A colorful tapestry of holiday sights and sounds awaken guests senses at Bellagio Las Vegas, especially at the newly installed Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Designer Ed Libby and Bellagio’s Horticulture team, bring the Conservatory to life with colorful floral arrangements and festive holiday theme-decor for all to see now through January 4, 2025.
“This year’s theme offered us a special opportunity to create an experience that brings out the nostalgia of the holidays,” said Libby. “By blending iconic holiday elements with a comforting, dream-like atmosphere, we’ve crafted a display that even the most sophisticated adults can enjoy with childlike wonder. I feel this is our most traditional, quintessential holiday Conservatory ever - it's designed to evoke warmth, joy and the unmistakable spirit and emotions of the season.”
Guests take selfies near the slowly spinning three-horse vintage-style carousel. Nearby is a stunning 42-foot holiday decorated tree with a sparkling Swarovski star at the top. Below are 10,000 mini-LED lights and 8,700 ornaments.
Spectacular crystal chandeliers glow softly overhead. Their cascading tiers are adorned with detailed metalwork, exuding grandeur into the garden area.
Twas...was inspired by the classic holiday poem 'A Visit from St. Nick' by Clement Clarke Moore. It took 80 Bellagio team members to create these endearing scenes about a story of giving, tradition and family.
There are 41 fresh-cut Silvertip trees and 20,000 brightly colored Poinsettias throughout the room. These bright red, pink and yellow flowering plants represent love, hope and prosperity.
Elegantly draped LED screens display captivating winter scenes. The bespoke holiday inspired soundtrack heightens the experience for guests of all ages.
Water used in Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens comes from on-site underground wells that use rain and recycled water from the resort. This avoids the use of municipal potable water. The water in the Conservatory is also recycled throughout the exhibit and reused at the resort. It's part of MGM Resorts International’s overall sustainability commitment.
The eye-catching gilded red, 21-foot tall sleigh near the center of the room is filled with elegantly wrapped gifts. It's pulled by two festively decorated and handsomely dressed reindeer awaiting their gift delivering expedition.
Another star in this beautiful garden is the 27-foot tall, Bellagio Bear named Drum Major Dolly. Dressed in a ceremonial red uniform with gold tassels on her shoulders, Dolly plays along to the music of the season.
The grand 18-foot-tall gingerbread house dazzles one's senses with ruby red hearts and snow-like icing. One detects the pleasing aroma of gingerbread and sweetness while walking around the house adorned with a Bellagio 'B'. Peek inside the window to see this spectacular Gingerbread display is lit from within.
The scent of a Sugar Plum Fairy-scented candle is available for guests to purchase as a keepsake from the Giardini Garden Store.
