A Few Vegas Videos

This is a video of one of the water shows of the fabulous Fountains at the Bellagio.  The lake that the fountains are situated in is 6 acres and the water cannons shoot jets of water about 100 feet into the air! Keep this in mind as you watch the videos. We were lucky enough to catch an early show while we were on the Eiffel Tower observation deck 460' above enjoying the view.  The video featured below is Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye) as sung by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman.  Don't mind the commentary at the beginning from the lady next to me, as well as her occassional 'bella'.  We can actually hear the music.  Even with a view from that height it is still very moving.  Enjoy!


To see Time to Say Goodbye at night is twice as lovely and here is another YouTube clip of the same piece viewed from the Eiffel Tower in the daytime. (my clip above is only the last half of the same piece.) Haven't seen enough? Here is another piece Rondine al Nido by Pavarotti at night - up close and personal. Bella, indeed! Bring a hanky!

And now for something a little more exuberant - Hoe Down at the Bellagio.  This is one of my favorites! Youtube has hundreds of video clips of the various fountain 'performances' if you want to view more.
This is the first half of Don MacLean's American Pie featured on the gigantic Viva Vision screen over top of Fremont Street.  Grab a beer from the ABC store and look up!
