Game of Thrones takes over the Bellagio's famous fountains
For nearly four minutes on Sunday night, there was a touch of Westeros in Las Vegas.
In celebration of the upcoming Game of Thrones season premiere, the world-famous fountains at the Bellagio resort put on a special performance. Imagery familiar to viewers, like the Night King and dragons, was projected onto the water, and composer Ramin Dhawadi put together a soundtrack for the show. As an 800-foot-long water wall rose up from the lake, jets formed the shape of a crown and throne.
There weren't any spoilers for the eighth — and final — season, but for the first time in hotel history, the water was set on fire, The Associated Press reports. The special fountain show will go off nightly through April 13.
