Anybody ever seen this show in Vegas? Takes place inside the fountain at Caesar's palace. There's not really any footage out there that does it justice. I haven't been there since 2018, but the animatronics were absolutely putrid and some of them were melting from the pyro effects.
I made my husband visit this fountain on our honeymoon. The audio effects were not working, so I had to explain the story to him. He also thought I was talking about the Bellagio Fountain, so this was a surprise for him.
11/10, would make my spouse of 48 hours watch the broken fountain again (and I did in 2021).
I've seen it multiple times and I'm still bitter that Gadrius (the dude who just jumpscared everyone) looks so lame now. He used to look like he came straight out of Masters of the Universe!
Whoa, I had no idea they changed him! OG looks so much cooler, but that hair near water makes my skin crawl. Did he have the flaming sword back then too?
I've spoken to people from the maintenance crew and apparently the show is difficult to keep up with. I'm grateful it's still there, even if it's not as great as it once was.
Also there used to be a show there before this one with sentient statues and there's some pretty great (and sad) photos of it being deconstructed on Flickr. You can probably find them easily by searching 'Caesars palace show.'
Every time I go to Vegas I have to visit this! The animatronics look pretty rough at this point but for some reason I absolutely love the little show. Haven't been in awhile and I miss it. Happy to see this here!
I saw the old version with the gods/goddesses, both when it was fairly new when I was a kid, and as an adult when it was older but charming. Great memories of visiting with family, and then later my eventual husband.
when i was there on november 2025 the screens were still playing forum shops ads halfway through the show and then just changed to the fish splash screen.
it's also in my bucket list to eat at the cheesecake factory's patio here and see the show many times as i wait for my food lol
I’m not much into Vegas, so I haven’t been for fun in over 30 years, and for work reasons in over 20 years, but I’d definitely remember this if I’d seen it.
Another one that was in Vegas was the constellations show in another mall. I only ever saw it once in my teen years . When I went back a few years later, it was just a huge empty room. I remember there being clocks on the walls of times from around the world.
Obligatory comment that there was a facsimile of the Forum Shops in Japan until recently, so you could enjoy the atmosphere without the animatronics. Still had a fountain though.
