Santa Is On His Way

Track Santa Here: http://www.noradsanta.org/

Track his progress… Santa will be here before you know it, well at least once the kids have visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads…

I know as a kid it was always a big deal to my siblings and I to know we made it to the “good list” and just couldn’t wait for Santa’s arrival. I liked to sleep-in (I wasn’t much of a morning person) (my Dad agreed, sleeping in was a good idea), whereas my 4 siblings (and Mom) liked to rise before the sun. Mom and Dad’s heads would have often just hit their pillows when the first of my siblings would awake and make sure the entire house was ready for the unwrapping extravaganza. It was a big deal. Now with 11 nieces and nephews I see Santa’s arrival from a different perspective (from the eyes of a child) and I don’t mind the missed sleep quite as much.  With stops in 3 states (Idaho, California, and Nevada) for my family I know it’s a big deal to know when Mr. Clause will arrive. When I lived in Colorado Springs, I learned of NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (a United States and Canada bi-national organization who monitors aerospace warnings and is in charged of aerospace control for North America) that has a base that sits above a hilltop on the outskirts of town and tracks Santa’s delivery stops, kind of like tracking a FEDEX package during the holidays.  You too can track Santa's journey and his progress, as he circles the globe, and see his expected arrival time to Las Vegas. Hopefully you made it to the good list, and he will be stopping by tonight. Be sure to leave the cookies and milk by the fireplace, Santa will be leaving treats for all the good little boys and girls. 

By the way, does anyone know if Santa eating gluten free theses days?

Are you in need of a new home with a fireplace? Maybe you are considering a move? We are here to help and will made sure Santa knows where to find you. We can help make sure stops by.

The Bellagio Fountains are now dancing to “Progressive House” and “Trance” Music of Tiësto

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.

Monday – Friday 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. (show every 1/2 hour)

*On Sundays Fountain show times begin at 11 a.m. and run every 15 minutes (for the Fountains Brunch at Jasmine.)
