"In a huge glass dome just past the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel is the Conservatory & Botanical Garden which has 120 horticulturists arranging stunningly beautiful seasonal scenes. These scenes use flowers, plants, trees and constructed pieces, like lighthouses, gazebos and bridges, to create unique visual scenes. Along with the season scenes, the Bellagio also changes the scenes for holidays."
"Did you know there’s a 14,000 square foot botanical garden inside the Bellagio?. Each season, the Horticulture and Engineering team transform the Botanical Garden with beautiful flower displays and colors.

"At the height of the Depression, thousands of men and their families migrated here and worked in excruciating conditions, dangling hundreds of feet above Black Canyon in 120°F (about 50°C) heat to build this massive 726ft-high dam, completed ahead of schedule and under budget in 1936. Ninety-six workers lost their lives building the iconic art-deco styled structure, which redefines the stark landscape.

Visitors will see a massive 15-ton piece of the ship’s hull, amazing replicas of the ship’s Grand Staircase, the promenade deck and passenger cabins. Visitors will also see many items from the ship, its passengers and crew, like plates, jewelry, whistles, currency, luggage, etc."
"We have never really worked out why there is a Titanic Exhibit in an Egyptian-themed hotel in Las Vegas Nevada, none of that really makes ANY sense, But hey this is Vegas, does it have to make sense?. We are keeping this in the museum section despite the fact it’s named “exhibit” as it just feels more Museum-like to us. So, Despite not making sense, the Exhibit is quite fascinating."
"Also located at the Luxor, this exhibition features a collection of artefacts salvaged from the famous ship’s wreckage. Walk through recreations of first- and third-class rooms, or even have your picture taken on a recreation of the Grand Staircase and Promenade Deck.

"To begin with, it was set up on a deserted farm in California and then after some time, the Las Vegas art museum was moved to another place. The Burlesque Hall of Fame appears to have discovered its perfect home in Art Square. The permanent exhibit “Spectacular, Erotic and Slightly Shocking: A Timeline of Burlesque in the United States” takes a historical perspective of the titillating universe of vaudeville, from its initial days in the mid-1900s to the recovery years of the 1990s through today."
"The Burlesque Hall of Fame is the planet’s only museum thatsolely aims to preserve the legacy of burlesque. The collection houses thousands of costumes, props, photos, and other personal effects that document the colorful lives and careers of many burlesque dancers, producers, and comics. The museum’s collection spans from the late 1800s to today and shows the impact that the art form has had on society."
"The Burlesque Hall of Fame provides an inside look at the popular art form of, you guessed it, burlesque!. This Las Vegas museum opened in 1990 in California, but moved to its current home in Las Vegas in 2006. It serves as a tribute to all elements of the art: comedy, theater, dance, music, and costumes."
