| - THE WILDLIFE HABITAT AT THE FLAMINGO
Before going on vacation to Las Vegas, my mother asked me if there was a zoo there. I told her, "No, there's no zoo in Las Vegas. It's the desert." She said, "I like zoos. I wish there were a zoo there."
When we got to Vegas, we needed a few more things to do during the day, so I Googled, "Things to do in Las Vegas." Wouldn't you know it, up popped "THE WILDLIFE HABITAT AT THE FLAMINGO." I told my mother, "I was somewhat wrong. They have a wildlife habitat at one of the hotels here in Vegas, and it's free admission."
I read to her that there were Chilean flamingos, ducks, Ibis, turtles, koi fish, swans, pelicans, parrots, and hummingbirds on a 15-acre habitat within the hotel.
We were all in, especially because it was free! We visited what I will refer to more as "a tropical, foliage-filled garden," than a habitat, and saw everything described except the hummingbirds and the pelicans. It was beautiful and serene. You didn't even know you were in the middle of a metropolitan city while visiting the habitat. Waterfalls, streams, and ponds ran throughout the habitat where koi, turtles, ducks, and other exotic birds flourished.
We walked to an area where a woman was standing with her arms outstretched with several parrots sitting on arms and hands. A photographer was taking her pictures for sale.
There were benches to sit on along the walking trails so you could relax and take in the scenery and tranquility.
I would highly recommend visiting THE WILDLIFE HABITAT AT THE FLAMINGO during your trip to Las Vegas.
