Chinese Horse
                           
Several times a year, this beautiful mosaic tiled Chinese horse stands majestically inside the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. More than eight feet tall, it is comprised of thousands of hand applied mirrored tiles less than a 1/2 inch square. The 18-foot high ceiling directly above this exquisite horse is a 2,000 square foot coffer filled with the most extraordinary glass sculpture, a chandelier called Fiori di Como by the world famous sculptor Dale Chihuly. This ceiling sculpture is composed of over 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers.
