Chinese New Year at the Bellagio -- A Garden in a Casino





On Wednesday, Clara and Sheral went to the Bellagio Casino/Hotel, long known for its gardens – an attraction for tourists. They were honoring the Chinese New Year, and here are some pictures – first, the "God of Wealth and Fortune," and second, the Ox. Clara noted that this is especially our year, in that both this year and the year in which we were born are "The Year of the Ox."
I couldn't begin to show all of the pictures Clara took, of all of the various flowers in the garden, but she was especially impressed with the thousands of orchids of many varieties -- in Las Vegas the "Botanical Garden" is in a casino, in order to draw you in.
