The glass sculpture hanging from the ceiling in Bellagio’s lobby was created by sculptor Chihuly, commissioned by Steve Wynn in 1998.
The piece cost $10 million and has been popular since the begining. It is regarded one of the most favorite things to see in Las Vegas by visitors.
The piece covers 2,100 square feet. Some people spend hours sitting in one of the chairs under the sculpture, staring up at it. Others lie down on the floor to comfortably take it all in.
The sculpture consists of 2,000 hand-blown glass blossoms that weigh about 40,000 pounds. They are supported by a 10,000-pound steel armature. Every morning between 2 and 5 a.m., a team of eight to 10 engineers cleans and maintains the sculpture.
