Celebrate the Year of the Boar at the Bellagio Conservatory
The 2007 Chinese New Year takes center stage in the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens as Bellagio honors the Year of the Boar. Enchanting cultural symbols can be found around every corner. An animated swine playfully snorts and wiggles its nose and ears as visitors pass by, while just steps away, an 18-foot-tall Chinese God of Wealth and Fortune smiles benevolently from atop a gleaming pile of golden coins. In the west garden, a forty foot tall, six-tier pagoda with beautifully sculpted details finished in gold leaf represents a mountain of good ‘chi.’ The ancient art of Feng Shui can be found in practice throughout this dramatic exhibit – from gentle waterfalls which ensure the flow of positive energy to tranquil ponds filled with Koi, a symbol of good luck and everlasting fortune. The Chinese New Year show will be on display January 14 – March 3.


The pix of course are all mine! But thanks to Steve for his descriptions.
