“When designing this display, our goal was to capture the twinkle, nostalgia and pure enchantment that make this special time of year so extraordinary,” said Libby. “This year’s exhibit invites guests on a heartwarming journey that celebrates the magic of travel, the warmth of connection and the breathtaking beauty of the holidays.”

West Bed
At the heart of the West Bed, a Swarovski star crowns a majestic tree dressed in thousands of miniature LED lights and ornaments. Beneath it, the Peppermint Express miniature train chugs merrily around the tree trunk, complete with a live-feed camera that allows guests to watch its journey in real time. To the left, a festive train overflows with beautifully wrapped gifts as busy elves hurry to deliver toys to good boys and girls. On the right, a gingerbread house adorned with ruby-red hearts and snow-like icing serves as the home to The Garden Table, making its holiday debut. This one-of-a-kind dining experience, tucked within the exhibit, features brunch by Sadelle’s and dinner by MICHAEL MINA Bellagio.

North Bed

The North Bed bursts with the sound and spirit of the season as oversized brass instruments, elegant bells and grand red-and-green drums set a joyful rhythm above a glistening pond fed by gentle fountains. A gilded storybook invites guests into a world of music, memories and holiday spirit, while nearby LED screens come alive with displays of a holiday train departing the snowy North Pole and traveling through festive MGM Resorts destinations before arriving at Bellagio. The sensory journey continues as delightful holiday music and a seasonal fragrance with notes of orange and warm spices fill the air. Bellagio’s bespoke “Bella” holiday candle is available for guests to purchase at the Giardini Store.

East Bed 
New to the East Bed, The Bellagio Express, inspired by traditional train ornaments, is conducted by Elvie the Elf as the locomotive carries larger-than-life ornaments and gifts. Guests can walk through the train itself, following a whimsical, walkable path that winds through the display for an up-close experience. Billowing clouds of baby’s breath rise from the train’s smokestack and fill the air among red and white crystal snowflakes while decorative trees and vibrant poinsettias grace the bed beneath

South Bed 

Guests are greeted by an impressive nutcracker standing proudly at the center of the South Bed, his hat crowned with a golden Bellagio “B.” Surrounding him, four rotating toy soldiers march to the drumbeats of the season, bringing the bed to life with a delightful sense of movement. On the right, Billy the Elf rides a charming white rocking horse that sways gently back and forth. Beneath the twinkle of magnificent bells, shimmering ornaments and beautifully wrapped presents complete the gleeful scene.

The Garden Table

For the first time, guests can experience The Garden Table within the Conservatory’s holiday display. Set inside a charming gingerbread house, the table immerses visitors in the heart of the Conservatory’s festive wonderland, with brunch service from Sadelle’s at $145 per person and dinner from MICHAEL MINA Bellagio at $195 per person.

Reservations are required. To book and find more information, call 702.693.7075 or go online.

Peppermint Express 
The Peppermint Express is back, offering holiday-inspired treats crafted by the Bellagio Pastry Team. Assorted sweets and beverages are available for purchase in the Conservatory alcove behind the South Bed, across from the OMEGA Boutique, from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily. Menu items include holiday cookies, peppermint meringue, chocolate candies, holiday nougat, popcorn, drip coffee and hot chocolate.

Sustainability at the Conservatory 
Water used in Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens comes from on-site underground wells that use rain and recycled water from the resort, avoiding the use of municipal potable water. The water in the Conservatory is also recycled throughout the exhibit and reused at the resort. Bellagio’s water conservation efforts are part of MGM Resorts International’s overall sustainability commitment.

At the conclusion of each display, plants and botanical material without remaining viable life are separated for collection by a local composting facility. The organic waste is made into compost products to help improve the environment. This method of recycling keeps thousands of pounds of waste out of local landfills and turns it into something that improves the region’s soil, air and water quality.

“Designing the fall display meant more than celebrating the harvest season – it was about creating a world where guests can fully immerse themselves in the magic of autumn,” said Libby. “Every detail was carefully crafted to spark joy, ignite the imagination and invite visitors to pause and savor the pageantry, glamour and fleeting beauty of this special time of year.”

West Bed
On the left of the West Bed, a towering 37-foot tree stretches its branches around an enchanting moss-covered treehouse. At the center, a magnificent Colossus – modeled after the Roman god Bacchus – presides over the landscape, presenting an overflowing cornucopia with its bounty cascading into a shimmering pond below. Nestled nearby, a grand emerald pumpkin houses The Garden Table, an exclusive dining experience featuring brunch by Sadelle’s and dinner by MICHAEL MINA Bellagio.

North Bed

The North Bed transports visitors into a mushroom forest, home to a royal frog family. At the bed’s center, Queen Lilybrook, a striking orange-and-black frog, sits proudly on her stone throne. Surrounding the scene, poppy and mushroom-shaped topiaries made of fresh flowers bloom in abundance. Behind the North Bed, LED screens create a backdrop of vivid color and endless movement, complemented by delightful sounds and a seasonal signature fragrance of fresh apple cider. Guests can bring the experience home with Bellagio’s bespoke “Glamorous” apple cider candle available at the Giardini Store.

East Bed 
At the heart of the East Bed rises a spectacular 23-foot pumpkin palace crowned with a shining Bellagio “B,” symbolizing knowledge and exploration. Its gilded canopy shelters guests beneath intricately sculpted metalwork adorned with stained-glass dragonflies and golden leaves. Pumpkin fountains replenish the glimmering pond below, while cattails and rich fall foliage in hues of orange, burgundy and brown spread across the garden floor.

South Bed 

The South Bed features a cozy 16-by-16-foot pumpkin house, providing a haven for a parliament of owls who rest peacefully by a gentle waterfall. Overhead, birch branches draped in autumnal botanicals and graceful dragonflies stretch across the bed. Below, a lush tapestry of Crotons, Heuchera, Coleus and Chrysanthemums create a fall mosaic, while hundreds of pumpkins and gourds scatter across the landscape, representing prosperity and gratitude. Soft radiant mushroom lanterns and trickling fountains complete the serene harvest setting.

Designed to bring surreal art to life, the exhibit blends dreamlike creativity with opulence, sweeping visitors into a world where the extraordinary reigns supreme. Towering topiaries, couture animals and multi-sensory surprises dazzle and disorient, while intricate trompe-l’oeil illusions challenge perception at every turn. Throughout the display, surrealism takes shape in fanciful animal figures adorned in French Renaissance-inspired costuming, adding a whimsical flair to the escape from reality.

“Designing the summer display was more than just creating a beautiful garden – it was about transporting guests into an extraordinary realm where nature and opulence intertwine, surreal art comes to life and elegance blooms with every step,” said Libby. “Each element was chosen to challenge perception and celebrate luxury, imagination and the beauty of summertime.”

West Bed
The West Bed showcases a life-sized chessboard with moss-covered figures poised for a fantastical duel. On the left, a soaring archway crowned with the Bellagio “B” welcomes guests into a fairytale garden, where an elegant pink cockatoo swings gracefully beneath. Inspired by Fragonard’s iconic painting “The Swing,” the cockatoo brings a touch of 18^th-century romance to the scene. To the right, a towering chess piece houses The Garden Table, where guests can indulge in a lavish Sadelle’s brunch or an elegant dinner from MICHAEL MINA Bellagio. Overheard, grand chandeliers illuminate pink botanicals and oversized topiaries that fill the bed below.

North Bed

In the North Bed, two topiary giraffe sisters are joined by Tigress Giovanna, gracefully perched on a swing and dressed in a striking black-and-white haute couture ensemble inspired by the high fashions of the French Renaissance. Nearby, two cherub fountains add a sense of gentle tranquility, while surrounding lavender, pink, blue and white flowers evoke the elegance of classic European gardens. LED screens filled with illusionary art brighten the bed from behind as a harmonious soundtrack and a delicate jasmine scent fill the air. Guests can bring home a piece of the Conservatory with a bespoke candle available for purchase at the Giardini Store.

East Bed 
A captivating gazebo stands at the heart of the East Bed, where pedestal columns support a wrought iron dome adorned with pink and white blossoms. A flock of elegant flamingos wade in shimmering waters surrounding the structure, illuminated by antique-style lanterns embossed with the Bellagio “B” hanging high above. Throughout the bed, lush topiaries and boxwood creations add allure within a landscape.

South Bed 

In the South Bed, zebras Sir Pierre and Lady Colette lounge amidst sculpted greenery. A pirouetting water feature pays tribute to the iconic Fountains of Bellagio, set beneath baroque chandeliers shimmering overhead. Behind the bed, carefully detailed doors invite admiration, framed by an array of pastel botanicals and topiaries of geometric shapes.

The name “The Birds and the Bs” is a playful nod to spring and nature, evoking images of pollination, growth and the vibrancy of the season, while the “Bs” also pay homage to the iconic Bellagio “B” that appears throughout the display, subtly weaving the resort’s signature identity into the garden’s storytelling.
