• Mini-shooters, super-shooters and extreme-shooters shoot the water straight up to a height of 100 feet, 240 feet and 460 feet respectively. The mini-shooters, super-shooters and extreme-shooters can fire only for a maximum of seven to eight-30ths of a second. There are a total of 798 mini-shooters, 192 super-shooters and 16 extreme-shooters.

• It would take two major concert venues to equal the speaker output at The Fountains of Bellagio.
