Wows Visitors to Las Vegas

You never know what you will see when you follow a Las Vegas local down a back corridor at the Bellagio Hotel. We came upon a marvelous, scrumptious contraption at the Jean-Philippe Patisserie. What we saw was amazing - a glass-encased 27 foot high chocolate fountain with 2,100 pounds of melted flowing chocolate to tempt us.

World Class Chocolate

The patisserie claims the following chocolaty statistics:

- World's tallest and largest volume chocolate fountain
- White, medium and dark confectionary grade chocolate
- Designed by Montreal artist Michel Mailhot
- 6 pumps circulate close to 2 tons of chocolate
- Over 500 feet of stainless steel piping
- Chocolate circulates at 120 degrees F
- Climate controlled enclosure maintained at 95 degrees F
- Chocolate rises 27 vertical feet from lower level pump room
- 6 ceiling spouts disburse chocolate 14 feet above floor level
- Chocolate cascades into 25 hand-crafted artistic glass vessels
- 2 years of engineering, planning and design

At first I thought it was all done with mirrors, but on closer inspection I found that the fountain was indeed 27 feet high. I was entranced. Those whose appetites are whetted for a chocolate fix can purchase pastries and candy at the beautiful patisserie counter.
