This summer, Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens has transformed into a tropical paradise where exotic wildlife, lush greenery and vibrant florals bring the beauty of the jungle to life. Open through September 12, Paradise: Nature’s Most Beautiful Creations combines cascading vines, towering palms, tranquil waters and larger-than-life animal sculptures to capture the majesty and elegance of the wild.
Imagined by designer Ed Libby and brought to life by Bellagio’s Horticulture team, the display celebrates the jungle and its diverse inhabitants while immersing guests in the sheer scale and artistry of the Conservatory. New this season, the Conservatory debuts The Watering Hole, its first-ever nightly cocktail experience featuring a curated three-course journey with handcrafted cocktails and small plates served amid the beauty of the gardens.
“Paradise invites guests on an unforgettable journey into an enchanting jungle world unlike anything we’ve created before,” said Libby. “From a spectacular 40-foot-tall treehouse soaring above the Conservatory to majestic animals, stunning botanicals and epic artistry at every turn, the sheer scale of the experience is truly breathtaking. The exhibit allows visitors to leave the everyday behind and step into a captivating summer journey inspired by the beauty, mystery and excitement of the natural world.”
West Bed
Magnificent elephants gather beside a watering hole in the West Bed, symbolizing wisdom, memory and deep connection amid dense greenery. Hidden among the foliage, playful monkeys swing through the canopy while tree frogs emerge between the leaves, creating moments of surprise throughout the bed. Rising above the jungle scene, The Garden Table offers a lantern-lit dining retreat surrounded by layered greenery, wildlife and reflective pools.
North Bed
In the North Bed, tigers wrapped in florals move through the jungle with quiet intensity, embodying strength, confidence and untamed beauty. At the heart of the scene, a magnificent 22-foot tiger lounges peacefully amid the foliage, having found a moment of rest within this lush oasis. With a gentle yawn and not a care in the world, the regal creature serves as a reminder that even in the midst of Las Vegas’ bold energy, moments of tranquility can still be found. Nearby, an energetic tiger cub explores its surroundings, playfully leaping toward cascading water, while colorful toucans perch among palm trees, bringing bursts of color and contrast to the bed.
East Bed
The East Bed celebrates connection and natural beauty through a majestic lion and playful cub resting among flowering beds and greenery. Framed by florals, the lion’s commanding presence anchors the space while the cub brings a sense of movement and wonder to the scene. Nearby, flamingos add flashes of pink beside reflective waters, while oversized passion flowers bloom beneath jungle canopies, creating a peaceful setting where nature’s power and elegance coexist.
South Bed
Towering giraffes welcome guests into the South Bed, where cascading greenery, vibrant blooms and blue herons create a tranquil jungle setting. Standing beside the giraffes, the herons symbolize patience, wisdom and quiet reflection. Also located within the South Bed, The Watering Hole invites guests into Bellagio Conservatory’s first-ever nightly cocktail experience.
