Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is a must see in Las Vegas. They decorate the gardens with a different theme during the Lunar New Year, Springtime, Summertime, Harvest-time, and most famously, during the Holiday season.

If you are planning to visit the Bellagio, keep in mind their dark dates. The photos were taken in February 2021, the year of the Ox.

The Bellagio Gardens is a beautiful 14,000-square-foot Botanical Garden. It reminds me of Munchkinland from the Wizard of Oz with all of the beautiful colors and flowers.
