Bellagio's Botanical Garden

Last night while I was making dinner Ti Tonga was watching the Travel Channel. I glance over to see a beautiful display of Christmas trees and ask, "Wow, is that Disney World?" To which he answers, "Nope, it's the Bellagio." I was so thrilled to discover that the festive display was within driving distance! So today after Mote finished school, we all took a trip up to the Las Vegas strip to visit the Bellagio's Botanical Garden.

I snapped a couple pics with my phone on our way up there. I never get sick of seeing the strip. It's constantly growing and changing.




This will be Ti Tonga's new job site. It's part of the City Center. Should be pretty quick because it's already out of the ground.



After we parked we didn't have to walk too far before we reached our destination. The kids absolutely loved it! And me and Ti were completely blown away. The detail that they put into each of the holiday displays was incredible. I think the kids enjoyed the bridge the most though. It was surrounded by these enormous nutcrackers. And the Bellagio seems to be able to add flair to any form of water! They had water shooting over the bridge, creating arches for you to walk under. I have no idea how they got these fountains to form perfectly without splashing all over the place.



Before we left we stopped by the information area to take a look at their model of the City Center. This is what the finished product will look like. Ti worked a little on the Cosmopolitan building and will soon be working on The Harmon tower.


We went out front after and caught a show of the Fountains of Bellagio. It was a little bit of a wait, but totally worth it! This show never dissappoints!! The fountains danced around in perfect synchronization to Carol of the Bells and Santa Baby.

We finished off our night at Town Square. Our first time there and it was just beautiful! Such a cute scene and very festive. We had dinner at Brio and called it a night. We don't get out very often, so it really was nice to be able to enjoy time together outside of the house. I had so much fun and I think the kids really enjoyed themselves.
