by I felt that I should share some more Christmas-related contents during that time of the year. Just having visited Las Vegas, my wife and I have been at the Bellagio casino, watching the beautiful Christmas display there. The 2025 display, which runs from 18th November 2025 to 3rd January 2026, is themed as All Aboard for Holiday Bells and Whistles. I felt this is a great opportunity for another Pictured Story.
Bellagio Las Vegas – Location & Transport
The Bellagio is one of the most well-known and traditional casino resorts at the Las Vegas Blvd (or Strip, as you typically call it). Some other very famous places are around as well, e.g. the Paris Las Vegas with the Eiffel Tower replica on the opposite side of the street or Caesars Palace to the North of the casino. The Christmas display is located in the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, which is right next to the reception area.
Typically, if you are in that part of Vegas, you walk in the area. The Deuce bus takes you up and down the Strip, there are bus stops in each direction right in front of the premises. A free and interesting transport is the Aria Express, which connects to the Aria, the Cosmopolitan and the MGM Park.
Views Bellagio Las Vegas
Before I share the Christmas display with you, here are some general views of the Bellagio. The resort has opened in 1998 and comes with a total of 3,933 rooms. There are a lot of posh shopping opportunities – some of them are in the pictures below. The Bellagio Fountains are, of course, one of the key attractions of the casino.
Of course, the Bellagio is also about gambling. I liked that the Bellagio is one of the casinos which “just” has a double-zero for roulette, not the additional triple-zero. On the other hand, playing five Dollar blackjack with a machine feels a bit of weird – and less casino-alike – to me. The Christmas spirit in the casino was lovely, though.
Bellagio Las Vegas at Christmastime
Finally, here are the pictures of the Christmas display. Despite the weeks right before Christmas are rather low season in Las Vegas, the Conservatory was really packed. You could walk through the giant train and enjoy the giant nutcrackers and other displays. The small model train running around the Christmas tree comes with a small camera. You can view that on screens. An adjacent shop offers some suitable decoration in case the Bellagio brought you in the right mood.
