A new kind of visitor arrived
at The Palazzo and will soon make its home in the resort’s Waterfall
& Atrium Gardens. As the Year of the Dragon quickly approaches, The
Palazzo’s horticulture team has been preparing for the auspicious holiday by
transforming the resort into an oriental sanctuary.
After arriving in two 18-wheeler
trucks, the dragon made its way into the resort through an impromptu entrance
and across the casino floor before arriving in the atrium. Once complete, the
signature attraction will be suspended 19 feet in the air and measure in at a
staggering 128-feet and 8,000 pounds. The feng shui-designed zodiac took more
than a year to create and 50 designers, welders and painters from across the
globe.
According to feng shui
practices, Peter Lung, with local feng shui boutique, World of Feng Shui, says
it is good luck and will removes obstacles in the New Year to visit the dragon
and walk around it three times in a clockwise motion.
The red and gold water dragon
will be installed over the next weeks in time for the ceremonial dragon dance
at 1 p.m. on Jan. 23 and will breathe fire and smoke at select times the first
week of Chinese New Year.
