An educational trip to Las Vegas to view art? Absolutely! Glitz and fantasy have long attracted visitors to Las Vegas, but now important art, imaginative architecture, and gourmet food prove equally compelling.

Visionary entrepreneur and art collector Steve Wynn changed the ethos of the city with his $1.6 billion Bellagio Hotel. With other hotels following his lead, Las Vegas has become one of the newest and most unforgettable cultural destinations in the country. A Guggenheim Museum calls the Venetian Hotel home, the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art host's prestigious shows and Steve Wynn has kept his ever-growing collection on view at Wynn Resort, his newest property and project.

Meetings and discussions with local experts and art historians will help us understand the art scene and how Las Vegas has once again been re-defined.
