Hotel Bellagio, LV - Ceiling detail - IMG_0477
Dale Chihuly: "Steve Wynn started talking to me about the ceiling at the Bellagio long before construction even began. He wanted me to make a “spectacular” piece in the lobby of the hotel that would rival the aquarium at the Mirage, and generate more interest. Back in Seattle, we built the entire seventy-by-thirty-foot ceiling, full-scale, at my studio. The commission, as contracted, called for a whole new armature type and about a thousand new “flowers.” Steve visited several times, loved it, and wanted even more glass. Finally FIORI DI COMO was installed with over two thousand handblown glass elements."

This HAS to be a Dale Chihuly glass exhibition! I love his work! Where was the show in Las Vegas? I would have liked to see him and the exhibition credited.
