Visitors turned out in droves to see the ‘Twas holiday display at Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens on Christmas Eve Tuesday afternoon in Las Vegas.

The display, from designer Ed Libby, features a 45-foot holiday tree fir from Burney, Calif., topped with a glimmering Swarovski star and decked with 8,700 ornaments, among many other larger-than-life highlights.

Outside, traffic was backed-up with visitors waiting to park at the hotel and others on the sidewalks catching a glimpse of Bellagio’s famed fountains.
