if you love glass, you probably love chihuly. unless you're some new breed of snob that i've not yet encountered.
this gallery is so much fun! the hostess is friendly and incredibly informative. she also encourages you to take pictures! it's a nice, intimate space for you to feel like a bull in a mortgage-park-place-if-you-slip-and-fall china shop. there are some very cool works in here, including some of his paintings (a couple of which are backlit and very cool).
as far as i know, there are only two chihuly retail stores. you should definitely make time to walk through here if you're taking a trip to vegas!
