Well, thank you. Very kind.

Ha, yeah, dragon is a team effort. The dragon suspended on poles.

I had Pizza Hut in London, I think. And McDonald’s wherever it was. When traveling alone, you sort of sometimes want something familiar.

Thanks for leaving a note, and I’m a big fan! (Clearly, since I try to cover each of the seasonal displays as they go live.) I can’t imagine the logistical challenges the team overcomes each time. Keep the magic coming!

Oh well. I’ll continue to spend my money Downtown. Where they still have cheap/good food, better odds and neon.

1) Thank YOU. It’s deeply gratifying to visit these displays, a welcome change of pace from the intense insanity that is the rest of the Vegas Strip.

2) I’m not sure if this also is your team, but I love all the fresh flowers throughout Bellagio’s hallways. Not enough people take the time to notice the arrangements, which seem to get changed out AT LEAST a few times per week.

3) Think about all the smiles you’ve put on people’s faces, the many marriage proposals, the international photos and postcards. I wish my work had that kind of influence on someone’s life. And it’s ironic to get that amount of permanence from an exhibit that constantly reinvents itself in a city that constantly demolishes its history to build something new and shiny.

And to any Conservatory visitors who have stuck around this far into my message — don’t forget to look behind the front desk, where equally whimsical decorations often continue the theme of the Conservatory.

You should be very proud of the work your team does. We love the displays and it contributes so much to elevating the Bellagio from just another casino to a place we really love to stay (5 days and counting!). As long as they let you do it, we’ll keep coming! Thank you for the beautiful work you do!

I have so many questions.
