Fountains of Bellagio - Las Vegas

The Fountains of Bellagio were destined to romance your senses. Take in a complimentary Las Vegas show of water, music and light thoughtfully interwoven to mesmerize its admirers. All for your amusement, the most ambitious, choreographically complex water feature ever conceived amazes against the beautiful backdrop of Las Vegas' lavender sky. Each dynamic performance from the Fountains collection is unique in its expression and interpretation. Fall in love with the stunning nature of this unprecedented aquatic accomplishment while relishing a clever concert of opera, classical and Broadway tunes.

With several professionally choreographed musical routines and rushing water that soars as high as 460 feet from a total of 1,214 water-emitting devices, the $40-million, 8.5-acre lake is the most ambitious water feature ever created by WET Design. The free show has been celebrated in countless films, television shows, photographs and articles on Las Vegas.

Fremont Street - Las Vegas

The Fremont Street Experience is a must see if you go to Las Vegas. It is an incredible entertainment and gaming complex in the heart of the most exciting city on Earth. Imagine standing underneath the largest big screen on the planet watching epic scenes and beautiful images flying overhead while your heart pounds to the pulsating music of a 550,000 watt sound system. You have just experienced Viva Vision. This $70 million phenomenon has delighted visitors with larger than life animations, integrated live video feeds and synchronized music ... all delivered on a high-tech overhead canopy that extends the length of five football fields. Once the Vegas sun has set, just peer upwards to experience over 12.5 million synchronized LED modules offering crisp high resolution images and astounding special affects. It is the signature attraction of the Fremont Street Experience with free shows every single night of the year.... one every hour. We lodged at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino, the most luxurious resort on Fremont Street. Having the light show just outside, we took many videos. I was mesmerized by the technological wonders of this one-of-a-kind experience. Hope you enjoy this first video.

Please Note: I haven't been lazy about updating my blog ... I've been very sick with the flu and then pneumonia since returning from Las Vegas. I started getting sick at the airport in Atlanta on the way back. By the time I returned home, I was having chills, ached all over and had a temperature of 104. After much rest and medication, I feel somewhat normal again. Still need to regain my strength but I am much better.

This is my first attempt at writing about our trip to Las Vegas. There will be more to come once I am feeling a LOT better.

Las Vegas - For A Week

Leaving today for a week in Las Vegas. My son's birthday is Monday and he wanted to go on a little adventure. He's never been to Las Vegas so I thought this would be a nice birthday present for him. I have been once - about 25 years ago. I'm sure much has changed over the years.

They say what happens in Las Vegas - stays in Las Vegas. That may be the case with some people but I plan to take lots of photographs and share them with you when we return.

I will be unplugged for a while. Yes, he will take his laptop but, I don't see me spending my time blogging from Vegas. There's so much to see and do while there. See you when I return.
