It’s the Year of the Dog, and the Bellagio Conservatory has not only unveiled another wonderful seasonal display, but it’s also provided an opportunity for this blog to make a gratuitous sexual joke in our headline, so what’s not to love?<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
Behold, the Moon Gate. The slooping roof symbolizes the half moon of Chinese summers. Which would make an excellent porn name, all due respect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Each year, Bellagio pulls out all the stops for Chinese New Year, mainly as a way to kiss up to
\nall the Asian gamblers who frequent the resort.<\/p>\n

For the rest of us, Bellagio’s Chinese New Year display provides a sample the work of some of the most prolific and talented horticulturists in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
People born during the Year of the Dog are said to be honest, friendly, smart and likely to chew your favorite shoes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned, this year’s display features 18 dogs, one of our favorite forms of life on Earth.<\/p>\n

The star of the show is an 18-foot-tall Husky.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
We aren’t entirely sure whether this is a Siberian or Alaskan Husky. We are a blog, not a dog whisperer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Huskies are beautiful dogs, but are bred to run, so can’t be trusted off a leash and don’t particularly make good pets. They also like to chase small animals. They also aren’t obedient.
\nThey also shed a lot. But, again, they sure are beautiful!<\/p>\n

The Chinese New Year display at Bellagio has lots of other enchanting features, including 13
\nChinese lanterns.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
There are three main types of Chinese lanterns: Hanging, flying and floating. Which, coincidentally, are the three ways mobsters would be disposed of in the early days of Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s interesting to note that while 13 is considered in Western cultures, it’s actually good luck to the Chinese.<\/p>\n

Also good luck in Chinese culture are Koi fish. They symbolize perseverance and abundance. And possibly sushi to some people. Let’s not dwell upon it.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
Koi fish are also known as “swimming flowers.” These horticulturalists are smart AF.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The display has ding pots, too. We don’t know what they are, but we sort of like saying “ding pot.”<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
Ding pot. Ding pot. Ding pot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Chinese New Year display at Bellagio Conservatory will be open until Mar. 3, 2018. Next up is the spring exhibit, Mar. 10 to Jun. 2, 2018.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
This is what happens when you have one more photo than photo captions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens remains one of the best free things to do in Las Vegas, so make sure to stop by and rub some bellies. Which is probably frowned upon, and
\nyou’re likely to be wrestled to the ground and tossed out by security, but the stories you’ll tell when you get back home will make it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n
