Regular Forum (No New Posts) Fountains At Bellagio
A Couple Years Ago, Two Mad-Scientist Types Known As Eepy Bird Became An Internet Sensation By Dropping More Than 500 Mentos Mints Into 200 Liters Of Diet Coke With Explosive Results. Thanks To A Scientific Force Called Nucleation And Some Careful Manipulation, The Cola Shot In The Air Like A Geyser And Danced Around In Ways Resembling The World Famous Fountains At Bellagio. Fountains Creator WET Design Was So Impressed By This Hilarious Tribute That They Brought The Creators Fritz Grobe And Stephen Voltz To Their California-Based Office For A Live Performance. "When I First Saw It I Thought It Was Just Fabulous," Said Mark Fuller, Chief Executive Officer Of WET Design. "It's Very Flattering." Equally As Flattering For Fuller Is Seeing The Day-To-Day Reaction Of Vegas Visitors As They Watch The Actual Fountains At Bellagio. "People Laugh And Literally Cry When They See It," Fuller Said. "I Typically Stand With My Back To The Fountains Because I Enjoy Watching The Expression Of The Crowd." 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 Marks, 8.5-Acre Lake Is The Most Ambitious Water Feature Ever Created By WET Design. Each Water Show Has Its Own Expressive Choreographed Interpretation. The Collection Of 32 Songs Ranges From Luciano Pavarotti And Andrea Bocelli To Elton John And Faith Hill. Visitors Can Enjoy Three New Shows Including Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” The Beatles’ “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” And The Big Band Hit, Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood.” The Free Show Has Been Celebrated In Countless Films, Television Shows, Photographs And Articles On Las Vegas. "If You Were To Fly Around The World Today There Is No Other Water Feature You Would See That Has The Same Scope, Same Spectacle, Same Emotional Impact," Said Fuller. "We Were Very Choreographed And Prescriptive About How The Water Moves And How We Tie That With The Music. Nonetheless, The Moment Those Water Molecules Leave Those Jets And Loft Themselves Into The Sky, They're Completely Subject To The Forces Of Nature And The Whims Of The Sunshine. Even If You See The Same Show, You Never Really See It Twice." Fuller Believes It Is This "Marriage Of The Expressions Of Nature With The Hand Of Man And Machinery" That So Mesmerizes Viewers. Speaking Of Marriage, The Fountains At Bellagio Is A Prime Destination For Proposals And Weddings. Just Ask Bill Mayers, Assistant Manager Of Operations For The Fountains. "I Personally Proposed To My Wife On The Second Of February Last Year To Elton John's 'Your Song" On The Center Outlook," Said Mayers. "I Got A Resounding, 'Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes' -- That's Five Yeses To One Question." Bellagio Also Offers A Wedding Package On The Terrazza Di Sogno (Terrace Of Dreams), An Italian Balcony Overlooking The Fountains. The Water Soars To The Sky At The Moment Of The Couple's First Kiss. And There Are A Lot Of Drive-By Weddings. "A Chapel Will Put Everybody Into A Limousine And Pull Up In Front Of The Fountain," Mayers Said. "They'll Throw Open The Door And The Minister Will Jump Out And The Groom Will Jump Out And The Bride Will Jump Out And They'll Rush To One Of The Outlooks And Do The Ceremony Right There." With Its Diverse And Ever-Changing Lineup Of Musical Numbers, From Show Tunes Like "One Singular Sensation" To The Evocative "Con Te Partiro," Couples Don't Necessarily Know What Song They're Going To Get. "1 Christmas, I Saw A Couple Get Married To Madonna Singing 'Santa Baby,'" Said Mayers, Laughing. Mayers And A Staff Of 37 Work Behind The Scenes Seven Days A Week, 365 Days A Year To Maintain The Show, Which Begins Every 30 Minutes Between 3 And 7 P.M., And Every 15 Minutes Until Midnight On Weekdays (Shows Begin At Noon On Weekends And Holidays; Times May Vary Due To Daylight Saving Time). Along With Cleaning The Fountains, The Crew Works With Several Different Types Of Shooters, Compressors, Purification Equipment And A Fog System That Is So Intense It Could Literally Blanket Las Vegas Boulevard "And Turn Paris (The Hotel Across The Street) Into London, In Less Than Five Minutes," Said Fuller. The Fountains Only Use About 10 Percent Of The Water That Was Used By The Dunes Hotel Golf Course It Replaced. Through An Agreement With The Clark County Fire Department, The Water Can Be Used At The Department's Discretion To Fight A Nearby Fire Or For Another Catastrophic Event. The Computerized Program That Runs The Fountain Show Automatically Cancels Or Scales It Down Based On Weather Conditions. But Apart From A Three-Day Period In 2004 When The Bellagio Had No Power And The Occasionally Prohibitive Weather, There Have Only Been A Handful Of Times That The Show Has Not Gone On. One Of The Windiest Nights In The Bellagio's History Took Place During The Hotel's Black Tie Opening Ceremonies In 1998. Despite The Whipping Wind, The Fountains Were Run Full Blast." "The Comment Was Made: 'Well Everyone Gets To Be Baptized,'" Said Fuller. "It Was A Pretty Memorable Opening."

Regular Forum (No New Posts) Bellagio Conservatory
It's The Most Popular Show In Vegas; Has A Cast Of Thousands And A Crew Of More Than 100 ... And It's Free. Each Year More Than 5 Million Visitors, 15,000 -- 18,000 Per Day, Take Time Out From Gambling, Clubbing And Shopping To Experience The Floral Extravaganza Of One Of Five Horticultural Shows In The Bellagio Conservatory And Botanical Gardens. "The Conservatory Is So Unique That It Is A Must-See Destination In Las Vegas," Says Andres Garcia, Bellagio's Director Of Horticulture. "It Is Unique; It Is Beautiful; It Is Magical." For The Bellagio, The Conservatory Show Is An Intrinsic Part Of The Hotel's Allure. "When Guests Think Of Bellagio, The Thoughts Are Of The Magnificent Fountains, The Chihuly Ceiling In The Grand Lobby, And The Beauty Of The Conservatory And Botanical Gardens Amongst All Of Our Other Amenities," Says H. Fletch Brunelle, Senior Vice President Of Hotel Sales And Marketing. "Visitors To Bellagio Expect A Spectacular Show And Our Horticulture Department Provides This Experience. " Beginning With Chinese New Year In January And Changing Through Spring, Summer, Fall And Finally Winter, The Conservatory Mounts Each Show With The Creativity And Lavishness That A Broadway Producer Would Envy. Like A Broadway Show, These Floral Theatrical Productions Take Months Of Work And An Army Of Talented People, Plus A Colorful Cast Of Players - Here Thousands Of Flowers, Trees And Plants - To Pull Off. Planning For Each Show Begins Two To Three Months Before It Debuts. "What Are We Going To Install? What Will Be The Theme? What Props Are We Going To Use? How Are We Going To Accomplish It?" These Are Just A Few Of The Questions Garcia Says The Bellagio's Horticulture Staff Wrestles With. "We Have To Be Creative," He Explains. "We Have Design Meetings Every Week." Ideas Come From A Variety Of Sources. The Bellagio Has 120 People Working On Its Horticultural Staff In A Variety Of Areas Including The Conservatory, Interior And Exterior Floral And Grounds Maintenance And Floral Design. This Doesn't Include The Numerous Employees From Engineering, Electrical, Water Design And More Who All Help Contribute To The Final Product. "We Have To Have All These Skilled People To Make This Beauty," Says Garcia. The Conservatory Staff Is Always Listening, Looking For The Next Inspiration And It's Not Just The Hotel Staff That's Voicing An Opinion During The Design Phase. Visitors To The Garden Play An Active Role In What Gets Installed. "We Always Walk The Conservatory Without A Name Tag So We Are Hearing The Guests And We Are Learning From The Guests What They Want To See," Says Garcia. "We Never Say Never Because We Are Always Looking For That Unique Plant, That Unique Tree That People Are Going To Talk About. We Are Open For Anything." Creating New And Unique Shows Is A Key Part Of The Conservatory's Attraction, According To Tim Hunter, Conservatory Manager. "I Try To Have Different Flowers In Here, Even If It's One Different Type Of Flower, So Not Every Show Looks The Same," Says Hunter. "That's The Biggest Challenge, Finding Something New So When You Come Back Next Summer You Don't Walk Through And Say 'Oh This Is What They Did Last Summer.' It's Got To Change Every Year Somewhat, Whether It Be The Props, The Flowers Or Trees. It's Got To Be Exciting Every Year, Every Show." Design Work Continues Up To The Day The Show Opens As The Conservatory Staff Wrestles With Any Surprises That Come Up Along The Way. The Logistics Of The Show Change-Outs Are Staggering. Over The Course Of Seven Days, The Staff Of 120 Works 24-Hours A Day To Transform The 13,573-Square-Foot Conservatory. Potted Flowers And Plants - More Than 10,000 - Are Ordered Months In Advance From Suppliers In Southern California. The Plants Arrive Shortly Before The Exhibit And Are Housed Temporarily In A 40,000-Square-Foot, Off-Site Greenhouse. Props, Stored In A 24,000-Square-Foot Warehouse, Are Trucked To The Hotel. Cranes Help The Staff Position The Larger Pieces Like 16-Foot Tall Glass Poppies And The 40-Foot Tall 1922 Ferris Wheel Used In The Summer Exhibit. Tunnels Run Under The Conservatory's Floor To Allow Even More Access. Even After The Change Out, Work For The Conservatory Staff Doesn't End. Most Of The Watering Is Done By Hand And Every Two Weeks More Than 10,000 Potted Flowers Are Switched Out. The Old Plants Are Then Recycled, Providing Mulch For The Rest Of The Bellagio. Ninety Percent Of The Conservatory Is Recycled. "We've Got To Make Sure This Looks Perfect," Garcia Says. "There Is No Room For Error." It's Easy To Get Lost Discussing The Numbers When You Talk About The Conservatory. But It's Not The Numbers That Make The Gardens The Must-See Show In Vegas. Numbers Don't Encompass The Driving Emotion Behind The Horticultural Staff's Work. Ask Garcia, Who Came From A Farm In El Salvador To Las Vegas To Find His Dream Job, Or Hunter Who Has Worked For The Bellagio Since Its Opening, Why They Do This And You Get One Answer -- Passion. "It's In Me, In My Blood," Garcia Explains. "Other (Bellagio) Departments Want To Work In Horticulture," Hunter Says "Whenever We Have An Opening We Just Have Floods Of Applications. They Walk In And See It And Want To Work In Here. What I Need Is Someone Who Has The Passion That Wants To Do This. "You Have To Have That. Otherwise It Doesn't Work In Here."
