The Palazzo Celebrates Holiday Season with Arctic-Inspired Winter December 10, 2009
While guests of The Palazzo Las Vegas will enjoy the usual sunny weather for the holiday season from December 9 through the New Year they'll also encounter the winter decor display anchored by aa special Arctic visitor: a 16-ft tall polar bear mother and 6-ft tall polar bear baby, made entirely of a specially -developed white poinsettia named "Polar Bear."
The "polar Bear" Poinsettia is developed exclusively by Ecke Ranch. The strong white coloration of the "polar Bear" Poinsettia with its bracts of deep green veining is the perfect topiary fur for the polar bear display. The custom, hand-sculpted and hand-painted heads and paws, constructed by Design Solutions (Stephen Stefanou, designer) bring the bears to life. The mother and baby bear, consisting of approximately 10,000 poinsettias planted in sphagnum moss, weights in at approximately 5,000 lbs. The bears snuggle on a custom-sculpted 'arctic ice float' that hovers over a water feature located at The Palazzo Atrium.
In addition to the larger-than-life polar bears, The Palazzo embraces the holiday season with Arctic-inspired decor elements that combine to create the breathtaking winter wonderland display. The gardens are filled with a variety of unique poinsettias and 25-ft silver tip pine trees; an 80-ft whimsical vine transitions to holiday with oversized pine cones, holiday berries, poinsettias and twinkling holiday lights; over 225,000 cranberries donated by Ocean Spray float above a water feature creating a sea of cranberries an snow will elegantly fall from above the decor adding to the Arctic theme.
