As more consumers seek Instagram-worthy moments, The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens unveiled one of Las Vegas’ most exclusive, immersive dining experiences with the debut of The Garden Table.
Available for brunch or dinner, The Garden Table invites guests to enjoy an epicurean adventure at a table set within the spectacular beauty of Bellagio's stunning floral masterpiece.
Specialty pre-fixe menus – crafted by the award-winning teams at MICHAEL MINA Bellagio and Sadelle's Café – feature fare to delight all the senses.
“The Bellagio Conservatory is one of Las Vegas' most visited and most photographed attractions,” said Bellagio Vice President of Food & Beverage Josef Wagner. “We wanted to create an entirely new and immersive way for our guests to experience the beauty of this space. The sights, sounds, colors and energy of the Conservatory, combined with chefs Michael Mina and Mario Carbone curating the culinary journey, make for an epic experience that only Bellagio can deliver.”
The inaugural Garden Table currently sits within the Conservatory’s summer display, called “Jungle of Dreams,” and pays homage to the animal kingdom with 28 animal sculptures and close to 10,000 plants and flowers. The stunning work of art takes guests on a journey through a magical place with moments of discovery and whimsy around every corner, as majestic animals gather to celebrate the coronation of the king of the jungle.
Highlights include fanciful pink flamingos, ornate blue parrots, monkeys, blue herons, giraffes and a 20-foot-tall lion, along with a theatrical soundtrack of bird, cricket and wind sounds that add a layer of surprise and delight to the entire experience.
“Jungle of Dreams” is on display at Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens through Sept. 10.
Guests of the unique Garden Table experience will indulge in a multi-course feast, and they can opt for either dinner by MICHAEL MINA Bellagio or brunch from Sadelle's Café.
