Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens Celebrates The Year of the Pig with Stunning Lunar New Year Display
In celebration of the Year of the Pig, Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens has unveiled a captivating Lunar New Year display envisioned by renowned designer Ed Libby in collaboration with the Bellagio Horticulture team and Feng Shui Master George Yau. Each Lunar New Year, Master Yau works alongside Libby and the horticulture team to create a serene environment guided by the ancient practice of Feng Shui – the art of using surroundings to attract harmony, balance and positive life energy.

Represented throughout the display, the theme “East Meets West” is signified by the blending of elements from Asian culture and Western ideology. Designed to bring prosperity and good fortune to all who visit, the gardens radiate hues of red and gold with 32,000 flowers, silk-lantern chandeliers and a special display celebrating Macau, a market with special significance for MGM Resorts as it is home to two of the company’s luxurious international resorts – MGM MACAU and MGM COTAI.
The pig, the 12th animal in the Asian zodiac, serves as a symbol of wealth, honesty and prosperity. Four happy, golden pigs welcome guests in the East Garden as they enter the Conservatory through breathtaking 20-foot jade medallions. Regarded as one of the most valuable and precious stones in Asian culture, jade signifies benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, bravery, honesty and cleanliness. Five pendants crown the top of the pavilion, each decorated with a gilded dragon.
At the center of the Conservatory is a family of pigs surrounded by the riches of nature. Nine piglets are seen frolicking through fields of fruit and corn. Two grand 18-foot cherry blossom trees stand tall on both sides of the garden to symbolize love and passion. Completing the West Garden, two sacred ding pots burn incense to protect against bad fortune.
Nearby, the North Bed depicts notable landmarks of Macau, including the Golden Lotus sculpture. The original sculpture marks the return of the sovereignty of Macau to China, marking its 20th anniversary this year. The display also features the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge, the world’s longest sea crossing connecting Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai. At the left and right of the bed, a representation of the traditional Lunar New Year lion dance brings good luck as children dressed in colorful floral regalia convey joy and prosperity throughout the Conservatory. Whimsical water features draw the elements together with a signature Bellagio touch.
A 32-foot-tall replica of the Temple of Six Banyan Trees, a Buddhist temple in Guangzhou, China, towers over the South Garden closely guarded by two Chinese Fu Dogs. Giant red lanterns strung with fire crackers brighten the gardens overhead while koi fish swim in the tranquil pond below. Children dance on both sides of the bed, holding festive lanterns and fire crackers in celebration of their blessings of the past year and the coming year.
The Conservatory is complimentary and open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Lunar New Year display is open through March 9.

“It’s been a wonderful year and a half and we’ve really been welcomed by the community. Not only by those who were already aware of halotherapy and our services, but also by curious new customers – many of whom tried a salt cave session and keep coming back for more,” said Raffi Mucikyan, owner and operator of Salt Room Henderson. “We love being in Henderson for the locals, but also for those who travel from other parts of town to experience halotherapy and our professional spa staff.

” Salt Room Henderson features a 400 square foot salt cave, with an ornate salt “fireplace” design and a ceiling decorated with salt stalactites and stars. In addition, there is also a large massage room designed for individual or couples massages, as well as a separate room for facial services.

While many Salt Room Henderson customers seek a drug-free, holistic experience for health and skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, and a range of respiratory ailments including sinus infections, asthma, allergies and bronchitis, others simply enjoy the health benefits while relaxing in the cave’s quiet, comfortable chairs and spa-like atmosphere. I recently had the opportunity to visit the salt cave, and with the assistance of a guided meditation, I found the experience to be thoroughly relaxing and therapeutic for both my mind and body.
Salt Room Henderson also offers numerous revitalizing salt-based treatments including facials, full-body detoxifying treatments and massages, day and evening yoga classes for adults and children, as well as by reservation-only classes that include Shamanic drum journeys, Reiki and crystal singing bowls guided meditation.
