| Visitors welcome the arrival of electronic dance music to Bellagio. (Ethan Miller) |
Originally created as “a refreshing addition to your entertainment
options, the Fountains of Bellagio were destined to romance your senses. “
Locals and Las Vegas visitors alike are invited to enjoy the “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.” It was designed for you to “fall in love with
the stunning nature of this unprecedented aquatic accomplishment while
relishing a clever concert of opera, classical and Broadway tunes.”
Choreographed by WET
Design, the Sun Valley Company that created the water attraction for the Bellagio’s
opening 16 years ago has recently made changes to the lineup at the Fountain
Show. So what are the changes? Artist Tiësto has been added to the mix with progressive
house and trance music, genera that is new to the Bellagio Fountains, but known
well in the Las Vegas nightclubs.

“It is the first time dance music has been used to create a Bellagio
fountain show.” Tiësto, previously known as Tijs Michiel Verwest, a DJ,
Musician and Producer, now goes by his stage name. So who is he? With his music
career beginning in 1997, he released his first solo album in In My Memory
2001. Just after releasing his second studio album Just Be he performed
live at the 2004 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Athens, he was the first
DJ to play live on stage at an Olympics. In April 2007 Tiësto launched his
radio show Tiësto's Club Life on Radio 538
in the Netherlands and released his third studio album Elements of Life. The album reached number
one on the Dutch album chart as well on "Billboard Top Electronic
Albums" in the U.S. and received a nomination for a Grammy Award in 2008.
Tiësto released his fourth studio album Kaleidoscope in October 2009.” “He
has recently joined the ranks of music legends like Frank
Sinatra, Elton
John, The
Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley as
stars to have their music score the Bellagio fountain show.” You can’t ignore
this wondrous display of talent.
