I don't gamble so I often get asked why I visit Las Vegas at least once a year. The answer? The free attractions make Las Vegas a frugal traveler's paradise (and we'll save the dining discussion for another article). Almost every casino has some sort of freebie gimmick to attract gamblers. In this article, I will cover, what I consider to be the must-see's to give tourists a flavor of Las Vegas.
With all the many casino resorts in Las Vegas, one might expect any zoo in the city to be a large, lavish piece of property with thousands of exotic animals from all over the globe. However, the Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park only covers a very small 3 acres and is a relatively small facility that mostly houses animals that can thrive in the dry climate.
With nightfall comes the fountain shows at Bellagio. In the massive pool of water on the Strip side of the casino, illuminated spirts of water dance to a variety of music, popular, classical and even opera. They usually operate every 15 minutes (check with the casino to ensure), with a different song and show each time. Every night, in front of Treasure Island on the Strip, a battle takes place between sexy sirens and renegade male pirates. There are usually four identical kid friendly shows nightly. Get there early for best viewing (especially if you are vertically challenged). Stand close and you could get a bit wet.
Since the Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park is located in the desert, its primary goal is to inform people about desert life and the natural habitat, and to raise awareness about the protection of that habitat. It's not as kid-friendly as zoos with zebras, giraffes and elephants, but the chimps and wild cats do manage to entertain.
Of course, everything in Vegas is a business. Even though the zoo is a nonprofit facility, all guests still have to pay an admission fee. And you'll also find a gift shop in the zoo with an assortment of items, and even a gem exhibit area featuring some of the crystals from the area and other gems from around the world.
Animals in the zoo range from harmless to extremely dangerous. Guests of the zoo will have to watch out that they don't step on one of the free-roaming peacocks around. Although they're on the not dangerous list, they still have carte blanche in the zoo and get to walk where they want.
Note: There is an Ethel M's at the airport if you are concerned about chocolate melting (check hours of operation as every time I go, its closed).
Other animals at the zoo include parrots, chimpanzees, and endangered cats like the panther, and also eagles, emus, ostriches, wallabies, pygmy goats, and more. In total, over 150 species of plants and animals are held at the zoo.
