LAS VEGAS – In a spectacular “only in Vegas” moment, Bellagio Resort & Casino made history today as the resort’s new yacht cruised around its world-famous Fountains for the very first time, previewing an exclusive new offering debuting next month with the opening of CARBONE Riviera.
Poised to become one of Las Vegas’ most coveted luxury experiences, the yacht will reimagine one of the city’s most iconic landmarks into an intimate escape, inviting select guests to cruise the lake as the world-famous Fountains dance around them.
Early this morning, the 33-foot Riva “Anniversario” yacht, handcrafted in Italy and one of only 18 in the world, was dramatically paraded down the Las Vegas Strip before being lifted by crane into the resort’s Lago di Como. Named Fortuna, meant to bring good luck and fortune to all who board, the vessel then embarked on its maiden voyage across the Fountains, gliding as the waters danced in celebration to Andrea Bocelli’s Con Te Partirò.
Fortuna’s official launch next month will mark the beginning of a new chapter at Bellagio with the highly anticipated opening of CARBONE Riviera. Created by Major Food Group co-founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick and Rich Torrisi in partnership with MGM Resorts International, CARBONE Riviera is an extraordinary new expression of the CARBONE brand devoted to the art of seafood at the highest level.
