Well, the good news is the Bellagio Fountains have been cleared of the disgusting grand stands from the Formula 1 race. So it must be time to get back to normal and get on with life, right? Well, not so fast… there’s more money to be made.
Fresh off their appearance in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Bellagio Fountains are once again front and center for the upcoming Super Bowl. But this time they won’t be hosting fans. Instead, they will host the CBS Sports studio during the big game.
In a town where prostitution is illegal (no matter what you might witness on the Strip), the resorts don’t seem to have any issue selling themselves to the highest bidder. And it’s not just Bellagio. Just take a walk down Las Vegas Boulevard and you’ll see.
We get it… the Super Bowl is one of those rare opportunities for the Las Vegas casinos to make some money… wait, what? Perhaps a better way to say that is the Super Bowl is a rare opportunity to squeeze even more cash out of a situation. That’s capitalism.
So if you’re headed to Sin City for the big game, be sure to take in the sights, if they’re not covered up by advertising. And you have check out the Bellagio Fountains… on your next trip. This time they may be hard to see.
