Today, this installation is one of Chihuly’s most well-known public installations, weighing over 40,000 pounds.

Reviews
I remember seeing the lobby at the reception area for the first time in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. It took my breath away; it was awesome. This book is a culmination of the work for this huge project through photographs and some comments. Don't judge the lack of commentary; the photographs depict the scenes and don't need any narrative to explain the work. What's truly fascinating to me is that he doesn't like to "limit what you see with a title." He wants the observer to enjoy whatever he sees. If you enjoy art, have a fascination with how glass objects are sculpted, and be able to be that "fly on the wall," you'll be transported to another dimension of art.
