Didn't expect this to amount to much but it was outstanding. An incredible collection of safari trophies, horse awards, African and other parts of the world collectibles and a series of dioramas with additional African animals. Short movie explaining who Wilber May was and detailing some of his background and exploits set the stage for the museum. Very well done. We didn't visit the attached Arboretum and Botanical Garden but those should add to the experience.

When we visited in April 2019 the Bellagio Gallery had two installations by artist Yayoi Kusama. One of the exhibits is a bunch of silver spheres sitting on the floor. The other one, which is the one we wanted to see, was the infinity room. Your time in the room is very brief - only 45 seconds - but the infinity effect is amazing. We each went in separately. My job was still photos, his was video. They do have a AAA discount on admission tickets, so be sure to ask for that if you have AAA. The Gallery is located right across from the main entrance to the pool & they have signs through the hotel/casino pointing the way. It is a pretty good walk from the main lobby/Conservatory, but if you're going to the Conservatory anyway this is worth checking out. At least until they change artists - make sure to check their web site to see the current exhibit.
