Following the inaugural Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, 14 fir trees were replanted in front of the Bellagio to replace mature trees that had been removed to accommodate the event's grandstand. However, 13 of these newly planted fir trees have died. MGM Resorts International, the owner of the Bellagio, has announced plans to replace the dead fir trees next week, aiming to restore the aesthetic in front of the iconic fountains of Bellagio.

Of the 14 replanted trees in front of Bellagio for the F1 grandstand, 13 are dead. It seemed like a good idea at the time. (h/t @JamesInLasVegas) https://t.co/d19kTDfXym
