World's Tallest Chocolate Fountain

I never really cared about Las Vegas, even after "Ocean's Eleven" came out. Sure, the Bellagio sounds cool and hip, but what do I care about casinos? Well, I just found out that this is what I care about casinos:




That's right, folks -- it's the World's tallest chocolate fountain at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. I found these photos on Flickr (Thanks, lesliebyk and shookiemookie!). Here are the facts:

• Designed by Montreal artist Michel Mailhot
  
• It's the world's tallest and largest-volume chocolate fountain.
  
• The glass-encased fountain contains about 2,100 pounds of flowing chocolate.
• 6 pumps circulate close to 2 tons of chocolate.
• Over 500 feet of stainless steel piping
• Chocolate circulates at 120 degrees Farenheit.
• 2 years of engineering, planning, and design

Now, scroll back up to those images. You know you want to.
