FOX5 Vegas - KVVUChinese New Year celebration underway at Bellagio
Member Center:
Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens invites guests to celebrate the Year of the Dragon during Chinese New Year with a vibrant display honoring the mythical creature that symbolizes good fortune and power.
A serene sanctuary guided by the ancient practice of Feng Shui - the art of using surroundings to attract harmony, balance and positive life energy - is on view through March 4.
For the first time during Bellagio's Chinese New Year display, the Conservatory will feature live entertainment.
The Las Vegas-based "Beijing Trio" will perform traditional folk and pop music with authentic Chinese instruments including the erhu, ruan and pipa.
Complimentary performances take place 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., daily, within the wing-tipped Ming Dynasty-style gazebo in the South Garden, for the duration of the exhibit.
The majestic centerpiece of this exhibit consists of two animated 25-foot, blue Dragons coiled around a cylinder of water.
The entrance of the Conservatory features a 21,000-gallon pond housing more than 200 Koi fish.
The pond is found amidst I-Ching coins and flanked by four Ming Dynasty-style dings, ancestral vessels that protect against bad fortunes.
On display through March 4, the Chinese New Year exhibit within Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is complimentary to the public and open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
