TimeOut

For Purists celebrating Chinese/Lunar New Year, how are you spending the next couple days celebrating? My family & I visited Las Vegas this weekend and stayed at the Bellagio. The flower conservatory is beautifully decorated with Chinese New Year themes. Here are a few pics.

Great pictures and awesome decoration by the Bellagio staff.

Happy Chinese New Years to you as well!

Wonderful pics ATM!

Sounds like you and your family had a great time with the beautiful Bellagio displays.

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Attempted this sticky sweet treat for the first time this year.  Can you believe the ingredients only consist of sugar, glutinous rice flour and water?  Wanted to share it.  Happy New Year to everyone!

Hello pingtsai!

Gung Hay Fat Choy to you and your family!

The pics look great!  Thanks for sharing.  Do you guys have a traditional meal the night before CNY?

every chinese new year.  This year I was fortunate enough to be home for the feast. 

My dad made scallops, shrimp and sea cucumber, sticky rice cake with pork, whole steamed fish, soy sauce chicken, and of course the sweet new years cake.  When I was little they would always tell me that I had to eat it to grow taller since the name is called "Lien Gau" .  Well, they can't use that reason anymore.  Now, if only I could use that line to get my kids to eat it...
