The Fountains of Bellagio celebrated a milestone with the debut of its 40th show, set to “Beautiful Day” by U2 and choreographed by Marriott Bonvoy Elite member, Scott Krupa. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Krupa had been waiting for the perfect Marriott Bonvoy Moment to tap into his points to make his bid – and now he is part of the Fountains’ history.
For the first time ever, a guest has been invited to create a show for the renowned Las Vegas landmark, made possible through Marriott Bonvoy Moments® inspired by MGM Collection. These unmatched experiences, giving members an all-access pass to a world beyond the ordinary, were launched in celebration of the alliance between hospitality powerhouses Marriott International and MGM Resorts International, and the debut of MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.
The Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform offers members once-in-a-lifetime experiences like the one Krupa enjoyed. Members can redeem points they have earned through hotel stays and everyday purchases for entertainment, culinary, sports, arts, and lifestyle experiences. This unprecedented opportunity to choreograph the Fountains of Bellagio highlights the extraordinary experiences that can be offered only by MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.
“When I discovered this incredible Marriott Bonvoy Moments opportunity to choreograph the Fountains of Bellagio show, I couldn’t resist, and I eagerly redeemed my points for an experience beyond anything I had ever imagined,” said Krupa.
Krupa, who is a long-time Marriott Bonvoy member and passionate about music, lighting and the arts, bid on this exclusive package which he redeemed for more than 2.4 million Marriott Bonvoy points. The experience began by learning the sophisticated technology and intricate process of the stunning water performance. Armed with newfound knowledge and inspiration, Krupa then stepped into the role of maestro and worked closely with the creative team at WET to select the music, guide the artistry of the aquatic choreography, and turn his creative vision into reality.
As the culmination of this journey, Krupa celebrated the show premiere along with his friends and family at Bellagio’s The Mayfair Supper Club. His masterpiece will now join the Fountains’ rotation of 40 breath taking performances, delighting millions of visitors from around the world.
