The Fountains at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino

July 7th, 2009

Watching the Fountains at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino was quite possible one of the best experiences of visiting Las Vegas. I was literrally mesmerized by the explosive water jets that were choreographed with some of the most well known songs in North America. Some of the featured music includes: CON TE PARTIRÕ, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, SIMPLE GIFTS, VIVA LAS VEGAS, RONDINE AL NIDO, HEY, BIG SPENDER, STAR SPANGLED BANNER, LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT, etc – sung and/or produced by artists such as Sarah Brightman, Elvis Presley, Luciano Pavaratti, Frank Sinatra, Faith Hill, Celine Dion and more.

I visited the fountains each night between 11 pm and 12 am. However, this evening I sat at the middle of the fountains from 8 pm to 12 am to watch a fountain show start every 15 minutes. I could not leave! Here are just a few of the many photos I took of this event.

Passed Out Drunk at the Fountains

July 6th, 2009

This guy clearly took his drinking too far. He was carrying a bag of beer cans and made it as far as the Fountains at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. People just walked by him without paying attention. Is that normal? Is that ok? Should we care? Well he is one of many passed out folks along the Las Vegas Strip - which seems to be a part of the social norm here. I had actually walked by this passed out guy at 12:10 AM and later found him still there (snoring away) at 2:00 AM (the time of this photo).
