Connie and I recently I made another pilgrimage to Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Garden, titled “Chinese New Year, Year of the Dog”. The Conservatory at the Bellagio Casino starts the 2018 season with the Chinese New Year exhibit featuring traditional designs of the celebration, even though the actual Chinese New Year doesn't begin until Feb. 8, 2016. In addition to many of the normal Chinese New Year items such as I-Ching coins, Ding pots, hanging Chinese Lanterns, figurines of Chinese children and the ever gorgeous flowers, there are 18 beautiful dogs celebrating the "Year of the Dog".
