Why was water spewing from the top of the Stratosphere?

Water is shown pouring from the Stratosphere tower Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015, on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Stratosphere gave the Bellagio water show a run for its money this morning when the Las Vegas fire department, working with the casino’s facility department, tested the water flow at the top of the tower.

Water was seen streaming from the tower and plunging more than 1,000 feet to the ground.

“Everything worked out great and there is nothing to be alarmed about,” said Dale Swangle, manager of the Stratosphere’s mechanical division. “In fact, it was entertaining to witness the display of cascading water down from the pod.”
