The Lion Habitat
The Lion Habitat is only opened a short time daily. It used to be in the middle of nowhere in Henderson but as is everywhere else developers are building more and more communities around it. We got there a little before 11 when it opened and there was already a line of cars.
There is small parking area and then you enter the ticket office that looks like construction trailer and hopefully has AC during the hotter months. Before we could purchase tickets we had to sign waivers of responsibility. In it we also to tell them if we belonged to any animal rights organizations which only tells they have had their issues with them.
Once the tickets were bought we all met at the emu cage and were taken on a tour by a really awesome tour guide who explained everything between being trained and the care of these animals. We saw about seven or eight lions some who were directly related to the original MGM Lion (yeah him Leo). There are also birds of all kinds and a famous Painting Giraffe named Ozzy. The whole tour took 90 minutes. We met several of the newcomers and they were nice. They were heading to lunch at the M but we had other plans.
We had other plans but were cancelled at the last minute. It was a Mexican Train Meetup that had to be cancelled due to unforeseen issues so we had lunch at Jack in the Box and did some errands.
Tonight we are going to Freemont Street Experience and I am told it is one not to miss. We parked at the cortex and went to a light show. It was recommended that I don't get upset by the atmosphere there.
