Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens new summer time display takes visitors in to the deep sea with vibrant moments and 1000’s of fresh floral. In view through September 12, the exhibit combines legendary underwater and beach elements including mermaids, sunken ships and sandcastles.
Schools of acrylic seafood and vibrant barnacles look for a home among the cascading down water walls of the multi-tiered, 26-feet tall barrier reef in the western world Garden. Each degree of this magnificent focal point discloses another number of underwater residents. A six-feet animated clam rests underneath the schools of seafood and bunches of colorful barrier, opening every seven minutes to show an illuminated gem behind a curtain of bubbles. A floral ocean turtle composed of red-colored carnations and yellow Fuji mums rests opposite the clam, while soft and delicate jellyfish lightly sway over the garden.
A vintage fisherman’s wharf, appropriately named Pier B, are available in the South Garden beneath extra-large strings of pearls and bubbles. Three children participate in the sand near the pier, each produced with 1,250 fresh-cut flowers including Seafoam Statice, cushion mums, carnations, lavender and baby’s breath. As you child develops a sandcastle replica of Bellagio, others seafood and have fun with beach balls.
A sunken fishing vessel made from teak, mahogany and cedar plank wood is burrowed underneath the sand and flowers within the East Garden. Treasure chests filled with twinkling jewels and riches surround the sunken ship while multiple water fountains mimic the sea current.
Within the North Garden, an attractive mermaid with 1,500 fresh-cut flowers in her own tail sits aside a flowing waterfall. Nearby colorful seahorses of different levels are situated inside the rocky hillside.
Two live 45-minute musical performances will occur daily 4:30 – 5:15 p.m. and 5:45 – 6:30 p.m., filling Bellagio’s Conservatory with types of jazz and symphonic harps.
