That reminder? They set the Bellagio fountains on fire. To build some buzz for the show’s already [buzzworthy return](http://time.com/5501931/game-of-thrones-teaser-bran-stark/), _Game of Thrones_ left Westeros for the Las Vegas, taking over the world-famous Bellagio Fountains to put on a special show. Fans lined up around the landmark to watch as winter came to Las Vegas. As tourists gawked, Lake Bellagio transformed into an 800-foot-long water wall, rising up to remind fans of the wall that was meant to keep the White Walkers out of Westeros. The jaw-dropping wall of water became a canvas as the imaginative creators projected falling snow, the infamous _Game of Thrones_ logo, and filled the night with silhouettes of the dragons breathing orange and blue flames. The Night King even made an appearance and water jets formed the shape of a crown and throne, setting the stage for the final showdown for the Iron Throne. It was all set to a soundtrack created by the show’s award-winning composer Ramin Dhawadi. That wasn’t the end of the spectacle, though. For the first time in hotel history, the water was set on fire, [_The Associated Press_ reports.](https://apnews.com/9e167acf97e04d67899017460bdd2b45) The special fountain show will go off nightly through April 13, the night before the series premieres its [eighth and final season](http://time.com/4913247/game-of-thrones-season-8-premiere-date/) on April 14. ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [00:05] After a nearly 20 month hiatus, Game of Thrones is set [00:08] to return for it's eighth and final season on April 14th. [00:11] As the highly anticipated conclusion draws near, [00:13] predictions about how the show will end are flying [00:14] Throughout Game of Thrones' eight year run, the [00:18] central question has always been, who will end up on [00:20] the Iron Throne? Some fans predict that the final [00:23] season will actually conclude with either the literal or [00:25] figurative destruction of the throne. When all is said [00:29] and done, is it possible than no one, and we don't [00:31] mean Arya, will rule over the Seven Kingdoms? If the [00:33] throne is still standing at the end of season eight. [00:36] There are a number of remaining power players who [00:37] can still win it. While Cersei Lannister currently wears [00:42] the crown, there are several prophecies that seem to [00:44] be working against her, including Maggy the Frog's [00:47] prediction that another, younger, more beautiful queen [00:50] will come to cast her down and take all she holds dear. [00:52] That certainly sounds a lot like Daenerys to us, but [00:55] both Sansa and Arya Stark have a score to settle with [00:57] Cersei as well. Meanwhile, Red Priestesses of the Lord [01:00] of Light have declared both Daenerys and Jon to be [01:02] the Prince Who was Promised, a prophesied savior who [01:07] is the reincarnation of legendary hero Azor Ahai. Who [01:09] is destined to lead the people against the darkness, [01:11] which we can only assume is a reference to the White [01:13] Walkers. [ MUSIC ] While, the common interpretation of [01:16] the prophecy seem to make John the more likely [01:20] candidate. Daenerys' right hand woman, Lassonde [01:21] pointed out that the word, Prince, is considered [01:23] gender neutral in high Valerian. [ MUSIC ] Meaning, [01:27] the proper translation is the Prince or Princess, who [01:30] was promised. This is an important distinction. [01:32] Especially, considering that some fans believe, there's [01:35] evidence to believe The Mother of Dragons is actually [01:37] the chosen one. But, hold up, what about the Knight [01:40] King? If neither John nor Danny manages to take down [01:45] the later of the Night Walkers who is now in possession [01:46] of his very own ice dragon, another popular theory [01:50] suggests that Bran Stark will try to use his time [01:53] traveling abilities to prevent the Children of the Forest [01:55] ever creating the Knight. That seem somewhat unlikely, [01:59] considering the former three eye raven's plain that the [02:01] past is already written, the ink is dry. Ultimately no [02:05] matter who ends up on top when season eight comes [02:07] to a close, it seems all but certain that at least some of [02:10] our favorite characters Characters will be lost along the [02:12] way. This is Game of Thrones after all.
