Bliss Dance, the breathtaking 40-foot-tall sculpture of a dancing woman created by artist  Marco Cochrane has found a new home.
 
The art installation will permanently inhabit The Park, MGM Resorts International's outdoor dining and entertainment district that will transform the west side of the Las Vegas Strip when it opens April 4, 2016.
 
The structure and scale of Bliss Dance was inspired by Cochrane's first experience at Burning Man, and the piece debuted in 2010 at the annual arts and culture event in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.
 
She later resided on San Francisco's Treasure Island as a public display before being refurbished, and has now returned to the desert as a centerpiece of The Park's natural landscaping, plantings and inspired design.
