Teens ‘Bellagio’ recreation goes viral

The Bellagio fountains outside the five star luxury Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas have become a world famous sight and an instantly recognizable one. The beautiful and vibrant water display has water that shoots hundreds of feet into the air and ‘dances’ to accompanying music, turning this into one of the major free attractions for visitors to Las Vegas.

Many could have been forgiven for thinking that they were looking at the stunning Bellagio fountains in a recent video that was released online, okay maybe not, but it was pretty cool. However, in actual fact the video was a group of nineteen teens who used both acrobatics and good old fashioned water pistols to recreate their own version of the fountains.

The teenagers from Tennessee saw their video of the famous fountain recreation go viral, with hundreds of thousands of hits from fascinated consumers around the world.

In the video the teens shoot water from their water pistols into the air in line with classical music, even waving the pistols to recreate the dancing effects of the Bellagio fountains. The sketch, which has become famous, was the work of US pool chemicals firm – HTH Pool Care.
