When Steve Wynn thought about building the Atrium at the Mirage and wanted to do something bigger and better, the botanical gardens at the Bellagio was a smart idea since no other casino offers this besides the Wynn and Encore before ty were built.
The beauty and ambiance of the conservatory is just breath taking and the smell of the flowers is just a breath of fresh air when walking from the casino.
Every year they set up a new display for the season or special holidays like:
*Independence Day
*Spring
*Summer
*Fall
*Winter
*Memorial Day
*Christmas
Every new display has different sets of flowers and attractions and sometimes live birds. Whenever I see the ferris wheel in display, I always thought it was a ride but it wasn't. =\
Around the Conservatory is the Bellagio Cafe Northwest of the display, the Conservatory store which just north right by the restaurant and to the left is the entrance going to the coffee shop, the Spa Tower and straight towards Aria and Vdara.
This place is always crowded during the day time mostly by tourists taking lots if pictures. During the late evening the crowd lessens and there is more free space for Bellagio guests to roam around and smell the flowers and relax by the water fountain while eating a cup of gelato.
