Christmas in the Bellagio Conservatory Gardens

Sam and I stopped in to see Christmas
in the Bellagio Conservatory
Although known for the magnificent fountain
in the lake in front of the casino,
 and just past the hotel lobby
where you see Dale Chihuly's "Fiori di Como"
chandelier
 
there is also a spectacular conservatory.
 
I had a camera phone and took pictures
but I also found some super pics
from other sources on the web.
Most were taken by
Tom Donoghue for the
Las Vegas Sun Newspaper...

 The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens 
 
The grand Christmas tree
 
Beautiful polar bears covered in white carnations
 
 
 
 
Giant mirrored star ornaments
over the bears.
 
 
Animated penguins ice skating.
 
 
 
A Giant rocking horse surrounded by
poinsettias and G gauge trains that travel through
a gingerbread village

Here's a daytime shot of the
train gingerbread village.

A giant ornament rests next to the tree

and giant toy soldiers spin
 
in a field of red and white poinsettias

It was a very beautiful Christmas display.

After the conservatory
we paid a visit to the chocolate fountain
at Jean Philippe Patisserie also in Bellagio.

It's sort of a yearly tradition to visit Bellagio,
the display changes every year and every season.

Here's a pic of the polar bear being assembled.

Have a wonderful Christmas,
