This summer, the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens invite visitors to indulge in a unique gastronomic experience during brunch or dinner amidst the intriguing allure of the surroundings.
The captivating floral exhibition, dubbed “Higher Love,” features an imaginative hot air balloon theme, drawing inspiration from steampunk elements, classical European elegance, the universal theme of love, and the majesty of the natural environment.
On display until August 24, 2024, the stunning organic compositions are the creation of designer Ed Libby, supported by the inventive Bellagio Horticulture team. “We crafted this magnificent display to inspire our visitors to reflect on the uplifting essence of love,” shared Libby. “It is our hope that ‘Higher Love’ will enchant our visitors, as well as instill sentiments of advancement, elation, and solace that are often linked with the richness of the summer season.”
In the West Bed, surrounded by the Conservatory’s splendor, visitors will discover the Garden Table. Guests are invited to step into the gondola of a grand 36-foot hot air balloon, offering a spectacular perspective of the ornate Bellagio Conservatory.
