Bellagio’s Opens “Autumn Majesty: A Glamorous Harvest” to Public

Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens has opened “Autumn Majesty: A Glamorous Harvest”, designed by Ed Libby. With the help of the Bellagio’s Horticulture team, Libby has transformed the Conservatory into an immersive autumn-hued traipse through the season, as depicted by five unique scenes. The displays feature 700,000 autumn leaves, 31,000 fresh cut carnations fashioned into mushroom topiaries, a massive pumpkin weighing over 660 pounds and more. “Autumn Majesty: A Glamorous Harvest” is on display now through November 8th. 

“Designing the fall display meant more than celebrating the harvest season – it was about creating a world where guests can fully immerse themselves in the magic of autumn,” said Libby. “Every detail was carefully crafted to spark joy, ignite the imagination and invite visitors to pause and savor the pageantry, glamour and fleeting beauty of this special time of year.”

The Design

North Bed

The North Bed is a mushroom forest devoted to a royal frog family. At its center sits Queen Lilybrook, a stunning orange and black frog. Around her are poppy and mushroom-shaped topiaries constructed from fresh flowers. Behind the North Bed, a series of LED screens adds bright color and movement, which pair nicely with the enjoyable sounds and the seasonally-appropriate signature fragrance of fresh apple cider. Guests can take home the experience by stopping at the Giardini Store for a “Glamorous” apple cider candle. 

East Bed

A 23-foot pumpkin palace featuring the hotel’s signature script B is the focal point of the East Bed. Herein, intricate metalwork is juxtaposed with stained glass dragonflies and glittering gold leaves. Orange, burgundy and brown hues adorn this garden’s floor and cattails reach toward the sky. Pumpkin fountains fill the sparkling pond.

South Bed  

A family of owls find respite in a cozy 16-by-16 foot pumpkin house in the South Bed. Above, birch branches extend and beautiful dragonflies soar in the sky. Crotons, Heuchera, Coleus, Chrysanthemums and hundreds of gourds and pumpkins make up the landscape. The serenity of this garden is completed by accents of mushroom lanterns and babbling fountains. 

West Bed 

An enormous 37-foot tree reaches across the West Bed and embraces a moss-covered treehouse. In the garden’s center, Colossus – inspired by Roman god Bacchus – stands with an abundant cornucopia overflowing into the pond below. Nearby, The Garden Table is tucked inside a stunning emerald pumpkin. 

The Garden Table

At the heart of the Conservatory, guests can experience an exclusive dining experience at The Garden Table. Brunch service is provided by Sadelle’s for $145 per person. Dinner is served by MICHAEL MINA Bellagio for $195 per person. Reservations are required for The Garden Table and can be made by calling 702.693.7075 or visiting the website.

A Focus on Sustainability

As part of MGM Resorts International’s sustainability commitments, Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens prioritizes sustainability practices. The water in the Conservatory comes from on-site underground wells filled by rain and recycled water from the resort. The Conservatory’s water is also recycled throughout the exhibit and reused at the resort. Once the display is taken down, botanical materials that are not viable are collected by a local composting facility. This practice helps thousands of pounds of waste from entering local landfills and instead helps improve the region’s soil, air and water quality. 

Visits

Visiting Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is free to the public and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To learn more, please visit https://bellagio.mgmresorts.com.
