Spring blooms at Bellagio Conservatory
April 14, 2011 - 1:02 am
To celebrate spring, Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens features a floral exhibition filled with bright blooms and a playful carnival scene, on display through May 8.
Four gardens lure guests with scents of tulips, hydrangeas and daisies, while a colorful Ferris wheel, moving carousel and greenhouse full of butterflies add a whimsical touch that catches the eye.
Visitors can stroll along a romantic walkway lined with lampposts and Linden trees. Nearby is a moving 11-foot-tall carousel weighing more than 8,600 pounds and adorned with 330 clear bulbs and colorful acrylic balloons.
Steps away, a 40-foot full-scale Ferris wheel u25B6 decorated with animated lighting, captures the nostalgia and spirit of the spring carnival.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is a stone-based rustic greenhouse that houses more than 500 live butterflies from around the world.
