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.
The Fountains of the Bellagio; a dancing water fountain show to synchronized music captivates spectators along the Las Vegas Strip.
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"! ; >)
M explaining plate tectonics and the relationship between quantum mechanics and the original Pangea.
The next best thing to being in Paris!!
The Arc de Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas is a two-thirds replica of the original monument to the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Austerlitz. The names and dates of Napoleon's victories are inscribed on the replica.

Back in Vegas for NAB after some travel to Orlando & NYC... Pretty nice view from the Aria! The windows are pretty dirty so it was hard to avoid the blotchiness... but you get the idea :P
I've been a bit slack on uploading shots here, mostly because I've been playing with my S95 a lot & posting to Facebook :P

Jean-Philippe Maury is a pastry chef, currently owning iDessert in San Diego and overseeing 2 pastry shops aboard a cruiseship.
Jean-Philippe was born and raised in Perpignan in the south of France. At the age of 8, he often helped his aunt out whenever she was baking, which sparked his curiosity and inspiration for pastries. Maury has two Certificat d'Aptitude Professionelle (CAP) in hotel management and baking. At the age of 16, he began to pursue a career as a pastry chef, starting his training in pastry at L'École Hôtelière du Moulin à Vent and later went on to complete his master studies at La Chambre de Métiers in Perpignan, receiving his degree in 1991.
In 1997, Maury moved to New York City to work with chef François Payard. During the same year, he also won the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) title for pastry. In 2002 and 2004, he was given the title of World Champion in pastry, once as a participant in 2002, and once as coach in 2004, thus officially holding a double title. Maury's team was featured in a two-page feature story in Newsweek and an hour-long program on the Food Network.
Maury has also appeared on TLC for the "Fabulous Cakes" show, and was also a guest judge on season 3 of "The Next Iron Chef" on the Food Network.
In 1998, Maury was offered the position as executive pastry chef and opened up Jean-Philippe Pâtisserie at the AAA Five Diamond Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada.

If you've never heard of the neo-figurative movement, you're probably not alone. But that doesn't change the fact that Richard MacDonald is shaking things up with his gallery inspired by the wonders of Cirque du Soleil. Play-Doh may be the extent of your sculpting knowledge, but you don't have to know a single thing about art to figure out why he's celebrated all over the world.
We can't imagine a more striking subject matter than the superhuman and epically bendy Cirque performers. MacDonald used these acrobats, dancers and contortionists to capture the essence of their movements, making sure to incorporate the muscle mass that most Americans don't have. Not only will you wonder how the models got into those poses, but also how MacDonald re-created them so perfectly.
More than 50 bronze sculptures are featured in the gallery at the "O" Theatre, some of which took eight years to finish. When you see them, you'll know why. Because of his appreciation for the grace, strength and poise of the entertainers, many of his pieces are set at angles that will definitely make you cock your head to one side. They will also have you rethinking that cupcake you had for lunch.
MacDonald's art can be found in the "O" Theatre lobby, near the Bellagio Conservatory and in Gallery Row, just across the bridge and outside of Crystals at CityCenter.
