The Bellagio Fountains are now dancing to 

“Progressive House” and “Trance” Music of Tiësto

Visitors welcome the arrival of electronic dance music to Las Vegas' Fountains of 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.

Watch the video below:

“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.

So when does this display of romance and dance wow Las Vegas? The Bellagio Fountains Show times are listed below. Keep in mind, schedules may vary and shows are subject to cancellation due to high winds.

Meet Dr. Richmond of Acupuncture Vegas

Meet Dr. Richmond of Acupuncture Vegas

Dr. Naomi Richmond 702-582-9088--- WWW.DominguezMartinGroup.com--- Dr. Richmond of Acupuncture Vegas is here to share about Acupuncture. It involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. It's safe enough for young children and babies. Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain, it also works well in Las Vegas to heal allergies and digestion. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine; explained as as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as qi or chi (CHEE) — it is believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. Many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue (aiding in relaxation  and causing you to feel better). This stimulation appears to boost the activity of your body's natural painkillers and increase blood flow. Interested in connecting with Dr. Richmond? Contact the Dominguez Martin Group at Keller Williams Realty Southwest Las Vegas  at 702-582-9088 for  more information and a personal referral.

Rock'n Las Vegas- Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is located just a 17 miles west of Las Vegas strip and encompasses 195,819 acres within the Mojave Desert. Red Rock Canyon is an area of worldwide geologic interest and the formations date back about 180 – 190 million years. Red Rock features a breathtaking one-way 13-mile scenic drive, a picnic area and visitor center offering information, a book and gift store, interpretation about recreation activities, camping, thousands of wildlife and plant vegetation varieties, endangered species, geology and cultural resources, and 19 marked hiking and trails that range in difficulty from easy to strenuous. Many amateur and experienced geologists, locals, and tourists visit Red Rock and are amazed by the rock formations, natural beauty, and the vivid colors.

Red Rock is supported through admission fees and a 501c3 non-profit organization. Vehicle/ pedestrian fees, and annual passes make up a portion of how this beautiful land is cared for. A portion of the proceeds from passes purchased at Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area stay in the area and help fund the Visitor Center and our many public programs. Special discounts and passes are available called the America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass and include Annual, Senior, Access, and Military passes. The non-profit is called "Red Rock Canyon Interpretive Association, it was created to enhance the recreational, educational and interpretive programs of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and other governmental agencies, by providing materials and services, which promote an understanding and appreciation of the natural history, cultural history and sciences of Southern Nevada. The BLM land is protected land; BLM conserves the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations."

With so much to see and do while visiting Red Rock, there is something for everyone and each season brings a freshness and change, from scorching summer temperatures, to yellowing autumn leaves, snow-capped mountains blanketed with fallen snow, or cool and clear skies in the springtime.  Pitch a tent and stay over at Red Rock Canyon Campground. The campground is open Labor Day weekend through Memorial Day weekend. Reservations are only accepted for group sites, individual campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Be on the lookout for Mojave Max, an endangered desert tortoise that calls Red Rock home. Red Rock National Conservation Area is just another reason why we think Vegas is awesome.
