We made a semiannual trek through the Bellagio conservatory/gardens a few weeks ago. Boy, were we SURPRISED! The Boy was thrilled no end to find model trains all over the place. Up, down, through the trees, through tunnels and towns, it was a delight for his little autistic perseveration. They had his favorite, a BNSF, nearly close enough to touch.



Here's a village scene, with the favorite. We stood and watched this little cutie for some time.


Same train, different angle, with tunnel.



The ladybug trolley scurried by a wooden boot/house, underneath a great castle.


And the crowning piece, a miniature Bellagio, complete with fountains. All these buildings and bridges were made of wood and plant parts. Some were pine cone leaves/blades, twigs, seed pods, acorn cups, pieces of bark, all craftily glued together in amazing detail.
We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day, too.
