"As for your foliage needs, let’s make our way over to the Bellagio Conservatory where throughout the year, hundreds of horticulturists arrange thousands of flowers into the most beautiful and large botanical arrangements in the city. Inspired by various happenings around the world including the Chinese New Year, seasonal trends, fashion and aquatic life, the Bellagio Conservatory is totally free and is a sight that you must see to believe. Just imagine roses of all colors coming together to create an underwater paradise… see, you really do have to come in and see it for yourself."

"Before the Bellagio, not many people in Las Vegas knew what a conservatory was. Today, this beautiful indoor display of horticultural creativity is one of the city's best-known (and free) attractions. As the seasons and holidays change, the staff of the Conservatory swoops in to create sculptures and scenes made with plants, flowers, and other materials."

"The Bellagio Conservatory is a fun Vegas photo spot because the conservatory changes seasonally. That means that you are sure to get a unique photo with the seasonal displays when you visit. Not only was visiting the Bellagio Conservatory one of my favorite things to do in Las Vegas, but it was also one of the more unique spots I’ve ever photographed."

"At the height of the Depression, thousands of men and their families migrated here and worked in excruciating conditions, dangling hundreds of feet above Black Canyon in 120°F (about 50°C) heat to build this massive 726ft-high dam, completed ahead of schedule and under budget in 1936. Ninety-six workers lost their lives building the iconic art-deco styled structure, which redefines the stark landscape. Tours of the dam structure begin at the Hoover Dam Parking Garage & Visitor Center."

"To the immediate south of The Strip, is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics in Las Vegas. The sculptures around the church are truly reflective of man’s ability with stone. Amidst the chaos of the Sin City, this beautiful church offers solitude and peace."

"Another famous and historic piece of architecture by Paul Revere Williams is the Guardian Angel Cathedral, developed in 1961 on land donated by the gangster and casino owner Moe Dalitz, otherwise known as Mr. Las Vegas. When Williams began to work on this unique building, he decided to go with an A-Frame design, giving the church muralist a triangle canvas to paint the Guardian Angel on the outside of the building. You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."

"This church reminds us of the large population of Roman Catholics in Las Vegas, who was instrumental in the formation of this desert paradise. Located within “The Strip”, this church preserves the old Las Vegas in pristine condition, amidst the fast-paced urban developments. This basilica-styled church is famous for its stained-glass mural which depicts the resorts on the Strip in flames and is one of the central churches in Las Vegas."
