With less than two weeks until the final season of Game of Thrones premieres, excitement has been ramping up, and so has HBO’s marketing campaign. So far, HBO has hidden Iron Thrones in real-world locations, partnered with brands to sell limited-edition snacks, and now Westeros has invaded the Las Vegas Strip.
The twice-nightly fountain show at the Bellagio in Las Vegas has always been one of the city’s most popular attractions. And it’s about to get an upgrade with visions of ice, fire, and dragons dancing across the water to the Game of Thrones opening theme music. The synchronized production uses the power of nearly 800 fountains, pyrotechnics, and other special effects to create a fantastic display that could even get non-fans excited for the new season.
You can catch the new water fountain show and hum along to the theme music at the Bellagio every night until April 13, at both 8:00 and 9:30 p.m. And if you can’t make it, just watch the whole show in the video above.

The concept of a lost city is enticing. An ancient civilization lost to time and space that holds secrets of how early humans used to live in a time before modern technology sounds more like fiction than fact. Yet, remnants of old civilizations have been found time and time again.

The Christmas travel season is upon us. While perhaps not as narrow and intense as the Thanksgiving holiday, Christmas is nevertheless an extremely busy time of year at airports across the country.
