The Bellagio Conservatory. Spring!

Good afternoon.
Yesterday, we went down to the strip for an afternoon, evening and overnight. We actually stayed 'off' the strip at the Ellis Island Casino/Hotel. Which is a good l-o-n-g block from Las Vegas Blvd. (aka, the strip).  We stayed there because one, it's cheap, and two, it's a Wyndham hotel. It's actually a Super 8. The largest one in the country. I needed 2 more nights before June to get a bonus 15000 points. That will help offset the cost of rooms on my summer trip back to Michigan. And, it's always fun going down to the strip to people watch.
One thing we did was to go to the Bellagio to check out their Conservatory. They change it constantly for the seasons and special holidays.

The giant hand is holding a 'snowball' that's melting giving way to spring.

I'm always amazed at the extensive details that go into each display. There had to be thousands of live flowers throughout this display. It's a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.
Today, we're taking it easy as we stayed up a little late and drank a little too much. It's taking longer to recover than it used to.   :-)
But it was a real nice time and my next post will be some pics I took over at Caesars Palace.
