MGM Wows with First Guest-Curated Fountains of Bellagio Show

It's a beautiful day at the Bellagio, operated by MGM Resorts International and part of The Luxury Collection by Marriott Bonvoy. The Fountains of Bellagio recently celebrated a significant milestone with the debut of its 40th show, which is set to "Beautiful Day" by U2 and choreographed by Marriott Bonvoy Elite member Scott Krupa. Krupa, who is from Atlanta, Georgia, had been waiting for the perfect Marriott Bonvoy Moment to use his points and make his bid. Now, his creation is part of the Fountains' history.

For the first time, a guest was invited to create a show for the renowned Las Vegas landmark through Marriott Bonvoy Moments inspired by the MGM Collection. These experiences give members an all-access pass to a world beyond the ordinary. They were launched to celebrate the partnership between Marriott International and MGM Resorts International and the debut of the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.

The Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform allows members to enjoy unique experiences similar to those of Krupa. Members can use the points earned from hotel stays and everyday purchases to enjoy entertainment, culinary, sports, arts, and lifestyle experiences. Choreographing the Fountains of Bellagio is just one example of the extraordinary experiences offered exclusively through the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.

Krupa shared her experience: "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. I will cherish the ability to express my creativity through the Fountains forever. I carefully considered not only the visual impact of the show but also the emotions it would evoke in the huge crowds that constantly gather to watch."

Krupa, a long-time Marriott Bonvoy member 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 with learning about sophisticated technology and the intricate process of stunning water performance. Armed with newfound knowledge and inspiration, Krupa stepped into the maestro role 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's premiere with his friends and family at Bellagio’s The Mayfair Supper Club. His masterpiece will now join the Fountains' rotation of 40 breathtaking performances, delighting millions of visitors worldwide.

“Choreographing a show for the Fountains of Bellagio illustrates the extraordinary experiences we strive to create for our members through MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, leaving them with memories that will last a lifetime,” said Peggy Roe, EVP and Chief Customer Officer, Marriott International. “Our relationship with MGM Resorts underscores Marriott’s dedication to providing unparalleled access and value to our Marriott Bonvoy community.
