The Fountains of Bellagio

Last night I experienced something completely magical: the Fountains of Bellagio (at least that's what Wikipedia refers to them as.) Holy cow... I couldn't stop smiling as I watched them. As ridiculous as it sounds, that might have been my favorite experience of the trip so far.

Anyone who has been to Vegas (or watched Ocean's 11) has seen these, but I have never been so it was my first time. It was basically a choreographed water show to different songs. My favorite song that I heard was probably "Singing in the Rain"... but even the cheesey "Proud to Be an American" was cool! I've clearly seen fountains before (I mean, I'm from Kansas City: The City of Fountains) but the large scale of these fountains accompanied by the backdrop of the beautiful Bellagio Hotel and Casino was incredible... especially at night. Who needs gambling and half-dressed women? I could stand outside the Bellagio all day and be completely content.

If you liked those, you totally need to go to San Fran for 4th of July. Super fireworks set to music. It is awe inspiring.
