Along with their stunning conservatory and crowd-pleasing dancing fountains, the Bellagio also boasts one of the most beautiful art installations in Vegas — the wonderful ceiling designed by renowned glass-blower Dale Chihuly. With over 2000 hand-blown elements, “Fiori Di Como” weighs over 40,000 pounds and took 100 artisans to create. The legendary Pacific Northwesterer collaborated closely with Steve Wynn to realize the piece, but one look at the gorgeous ceiling and you’ll know that it must have also required some divine inspiration.
