Vegas-born Imagine Dragons have outdone themselves this time.<\/p>\n

The group’s new single, “Sharks,” contains wall-to-wall Vegas and climaxes with the group’s lead singer, Dan Reynolds, surfing the fountains at Bellagio.<\/p>\n

Let’s bite into this sweet new music video from Imagine Dragons!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Yeah, we probably should’ve said “spoiler alert.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Sharks” starts with a hero shot of Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, and just gets more Vegas from there.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We’re finally getting some return for our taxpayer dollars!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The video jumps right into a casino and it appears the Imagine Dragons crew are pulling off some type of “Ocean’s Eleven”-type heist.<\/p>\n

Which has always sort of bothered us. “Ocean’s Eleven” included Danny Ocean, which doesn’t track. The 11 included himself? So, the movie really should’ve been called “Ocean’s 10.” And don’t get us started on why Brad Pitt’s character removed his SWAT team mask in full view of all those casino cameras.<\/p>\n

Moving on!<\/p>\n

\"\"
“Ocean’s Three.” Or possibly two.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the guys poses as a barista to drug a casino security guard (do not actually do this, it’s just a music video), then there’s a diversion in the casino, where an accomplice tosses her chips into the air, causing chaos. If this sounds familiar, that’s because it’s a nod to “Casino.” The chip thrower in “Casino,” of course, was Sharon Stone.<\/p>\n

\"\"
How deep does your Vegas knowledge go? Note the guy looking directly into the camera, a violation of the first rule of movie acting. Who else did that? Ali Pirouzkar, who played the high roller in the Sharon Stone scene in “Casino.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reynolds slips into Bellagio’s back-of-house and dons a name tag we’re sure has some significance we’re missing rather than just being a dick joke.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Yeah, we watched this video far too man times.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then Dan Reynolds, sorry, Dick Dark, rides in an umbrella boat at “O” for some reason.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bellagio: “Yes, you can surf on our fountains, but you have to plug our Cirque show. Deal?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reynolds roams around aimlessly backstage at “O” for a bit, and gets into an elevator. We’re pretty sure the clowns are in on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The clowns from “O” are Leonid and Valery. That will win you a bar bet someday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s at this juncture where we realize we haven’t shared the video yet, so let’s do that.<\/p>\n
