    I've already got my tickets for my December trip. Has potential to sell out at popular times.

    We'll actually be going from Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room directly to James Turrell's Akhob exhibit in Louis Vuitton's shop at Crystals. It's the largest ganzfeld chamber Turrell's ever built.

    So we're doing two seizure inducing art installations back to back. Does it get any better than that?

    This exhibit was immensely popular when it was here in Toronto. So ironic that I'll most likely be going to it in Vegas of all places :)

    Shame that MyVegas has cut the BGFA reward... but it's only $15 to just pay for it, so not the end of the world.

    Will be booking my tickets this week. Anyone know if the $15 admission you buy on Bellagio's website gets you admission to the regular gallery as well?

    I just saw a post the other day about this on Facebook. It seems very interesting! I've already booked my ticket for my December trip!

    I've used MyVegas for BGFA at least 5 times. I looked a few weeks ago and noticed it's gone.
    This gallery has the most unique and impressive exhibits it's a MUST go place each trip imho.
    What I pay for this I lose at a table game or in a slot in like 3 mins.

    That looks really interesting. I may wander over and see what the wait is. I find the gallery isn't usually that busy in the mornings.

    I've seen quite a few fascinating exhibits at the BGFA over the years. If you have a AAA card, they offer a discount. I used it on my last trip to see the Samurai exhibit. Got in for under $12 and spent well over an hour in there. Money well spent, IMO.

    This looks like a pretty sweet exhibit. The last exhibit Water(or something?) just didn't do it for me.

    As for the MyVegas reward, I wouldn't say it's gone just yet. They close BGFA for a month or two to change over the exhibit. This exhibit has only been open for 2 days. We all know that MyVegas can be a little slow refreshing rewards.

    LOL, am I the only one who thinks this may be a good one to view under the influence of something? :)

    (Not that I would ever do it, of course!) :)

    To be fair, the BGFA reward, as I remember it, was always a general admission reward, not an admission for a specific event.

    I booked the Bellagio exhibit for Friday, 12/21. The other exhibit mentioned, at Louis Vuitton's, seems interesting too, but the wait seems to be forever. So maybe I'll go if I go to Vegas in April for the NAB convention.

    I saw Yayoi Kusama's exhibit when it came to Seattle. It's really cool. Nice to know I can get a chance to see it again.

    So, did anyone else attend this exhibit? I'm interested in people's thoughts.
