For Summer 2011, the Waterfall Atrium at the Palazzo Las Vegas was transformed into a bog garden. It featured three hand-sculpted frogs that sat in the center of the water feature, accented by water lilies, cobra lilies, mosses, ferns, and water reeds. Whimsical jeweled dragonflies dotted the gardens in vibrant oranges, hot pinks, and chartreuse greens.

Late last year the Wynn Las Vegas unveiled two floral installations conceptualized by Preston Bailey—a hot-air balloon and an animated carousel, which will live in the property’s atrium indefinitely. The installations were crafted by Wynn Design and Development and Forte Specialty Contractors. Constructed with a core made of fiber-reinforced plastic, the sculptures are adorned with more than 110,000 flowers, arranged in a vibrant color palette.

The hot-air balloon stands 20 feet tall and weighs 4,000 pounds, while the carousel is 13 feet tall, 16 feet wide, and weighs 6,000 pounds. Both installations feature theatrical lighting and are accompanied by festive music. Bailey said he looked to childhood inspirations to complement the existing whimsical theme of the Wynn atrium.
