Description: Inside of the Bellagio Hotel there are many neat things to fascinate tourist’s interests. My favorite place within the Bellagio is their conservatory. The conservatory consists of a 14,000 square foot room full of living plants, trees and flowers done up to make wonderful displays representing the different seasons and Chinese New Year. Only three trees are permanent fixtures in the conservatory which means everything is replaced when the next exhibit rotates. The floors are made out of small intricate mosaic marble tiles that make up various images throughout the pathways. The outside light filters in from above the conservatory through beautiful etched glass ornamented by decorative green wrought iron. The ambiance within the conservatory usually makes me feel as if I were visiting a Royal Palace and their immaculate grounds.
This year when I visited the conservatory it was much different than it has been in the years past, instead of the focal point being flowers and fountains it was hand made miniature wood buildings with a few trees and plants. There were many different miniature wood structures to see which included replicas of: the Washington D.C. Capital Building, Bellagio Hotel, Smithsonian Castle, Lincoln Memorial, Three Little Pigs Village and of course many others. Train tracks outlined many of these buildings which provided visitors with the feeling that they were overlooking villages and other scenic American destinations.
The conservatory itself requires a staff of 129 to keep it maintained and constantly redesigned. The flowers within the displays have to be watered and changed out continuously in order to keep the displays looking bright and fresh. The Bellagio also has a 27,000 square foot greenhouse on their property which is used as a staging area for their upcoming masterpieces.
In conclusion, the conservatory is a peaceful place to visit and a wonderful place to take remarkable pictures of the amazing work that is on display in Vegas without admission fees.
