AROUND VEGAS

Trump town: In case you missed those big gold letters, Donald T-R-U-M-P is coming to the Las Vegas Strip. The 64-story, 1,282-room Trump International Hotel and Towers Las Vegas is opening next spring, becoming, its Web site promises, the "most striking building on the Las Vegas Skyline." If you're merely looking for "unparalleled luxury, sophistication and contemporary chic," then head to the new Palazzo Las Vegas (www.palazzolasvegas.com), a 3,000-room sister to the Venetian, with restaurants by Mario Batali, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse and Charlie Trotter, as well as a Barneys New York. www.trumplv.com.

Bellagio Fountains: One of the most memorable scenes from the 2001 movie "Ocean's Eleven" takes place at the 8-acre man-made lake in front of the Bellagio hotel, where an array of underwater pipes and nozzles stage spectacular fountain displays, coordinated with more than 4,500 lights. Three types of nozzles are used: Oarsmans swing back and forth to create dancing water, Shooters shoot water upward, Super Shooters send a water blast as high as 250 feet. The Fountains are choreographed to a range of musical works from delicate to grand and commanding. Mondays through Fridays, 3 p.m.-12 a.m.; Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, 12 p.m.-12 a.m. www.bellagio.com.
