Excerpt from bellagio.mgmresorts.com:
There is nothing like seeing them in person. The Fountains of Bellagio were destined to romance your senses. Take in a spectacular show of thoughtfully interwoven water, music and light designed to mesmerize its admirers. It is the most ambitious, choreographically complex water feature ever conceived and it’s absolutely free for any visitor to enjoy. Step back, or find a comfortable perch to sit, and watch the dynamic performance set against the backdrop of the Las Vegas lavender sky. Each performance is unique in expression and interpretation so no matter how many times you have seen the Fountains, they always have more in store to wow you with. Fall in love with this unprecedented aquatic accomplishment as you enjoy an enchanting concert of opera, classical, Broadway and pop tunes.
During the day, they do several tests of the fountain in preparation for the evening shows. The lights make a big difference, of course, but it's still fun to watch the dancing waters and be entertained, to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "Lady is a Tramp"! ; >)

Excerpt from kistefosmuseum.com:
Bent of Mind looks as though it is constantly growing and changing. The two profiles, which make up the sculpture’s main motive, constantly change character as you move around the sculpture to see them from different angles.
A stretched neck becomes a round cheek, which in turn becomes a curved lip or a marked nose. The glossy surface and the dark bronze, which looks almost liquid, is reminiscent of flowing water or beautiful icicles.
Despite Cragg’s sculpture being large - nearly five meters high - it is not perceived as heavy. The excitement and variety in shape provide a dynamic expression that apparently nullifies gravity. The title, Bent of Mind, alludes to the human mind’s constant vicissitudes, and the difficult choices we face in a changing world.
