Tourists circled the Las Vegas Strip’s impressive Fountains of Bellagio on Tuesday, taking selfies against the lush background of the resort.
What they didn’t know was that they may have gotten an exclusive photo with Las Vegas’ hottest new celebrity — the yellow-billed loon, a migratory bird that has taken up residence in the property’s crystal blue waters.
After learning about the situation, MGM Resorts International briefly put its famous fountain show on pause while officials figured out how to proceed, a spokesperson told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Nevada Department of Wildlife captured the bird early Wednesday and relocated it to a more remote location where officials hope it will continue its migration.
