Las Vegas is all about luxury and over-the-top living, but one pricey attraction might just be cooler than all the rest: the ability to control the Fountains of Bellagio. Yes, for the right price, you can actually command the audience and send the world-famous fountains spouting off to the song of your choice.
It all starts at Bellagio's club Hyde [1], where after connecting with club staff to set up this ultraluxe package, you and your party are led to the club's most coveted patio table that overlooks the fountains. Once the fountains have finished for the evening, the lucky high roller with deep enough pockets is brought a gold button and song list to choose from. You can pick any of the songs from Bellagio's repertoire, from "Billie Jean" to "Uptown Funk" and everything in between.
Upon pushing the red button inside a gold box that is hand-delivered to you, the fountain team — who are all SCUBA divers! — are alerted to launch your specialized show just for you and your friends. All for the nominal fee of $250,000. But hey, you also get a gold 30-liter bottle of Ace of Spades Champagne to toast your friends while your fountain show is playing. And you get lifelong bragging rights, because how many people can actually say they've controlled the famed Fountains of Bellagio [3]?
But fear not if you're on a bit more of a budget. There are plenty of truly unique [4] experiences to be had in Las Vegas, many of which are more than affordable. In fact, the Fountains of Bellagio are a completely free attraction to enjoy — you're just at the mercy of someone else picking the songs!
