Guests performers who joined the grand celebration were the international pop music sensation Robin Thicke, World of Wonders, Asia's Got Talent contestant Gerphil Flores and the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra.
Free shuttle service was provided from SM MOA, in front of Pet Express which took us directly to Okada Manila. The bus was fully air-conditioned, with CR and each seats were equipped with a tablet loaded with movies, songs and games and can be switch to either English or Chinese language. It only took us around 5 minutes to reach Okada from MOA and the shuttle dropped us at the Fountain foyer.
We went through security checks before entering the building and they even had an X-ray machine, for the bags. We presented our e-tickets and we were given an Okada commemorative token.

The event started around 7:45PM which is 45 minutes late from the scheduled time. I was a bit disappointed, knowing that it's a Japanese-owned company, I was expecting that the show will start at exactly 7:00PM. Also the stage was located on the other side of the fountain and only facing the VIP's. Well, we only had a GA ticket so who am I to complain.
The show started with a performance from Gerphil Flores, she sang a couple of opera songs. Next was the The World of Wonders then last was Robin Thicke. He sang some of his songs including the famous Blurred Lines.
The last part and the highlight of the night was the unveiling of the grand multi-color dancing fountain in Adele's Set Fire to the Rain song, it is the world's largest multicolored dancing fountain. It was indeed spectacular and truly amazing. We were all amazed and entertained. The fountain is as expensive as 50 Olympic-size pools and costs US$30 million, surely competes those in Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Las Vegas Bellagio. It is equipped with advanced underwater robots, more than two thousand lights, dozens of Hi-Fi speakers and more than 700 high-power jets that can shoot water behind the height of the Okada Manila building.
After almost 2 minutes of fountain show the event ended with a fireworks display. The sky was illuminated with elegant and jaw-dropping fireworks, what an extravagant way to cap the show off.
After the show, we went inside the Casino to have a look and play some games. Before entering the Casino, the security officer stopped me and asked for my age. When I told him how old I am he didn't believe me and asked for a valid ID with my birth date on it, haha. Do I look like a 16 year old kid? But anyhow I took it as a compliment, haha at least I know that I look younger than my age. We have to be a member first before playing so since membership is free, we decided got ourselves an Okada membership card and since we watched the Fountain show we were given 200 free play for the slot-machines.
