The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas has an enchanting Italian summer display that’s on view until September 9, 2018.
I was recently on vacation in Las Vegas with my sister and our respective spouses, and my sis, who was staying at the Bellagio insisted I come by her hotel and see this brand new installation that had just opened. It was so magical and had everyone oohing and aahing. People were lining up everywhere to have their photos taken, and the soothing sound of the water fountains created an atmosphere that made it hard to leave. All of this was happening under the glass canopy of their Conservatory, which absolutely glowed during our late evening visit.
To quote the Bellagio: Envisioned by designer Ed Libby and Bellagio’s Horticulture team, the seasonal exhibit takes visitors on a tour of Italy with elaborate fountains, ornate crystal chandeliers and trees overflowing with lemons. Titled “That’s Amoré,” the display evokes romance at every turn by paying homage to the captivating beauty that can be found throughout Italy.
The exhibit boasts 57,000 flowers and took 125 team members to build. It includes a 40 foot long fountain, a massive 22 foot high vine covered fountain in tribute to the Fontana dell’Ovato, a four-tiered 8 foot fountain, ornate crystal chandeliers, and trees over flowing with lemons. All of this magic takes place in the their Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. I’ve seen many installations here, and this is by far one of my favorites. It’s such a great way to give back to the community, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting Las Vegas.
