Bellagio Hotel & Spa

Across the lobby from the front desk is an opening through which a glass ceiling rises up 50 feet. This is the beautiful Conservatory. The ceiling framework and beams are the sculpted green metal of oxidized copper, called verdigris, set in floral patterns.

A horticulture staff of 120 maintains the Botanical Gardens and the entire grounds of Bellagio. The staff has the ability to achieve seasonal designs by selecting flowers that complement the trees, gazebos, bridges and ponds, and can add or remove water features to enhance the seasonal effect. 

The Conservatory season starts with Chinese New Year and features traditional designs of the celebration. Spring brings cherry blossoms, while the summer offers flora equally as fragrant. Orange and yellow, brown and gold are used to match the fall foliage. Following Thanksgiving weekend, the gardens are transformed for the Christmas season. Bellagio’s holiday display is one of extraordinary beauty. The wonderful fragrances and magnificent colors of the seasons take over the entire arrival experience. This ever-changing natural display is the single most significant component of Bellagio’s design, fulfilling the promise of creating the most extraordinary hotel in the world.

Bellagio Conservatory

Each season, the enormously talented horticulturalists and designers who make up the Bellagio Conservatory team transform this 14,000-square-foot floral playground into a showcase of the distinctive sights and colors of spring, summer, fall and winter—along with a special display for Chinese New Year. When the seasons turn and the displays rotate, 90 percent of the trees, flowers and plants in the conservatory are recycled, to further celebrate our commitment to the earth.

Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens welcomes winter with a holiday display rich in nostalgia. The 2018 Holiday exhibit is titled "Majestic Holiday Magic". As you enter the 14,000-square-foot botanical garden, you will immediately be awed by more than 28,000 fragrant fresh poinsettias and thousands of twinkling lights, as you are welcomed by Queen Bellisima, who take guests on a journey into her enchanted icy kingdom.

To the south you'll see the queen's favorite family of playing arctic Polar bears, adorned with thousands of white carnations. The North Garden features the queen's castle, which stands at a height of 30 feet and guarded by her majestic rotating soldiers.

At the heart of the West Garden is a majestic 42-foot White Fir tree, decorated with 7,000 warm white LED twinkling holiday lights and adorned with 2,500 colorful ornaments. Next to the holiday tree stands the 18-foot-tall ice princess Queen Bellisima, wearing her holiday best.
