Bellagio Botanical Gardens Spring 2017

Besides Dunkin Donuts (not even kidding here), one of my favorite places to visit when I am in Las Vegas is the Bellagio. Not only are the fountains spectacular, but the conservatory and botanical gardens are amazing!

This year Boyd and I were able to feast our eyes on the Japanese Spring arrangement where there are 65,000 flowers on display.

I hope we can go back and see the other seasonal displays this year. 

So. Much. Fun!

Las Vegas Bellagio at Christmas

Don and I went to Las Vegas over Christmas break. While we were there, we went to the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. The Bellagio creates garden exhibits around holidays and seasons. Everything is created with plants, flowers, trees and other items from nature. The attention to detail is incredible. I've never seen so many Poinsettias in one place. It was magical and I loved every minute of it.

One penguin is holding and reading a set of igloo plans while another puts an ice block in place. Adorable.

Water sprayed from the tops of these huge, shiny ornaments.

Santa's reindeer wrapped up and around the Christmas tree. You can see in the following pictures...



Don thought the reindeer were made out of seashells. I thought they looked like some kind of nuts. It  really doesn't matter what they were made of; they were remarkable regardless!



Check out the ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling.

Poinsettias were everywhere.

Don and (what I like to think is) the Coca-Cola Polar Bear.
