Among the most famous mega-resorts in the world, Bellagio knows how to pull the crowds. Opened to much fanfare in 1998, this glamorous resort took its design cue from the Italian town of Bellagio on Lake Como. Its much-photographed lobby ceiling showcases Dale Chihuly’s intricate Fiori di Como art installation, with more than 2,000 hand-blown, colored glass flowers. Bellagio is famed for its 8-acre (3-hectare) lake, where you’ll find the incredible fountains lit up at night. It’s also the backdrop for the 2001 Ocean’s Eleven film.

5. Disney California Adventure® Park

Disney California Adventure® Park opened in 2001, right next door to the original Disneyland® Park in Anaheim, Orange County. Years in the making, the 27-hectare (67-acre) park was created to reflect the hope and optimism which drew a young Walt Disney to California in the 1920s, and to create a new canvas on which to present Disney’s latest creations. The Park features thrill rides, state-of-the-art shows, and attractions that are often culturally rich and educational. And fun is never far away!
