Winter Wonderland

Adorned with 2,500 ornaments and 7,000 LED lights, a 42-foot white fir towers over Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens this winter. This year’s attraction has Her Majesty Queen Bellissima and her elves preparing for the holiday season among garden beds of poinsettias and a variety of flowers. The “Making Holiday Memories” winter display includes a horse-drawn carriage, toy soldiers, a train and polar bears. Free viewings are available 24 hours a day through Jan. 4. For details, visit bellagio.com.
