Bellagio Las Vegas
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens
Bellagio Las Vegas is a AAA Five Diamond Resort & Casino with a variety of things to do on The Strip including the iconic Bellagio Fountains, Conservatory & Gardens, and "O" by Cirque du Soleil.
Each season, the enormously talented horticulturalists and designers who make up the Bellagio Conservatory team transform this 14,000-square-foot floral playground into a showcase of the distinctive sights and colors of spring, summer, fall and winter—along with a special display for Chinese New Year. When the seasons turn and the displays rotate, 90 percent of the trees, flowers and plants in the conservatory are recycled, to further celebrate our commitment to the earth.
Across the lobby from the front desk is an opening through which a glass ceiling rises up 50 feet. This is the beautiful Conservatory. The ceiling framework and beams are the sculpted green metal of oxidized copper, called verdigris, set in floral patterns.
A horticulture staff of 120 maintains the Botanical Gardens and the entire grounds of Bellagio. The staff has the ability to achieve seasonal designs by selecting flowers that complement the trees, gazebos, bridges and ponds,and can add or remove water features to enhance the seasonal effect.
The Conservatory season starts with Chinese New Year and features traditional designs of the celebration. Spring brings cherry blossoms, while the summer offers flora equally as fragrant. Orange and yellow, brown and gold are used to match the fall foliage. Following Thanksgiving weekend, the gardens are transformed for the Christmas season. Bellagio’s holiday display is one of extraordinary beauty. The wonderful fragrances and magnificent colors of the seasons take over the entire arrival experience. This ever-changing natural display is the single most significant component of Bellagio’s design, fulfilling the promise of creating the most extraordinary hotel in the world.

Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino
WILDLIFE HABITAT AT THE FLAMINGO DESCRIPTION
When a little birdie tells you that there is group of exotic birds in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, you're not hearing a fib. At the Flamingo's outdoor Wildlife Habitat, you can get up close and personal with pink flamingos, exotic ducks, koi fish and so much more.
The Wildlife Habitat may only be a few steps from the hustle-and-bustle of the resort, but you'll feel miles away. With the abundance of trees, grasslands, waterfalls, streams and brooks, you'll feel like you're in paradise. All you're missing is a drink with a little umbrella.
Upon visiting, be sure you have a fully-charged battery (and enough memory) on your camera or phone. With all the different animals dwelling in this habitat, you'll be snapping away like crazy. The bright-pink Chilean flamingos will definitely catch your attention. Native to South America, these flamingos grow to be four feet tall, weighing six pounds. Notice how their knees bend the opposite direction of ours - this allows them to sleep on one leg.
While the flamingos are probably the most recognized animals here, the Wildlife Habitat introduces visitors to a variety of exotic ducks and birds. Not only do these creatures have unique and distinct features, the male ducks are natural romantics. As you walk through the attraction, you'll read on placards that these suave birds have ways to get the ladies.
The habitat also includes the strikingly beautiful hooded merganser, the hybrid whistling duck and the common shoveler. This breed is known to swim in tight circles, making whirlpools to draw food from the bottom of the pond. Seeing the different breeds swim together and gather on the rocks is such a fun sight.
Among all of the birds, you'll also find plenty of fish, like Japanese koi and the Albino Channel (yellow) catfish. Koi fish are popular for their bright and beautiful patterns. With good care, they can live up to 60 years old. The yellow catfish can live well into their 40s. The oldest catfish in this habitat was born in 1996. Turtles show up on the edges of the pond during the warm seasons, but hibernate in the winter months.
While you're here, make sure to read about Bugsy Siegel and his ties to Las Vegas on the hotel's bronze memorial plaque. The plaque is located near the wildlife habitat by the outdoor wedding gazebo.

The Park at ParkMGM
The Park This six-acre outdoor promenade features dining, entertainment and nightlife options with one-of-a-kind art pieces and shade structures to beat the Vegas heat
At The Park, you won't have to worry about anyone fighting over where to eat – that's because everyone will be more than happy to dine here. Simply put, The Park's promenade is not your typical dining experience. The attractive outdoor space offers dining, attractions and entertainment, all rolled into one.
You can't really beat outdoor patio dining, a lively atmosphere and not to mention the Bliss Dance statue. Also, if you're here to watch a concert at T-Mobile Arena, it's only a short walk away.
Whether you're enjoying a fresh stroll or need to sober up by way of a fresh stroll, The Park's outdoor promenade does not disappoint. You'll find hundreds (yes, hundreds) of fully grown trees and flowers, two long water walls and shade structures ranging from 55 to 75 feet tall. These structures light up at night, resembling oversized neon blooms.
If you're already ooh-ing and ahh-ing at that, we're not done yet. The Park's focal point is the Bliss Dance statue. Artist Marco Cochrane got the inspiration from his first Burning Man festival experience. The statue celebrates woman empowerment and freedom. At night, Bliss Dance glimmers in colored LED lights.
The Park may be an outdoor attraction, but with its shade structures, trees, water features and marble ground (a natural cooling material), it'll make those extreme summer temperatures way more bearable. Plus, all the shaded patio dining areas and its super-close location to T-Mobile Arena are reasons alone to hit up The Park.

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas
No trip to Venice — or The Venetian — would be complete without a graceful and romantic glide down the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian gondola. Float beneath bridges, beside cafes, under balconies, and through the vibrant Venetian streetscape as your singing gondolier sweeps you down the Grand Canal for a ride like no other.
Among the many things to do in Las Vegas, stepping back in time and into one of our Old World gondolas is among the most fun and romantic. Surrender to the romance of a live serenade and take in the sights from a one-of-a-kind vantage point as you float along the Grand Canal and under bridges, absorbing the enchanting atmosphere of Las Vegas’ most unique and elegant resort. Or choose the outdoor ride and enjoy an open-air experience right on the Strip.
And if you’re wondering about The Venetian gondola ride, indoor vs. outdoor, don’t worry. Each offers its own unique views, but are equally romantic, enthralling, and worth the price of admission. We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that every gondola ride – whether indoor or outdoor – is full of wonderful moments, perfect for a family photograph album or just a simple posting on social media.
