Close-up of one of the groomsmaids (or bridesmen?)

we visited the beautifully decorated bellagio hotel. the theme of this season is chinese new years. here's a shot of nate in front of the gorgeous registration lobby.

also on showcase in the bellagio lobby area was an ornate horse statue. here's a tien's-eye point of view.

...and here's me trying to mount the horse, with tony's help =)

here's a shot of the lovely atrium, which is now called the conservatory or something.
