Back of House: by Jacqueline Y. Metcalfe
Among the many sights and sounds of the Las Vegas strip, few have captured the hearts and imaginations of locals and tourists alike as Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens.
Even with its entertainment, sumptuous culinary delights and voluptuous Tuscan architecture, the claim to fame of Bellagio seems to be its emphasis on the intrinsic pleasure of nature's beauty.
The crowning achievement is the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. One not be a plant lover or flower expert to appreciate and be seduced by the beauty and artistry of these gardens. this is the height of nature, theatre and art coming together to form a completely soul-stirring experience. The mastermind behind this masterpiece is Audra Danzak, Director of Horticulture for Bellagio who collaborates with Stephen Stefanou of Design Solutions of Dallas, TX.
"People are amazed by the sheer abundance of flowers," Danzak hypothesizes. "It's so much more than just a lot of flowers though. It's the way they're selected, the way they're designed, the different texture, color--again, it's what you're trying to say." When all is said and done, Bellagio's Conservatory & botanical Gardens set the stage for a show filled with the art, beauty, theatrics and sensory-pleasing kind of entertainment that only nature can provide.
