NEW YORK, Aug 08, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Games, a spectacle that promises to be unrivaled in Olympic history, gets underway today, 8/8/08.

With an estimated $300 million budget, a seemingly never-ending cast of 15,000, and a fireworks display that's rumored to be the biggest in history, the Bird's Nest, home to the opening ceremonies, will redefine Olympic spectacle.
