This is a boomerang of the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas. It is a water show that is choreographed to go along with music and every 30 minutes there is another show to a different song. I've seen the show both in daylight and at night and for some reason the nighttime show feels more spectacular and interesting. I realized that it's because at night they implement the use of lights. The lights really help highlight the water and make the effects all the more dramatic. The light also tells you exactly where to look and where your focus should be for different parts of the piece. When the water shoots up above a light, the light helps to create the illusion that the water is floating at the top before being pushed back down by gravity. I think that this show could be even cooler if they added some sort of color to the lights, but the yellow/gold color also help create a feeling of grandness that they may be going for.
