The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas caught fire last night. The hotel is known for being featured in countless movies, music videos and pictures because of it's iconic fountain show. The dancing fountains have been set to classical music as well as rock and even dance music featuring a show to Tiesto when the DJ received his own Holiday and Key to the city.
The fire broke out behind where the fountain show takes place and due to the unusual location the fire fighting efforts were incredibly difficult. As the video below shows the fire tore through the roof as bystanders stood by and watched. Eventually 77 fire fighters were able to position themselves correctly and were able to extinguish the blaze.
