If you like Dale Chihuly’s work – and we do, we’ve seen it all over the country – you’ll probably be stoked to know Chihuly has a permanent presence in Las Vegas. (Well, permanent for now. You know how things go.) His work appears at the Bellagio, and it’s free. Chihuly created the ceiling display …
