The true centerpiece of the display was a 45-foot tall Yule tree decorated with a spectacular arrangement of sparkling mirrors, gold and red ornaments. Poinsettias, cyclamen and hydrangea add color under the tree.


Next time you?EUR??,,????'???re in Vegas, walk into the Bellagio. Just past the lobby lies the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, a kaleidoscope of exotic plants and blooming flowers tuned to the season.

During the Christmas season, the gardens displayed “Winter Wonderland,” 10,000 plants, 500 shrubs and 40 trees intricately woven over a display of 13,500 square feet. It only required a staff of 100 horticulture employees to pull it off.

As spectacular as this was, Vegas, the show capital it is, added sound, coordinating lights and cascading fountains for good measure. Part of the show involved three ?EUR??,,????'??polar bears?EUR??,,????'?? (6-12 feet tall) constructed of 25,000 white carnations, with giant ice-crystals reflected the sunlight, suspended from above and across the water.

We can hardly wait to see the conservatory?EUR??,,????'???s spring display.
