The Bellagio Conservatory is taking a walk on the wild side with its new display, “Jungle of Dreams.”<\/p>\n

The seasonal display features 28 animal sculptures and nearly 10,000 plants and flowers.<\/p>\n

There’s fauna to fawn over and flora galora, so let’s dive into the Conservatory’s whimsical new exhibit.<\/p>\n

If you really want that flower, you have to pry, mate!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The animal kingdom is teeming with inspiration, at least until humans ruin everything, and the collection of beasts at Bellagio takes full advantage of the diversity of wildlife on Earth.<\/p>\n

The East Bed of the Conservatory is the first guests encounter if they come in the main entrance. There are four giraffes and a gazebo. The gazebo is decorated with pineapples, which Bellagio says is a “symbol of hospitality in international cultures.” We’re pretty sure Bellagio is making a play for customers at The Cal and Main Street Station, but that’s just speculation.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Adult giraffes get about 30 minutes of sleep a night, which explains why you’ve never seen one solve a word jumble puzzle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the top of the food chain is the “King of the Jungle,” despite the fact everyone knows lionesses do most of the heavy lifting in lion prides.<\/p>\n

The Conservatory’s West Bed (the section of the display farthest from the entrance) features a 20-foot-tall lion with a nine-foot-tall cub at its side.<\/p>\n

The tallest lion is made from grass seeds, cut oat, wheat and barley seeds. So, basically, if you bake the lion, it’s a breadstick. If you let it ferment, it’s beer.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The lions are a focal point of the Conservatory’s summer display. You know, the mane attraction.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nearby, there are two colorful flamingos. It’s wonderful to see two competing casino brands (the MGM Resorts logo is a lion, Flamingo’s logo is, well, a flamingo) making nice for the tourists.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ironically, you can see flamingos at Bellagio, but not at Flamingo. Here’s why<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This part of the exhibit also has a waterfall, a toucan, parrots and an awesome treehouse, complete with furniture and other furnishings. Let’s just say the horticulture team at Bellagio puts a of time and thought into these displays.<\/p>\n

\"\"
That is an impressively large pecker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Specifically, Bellagio says it took 10,000 person hours to create the “Jungle of Dreams” display.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We would love to live in this treehouse despite the giant hole in the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The North Bed (which we refer to as “the casino side”) has an impressive collection of beasts as well.<\/p>\n

This section has a number of monkeys, along with a boat called the Monkey Business.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Given our newest plague is called Monkeypox, monkeys could use a little positive P.R.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the monkeys is wearing a Thai crown for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Thai crowns are all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are also blue herons. Herons aren’t typically blue, but these are blue because they’re holding their breath waiting for you to laugh at our Monkeypox joke.<\/p>\n

There’s also a jaguar resting on a branch thinking about firing his manager because he doesn’t have a sweet nickname like “King of the Jungle.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
Jaguars are crepuscular, which means, “Brits pronounce this animal’s name with three syllables for some reason.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The North Bed has what we think are some new technological enhancements, large video screens. You can see the screens in this quick walk-through of the summer 2022 display at Bellagio.<\/p>\n
