The Bellagio hotel and casino is featured in several feature films. One iconic moment was the end of the "Ocean's Eleven" remake where the troupe of partners in crime watch the hotel's iconic fountains. Other films include its destruction in the ultimate disaster flick "2012". The hotel collapses as a plane of survivors jets from Las Vegas while the city crumbles below it. "The Hangover" and "21" are other movies to feature the luxury hotel.
