Step into the captivating Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, where each season transforms a stunning space into a floral wonderland, all for free!
"The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens features a dazzling display for the Lunar New Year, celebrating the Year of the Snake. The exhibit includes a 28-foot red-and-gold snake, traditional lanterns, a Koi fish fountain, animated fireworks, and a custom scent. It also showcases pandas, a Banyan Temple, a waterfall, and cherry blossom trees with porcelain sculptures." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.

"The airy central conservatory, which opens up right as you enter Bellagio, was inspired by the verdigris framework of Art Nouveau conservatories of Paris. Even though Las Vegas sits smack in the middle of the Mojave Desert, you can see the changing seasons in all their glory here as the garden transforms five times per year with fresh flowers; towering animatronic butterflies and birds; burbling fountains and bobbing lanterns. Each of its seasonal “theatrical presentations” of the elements is totally new. You'll never see the same things twice. And each is more transporting than the last. It's free, requires no effort to navigate (unless you're trying to elbow your way through all the smartphone-wielding selfie-takers). Locals love it as much as tourists, and it's one of the top free attractions in the city." - Andrea Bennett
"In Las Vegas, special is often synonymous with exclusive — and it doesn’t get more exclusive than an immersive dining experience that has exactly one table. The Garden Table is located inside the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, a seasonally rotating atrium of plants and flowers arranged in dreamy, larger-than-life displays. The private table is available to reserve via phone call for both brunch and dinner. Brunch comes from the adjacent Sadelle’s, with a tower of its fluffy bagels, tender smoked fish, and caviar, and entrees like French toast with berries or salmon Benedicts. Chef Michael Mina’s eponymous restaurant provides dinner, starting with an amuse-bouche of eggs and caviar on toasted brioche with white miso and a dessert of subtly sweet Earl Grey panna cotta. It all pairs beautifully with a backdrop of florals and foliage." - Janna Karel
"The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is probably the best free attraction in Las Vegas; every few months the display changes to create a different ode to the season. This spring, flowers and plants are sculpted to create a high-tea fairy tale. The Garden Table allows you to dine at the single table in the garden. Through 1 p.m., dine with a brunch spread from Sadelle’s with bagels, caviar, French toast, and strawberry cheesecake for $125. Michael Mina provides dinner, a $195 five-course meal starting with slow-cooked eggs and caviar, leading into filet mignon and foie gras, and ending with Earl Grey panna cotta." - Janna Karel
