Vegas Baby!

Las Vegas... the entertainment capital of the world... and I am in it! How does a fish like me get so lucky you may ask? It all started back in my campaigning days... I worked hard, I didn't sleep for days, and in the process, my heart grew for a pretty lady with red hair. She took me home with her one day, and it was then that I knew it was true love. She feeds me, changes my water, talks to me in the morning during breakfast and at night before bed, and today we will watch the romantic water show at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino... together. Did you know that inside Bellagio, Dale Chihuly's Fiori di Como, composed of over 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers, covers 2,000 sq ft  of the lobby ceiling? It is beautiful.

The Bellagio opened in October 1998, with a ceremony that was reported to cost $88 million. Opening night's entertainment began with it's owner, Steve Wynn giving a 40-minute welcome speech followed by the opening of the Cirque du Soleil's production of  "O."

But one of the most beautiful parts of the Bellagio is it's fountains; choreographed with music, the dancing waters perform on the hour. That's where my picture was taken. You may also remember seeing the fountians in movies like Oceans Eleven, Oceans Thirteen, and my personal Favorite, The Hangover ("Not at the table Carlos!").

Anyways, I just wanted to share with you where I am today... I got to get back to my red headed lady!
Ciao!
