The Bellagio is quite spectacular on the outside and inside (until you get to the rooms then you have to read my review for that). I am a big plant lover, tree hugger, exotic flora collector... whatever you want to call me. The one thing I really wanted to do in Vegas was stay at the Bellagio and see what all the hype was about regarding the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Let me start off by saying that I went during their Christmas set up. They had a huge Christmas tree, polar bears made completely of flowers and lights that lit up every corner of the exhibit. It was truly breathtaking. I really wish I could have seen it in it's normal display.
They have every color of poinsettias that you can imagine laid out to make up the floor. Each morning, you see teams of 3 - 4 people who are out there with their carts of fresh flowers replacing anything that even hinted at wilting. Very spectacular... however I did expect it to be bigger that what it was.
