Watch Tiesto's Music Set For The Bellagio Water Fountains!

  On Wednesday, September 17, the beat dropped and water soared when world-renowned DJ/producer Tiësto brought the iconic Fountains of Bellagio to life with a never-before-heard medley of three songs off his new album, A Town Called Paradise. “Footprints,” “Rocky” and “Red Lights” serve as the soundtrack to the newest show choreographed by WET, the original fountain creators.
For high-res photos and videos, please click here.

“Las Vegas is like my second home and I’m excited to leave a permanent mark on the city I love,” said Tiësto. “The Fountains of Bellagio bring my songs to life in a new and dynamic way that I can’t wait for my fans to experience.”

The medley is the first compilation created specifically for the Fountains of Bellagio and the only show set to electronic dance music. This is also the first time a composer has collaborated with WET on show choreography for the Bellagio Fountains.

Randy Morton, President and COO of Bellagio, said, “We’re thrilled to have Tiësto contribute his talent to our very special Fountains. The collaboration of these two Las Vegas icons will introduce Bellagio to an entirely new audience.”

The show was taken from inception to completion by Peter Kopik, Executive Designer & Director of Choreography at WET, with Tiësto and Kopik spending time at the company’s California studio as well as on site programming at Bellagio. The mix includes elements exclusively added for the Fountains show and is a spectacle that will appeal to all.

Kopik said, “It was a new challenge to translate Tiësto’s fast-paced beats in to Fountain choreography. Instead of starting off slow as the other shows do, this performance begins with an explosive burst from the Fountains, bringing a new energy to the show.”

The Fountains of Bellagio is complimentary with daily performances that rotate more than 30 songs.  The schedule is:

o   Every 30 minutes:  Monday – Friday, 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Saturday and holidays, noon – 8 p.m.
Sunday, 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.
o   Every 15 minutes:  Daily, 8 p.m. – midnight
Sunday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mob Com Is Coming! Rub Elbows With The Mob & The Law! Only In Vegas!

Many mobsters have written books or been the subject of TV shows or movies, but how often does the general public have the opportunity to meet the real deals and the lawmen who chased them face-to-face and hear stories that might not have been documented?

Mob-Con 2014 is a presentation of Las Vegas entertainer and businessman Robert George Allen and former mobster Frank Cullotta of the Chicago Outfit and infamous Hole in the Wall Gang of Las Vegas. Cullotta and Allen also produce Frank Cullotta’s “Casino” Tour—The Real Story Behind the Movie.

Mob-Con launched in 2013 and was filled to capacity with fans of true crime and Mob history. Las Vegas is famous for its glitz, entertainment and gambling, but also just as famous for its past ties to the Mob, as depicted in books, movies and TV. Sin City, renowned to be like no other, has added its own Mob Convention, Mob-Con, to the unique attractions.

Robert George Allen has spent more than 30 years in show business. He’s been featured on the famous Vegas Strip as a guitarist/vocalist, comedian and hypnotist and appeared as an actor in numerous theater productions, films and on television. For several years he has owned a tour company conducting Mob tours and Haunted Vegas tours.

When asked how this conference came about, Allen said, “I’ve been a part of Las Vegas for many years and Las Vegas is the ideal city to host something like Mob-Con. People are fascinated with the Mob and, without the Mob Las Vegas would not be what it is today.”

Featured speakers include former mobsters, lawmen, true crime writers and historians as well as and people from the entertainment industry. Mob-Con 2014 sets up shop at Palace Station Hotel & Casino on September 27 and 28. Many of the speakers have written at least one book, and they will all be together in the same place at the same time to talk about "the day." Attendees will have the opportunity to hear what these speakers have to say and meet the very people in person they used to read about in the papers or see portrayed on the big screen. It is also an opportunity to acquire signed books and add a piece of Mob history to your personal library.

“Anyone who has an interest in the Mob will not want to miss this event,” Allen added “Mob-Con gives the general public unprecedented access to the individuals who were a part of this history.”

Frank Cullotta, has two books to his name as well as consultant and acting credits for the iconic film “Casino.” When he teamed up with Allen the idea of hosting a Mob conference became a reality.

The lineup of speakers includes: Frank Cullotta (Chicago Outfit associate & author), Tony Montana (Chicago Outfit associate & author), Dennis Arnoldy (retired FBI), Denny Griffin (Mob historian & Author), Gary Jenkins (Law Enforcement), Ronald Fino (former FBI & CIA), Jon D’Amore (author & screenwriter), Stan Hunterton (attorney and former DOJ Organized Crime Strike Force lawyer), Larry Leavitt (retired federal judge and former DOJ Organized Crime Strike Force attorney), John L. Smith (columnist & author) and a special Mob Women panel comprised of Susan Ferritto (Mafia widow and author), Lisa Caserta (fiancé of the late Henry Hill), Denyce Franzese (former wife of John Franzese, Jr.) and Georgia Durante (former Mafia wife, stunt driver and author).
