Current exhibit:
Chinese New Year – Year of the Rat
When completing an installation, the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens transforms into a beehive of activity. 
Horticulturists
wearing hardhats and gloves scurry about. Some carry in assortments of
potted flowers from an on-site staging area, others kneel on the floor
planting roses.
But while the show's set up is a sight to see,
the finished product is the real spectacle that draws visitors to the
atrium, located just beyond the lobby at the Bellagio Las Vegas.
 The
change-out, which occurs five times a year, closes off the
13,573-square-foot area to the public for a week, while about 100
people from both the Bellagio's horticulture and engineering
departments work non-stop to execute the seasonal plans, utilizing
cranes and a tunnel system underneath the conservatory.
"We're here for seven days, 24 hours a day," said Tim Hunter, manager of the conservatory. "We work non-stop, around the clock."
The
free seasonal exhibits at the Bellagio Conservatory, including Chinese
New Year, Spring Celebration, Summer Garden Party, Harvest and Holiday,
are on display 24 hours a day, and don’t cut any corners.
