On a recent visit to Las Vegas my wife had I stayed at the Bellagio on the the Strip. Our room, on the 27th floor, overlooked the Bellagio's man-made Lake Como.

I shot the video approximately 4:00PM facing east-south-east, using the Canon HV20 in the Program AE mode. I enhanced brightness and contrast during the edit.

Music is by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman and is titled "Time to Say Goodbye."

The best way to experience the fountains is in person. They are an engineering marvel; the experience can be quite moving.

  • John,
    This shot looks great! I would like to see it with the original melody.
    I've shot the Bellagio Fountains 7 years ago with a Pana miniDV camera, during night, standing in front of the fountains, exactly where Danny Ocean's team did. The theme was a musical title Hey Big Spender.
    In my opinion the original sound is important to understand how amazing this fountain is in reality. Perfect visual entertainment composed exactly matching a melody. You can almost see the fountain singing and dancing, the timing of the water movements is so perfect. I would recommend to upload the "raw material" even if it's less nice.
    Anyway, Belaggio Fountains is on of the reasons I would defenately like to go back to Vegas.
    Thanks for the great video again.

    Great to see it again, specially from that room in HD! I stayed in the Paris hotel accross the street. Next time Bellagio it is! Too bad the show is not exactly in sync with the music as in real life...
