The Gallery

I had some down time on a business trip and since I love art in its many forms, I was drawn to check this place out. This glass blown art beckons you to come and look at it from the windows of its studios near the Aria hotel where I stayed. I was awed at the beauty of these pieces. They are far from affordable to me for the most part but I did purchase some books on the different types of art inspired by the artist Dale Chihuly.
These are truly beautiful pieces. Be ready to be impressed by them. Well worth a visit when in the area on the strip.

If you enjoy art & Chihuly this place will knock your socks off. They were pleasant & helpful with us even though we obviously weren’t buyers & had drinks in our hands. No judging. It was Vegas & night time. I wish I could say the same of the galleries in the row there but I can’t. Sorry! However I can of this one so go in take a peak & enjoy some art.

Dedicated to all things Chihuly, The Gallery is a sight to behold!
All kinds of Chihuly glass from chandeliers, exquisite table sculptures, foyer sculptures, & bowls — ranging from small to gargantuan
The colors in these glassworks are absolutely amazing & the light refracts in such unique ways that it’s like you’re getting a different sculpture from every angle.
This shop in particular also boasts some sculptures that are only found at that 1 store — so you won’t see them anywhere else
Price tags are what one might expect from such a famous artist & his team. I think the small bowl we were looking at was something like $ 5500 and the next fav of ours — a double bowl sculpture — was something like $ 9800…a true collector’s dream!
But if your interest lies more in the learning & appreciation arena, there are also these really cool light-​changing lithographs, DVDs, & books telling all about Chihuly’s works & various exhibits… in fact, they have a video always running that showcases 1 of the Chihuly DVDs so you can see the glass being made, learn about the artist & get wowed (like that’s hard to do!)
The woman who assisted us both times we were in this shop was attentive w/​out hovering. She gladly offered us info about the pieces we were looking at but there was no sales pressure at all. If we ever decide to take the plunge & bring home 1 of these little beauties, we would make a point to purchase our lovely from this specific shop & seek this specific salesperson out
But no matter what, if you appreciate Chihuly & the lovely glassworks, this is a place to check out!

The Gallery is a must stop for me once a year. I’m a big fan of Dale Chihuly. The glass art is incredible.

Located on the south end of the ARIA, this gallery is currently hosting a Dale Chihuly exhibit. It’s well worth the visit, and I was even tempted to buy a DVD after watching Dale and his crew spin (literally) their magic on the flat screens around the gallery.

Unilocal 100 Challenge * ⁴⁄₁₀₀
I still get mind-​blown by Dale Chihuly’s glass art deco at the Bellagio that hangs above the hotel lobby’s ceiling upon entrance, an extravagant welcome (and topper) after any experience at the fountains that still leaves me smiling today. And to actually step foot in one of his galleries felt almost surreal.
This was the first in line to a series of galleries at Crystals place at City Center. As we got in, my friends and I were greeted with a nice, warm welcome by art consultants, Terri and Bravo, who were both very accomodating and ready to answer any questions we might’ve had. Terri introduced us to the acrylic lithographs that started at about $ 2000 and were considered the cheapest art pieces in the gallery while the cheapest glass sculpture was priced at about $ 4500. Shaped to perfection and precise geometry, I would argue that despite the price, it’s well worth it.
Besides the utterly expensive professional pieces, be mindful that there are other products available for purchase such as books, DVDs and even Chihuly art kits for souvenirs that are within the 2-​digit price range so be sure to look into those as well. As we were about to leave, Terri handed us a catalog filled with amazing Chihuly’s artwork. I’m particularly attracted to the Cerulean Macchia, a cute and colorful glass sculpture that brings about so much beauty, pretty sure it’d brighten any room.

Unfortunately, the staff appeared to be disinterested in customers who walked in. They made NO effort to meet and or greet, welcoming myself and my colleagues into the Gallery. They merely stood behind the desk smoking cigarettes. How DISTASTEFUL! I have travelled around the world and visited many galleries. However, this one is PERSONA NON GRATA! HORRRENDOUS!
I am making it my duty to spread the word to all ofmy colleagues, friends, associates and ART lovers to AVOID this place like the plague!!!

If you have ever been to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas you are already familiar with Dale Chihuly’s work. His famous contemporary glass sculpture, representative of flowers in bloom, hangs from the ceiling as you walk in the main entrance of the hotel.
The Gallery is located on Gallery Row, which is located between the Aria Hotel and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the CityCenter complex in Las Vegas, Nevada. For those of you not familiar with the CityCenter complex, it is a large development comprised of the Crystal Place shopping mall, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Aria Hotel & Casino.
A mind-​blowing exhibition of Dale Chihuly is currently on view at The Gallery. My favorite piece was Chihuly’s «Lime Green Icicle Tower.» It is a good thing the gallery is over 4000 square feet because this piece was massive! The other works in the gallery vary in size and there are even a few paintings and a few prints. The art in the gallery was for sale and ranged from $ 6000 all the way up to $ 400,000.
The entire Gallery Row is comprised of three galleries and is well worth checking out. Best of all, it is free!

One day I will own some Chihuly art. Until then I will keep visiting this gallery.
The lady working there was very knowledgeable and showed me around with no pressure even knowing I had no intention to buy anything.
The gallery is fairly large and you can get up and close and see all the works. The lighting and atmosphere is great.
The full selection of Chihuly books and movies is available for purchase. And apparently Chihuly himself stops by once in a while. The works also change frequently so there is always something current to see.

When I first walked into the Bellagio Lobby and saw the Dale Chihuly glass art on the ceiling, my first thought was: «Wow! Bogenrief Glass from Spencer Iowa made it to Las Vegas!» OK, there are some interesting style similarities…
During my recent trip to Las Vegas, I also saw Chihuly glass in a small shop just off the Bellagio Conservatory and at this Gallery farther down the Strip in the City Center Area. There’s also apparently examples of his fine work on display at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. It’s all gorgeous and well above my pay grade. However, it never hurts to look and realize that the perfectly fine, cheaper, and less famous Hawkeye version is good enough.

A wonderful place for all the art lovers. The art pieces were very impressive though very expensive. The staff at gallery was helpful and attentive.

if you love glass, you probably love chihuly. unless you’re some new breed of snob that i’ve not yet encountered.
this gallery is so much fun! the hostess is friendly and incredibly informative. she also encourages you to take pictures! it’s a nice, intimate space for you to feel like a bull in a mortgage-​park-​place-​if-​you-​slip-​and-​fall china shop. there are some very cool works in here, including some of his paintings (a couple of which are backlit and very cool).
as far as i know, there are only two chihuly retail stores. you should definitely make time to walk through here if you’re taking a trip to vegas!

Big fan of Chihuly’s work, and seeing all of his masterpieces makes me wish I could afford one of his works of art to bring home:(

Although not as aesthetically pleasing as seeing his work in a museum or conservatory setting, it’s nice to get up close and personal to Chihuly. Wish I could justify spending 6 grand or so on a glass sculpture.

Seeing the Dale Chihuly glass art and paintings on exhibit (and for sale) at this gallery (located in the new City Center) was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Las Vegas. A gallery agent named Mary was particularly helpful and knowledgable about the exhibit. Items displayed included glass chandeliers, sculptures, bowls and columns as well as drawings and something we had not seen in Chihuly exhibits before, an acrylic on plexiglas that was lit from behind for a remarkable impact. We’ve seen larger collections of Chihuly’s work and installations in more amazing settings, as in the Desert Botanical Garden in AZ a couple of years ago and, of course, the ceiliing of the Bellagio lobby. But the display here seemed unique for how «up close» one could get to the art.
Now if we could only afford to buy one of the talented Mr. Chihuly’s creations! Hmmm. we wonder how those blackjack tables work???
