Vegas for Animal Lovers Wildlife is something that big and little kids from all over the world find fascinating. Whether the wildlife is marine, mamma, reptilian, or bird in nature-even insects, kids find intriguing and love to explore. In Las Vegas there are many casinos that not only offer shows that cent er around animals but also offer shows where animals are the stars. Thi s is one of the few cities in the world that will offer quite the varie ty of fun, adventure, activity, and fantasy to its visitors. It's a goo d idea to sit back and enjoy as much of that as floats your boat while you're here. Some of the great animal offerings you can explore and enjoy while vis iting Las Vegas include the Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park. This zoo makes up in quality what it lacks in size. This is a relativ ely small zoo but offers some rare offerings that make this zoo very m uch worth visiting. Among the rarities at this particular zoo is one o f the last families of Barbary apes in the U.S. In addition to these creatures, enjoy watching wallabies, flamingos, chimps, emus, and exot ic reptiles. Zoos aren't the only businesses in the business of housing animals. I t seems that many museums are cashing in on this act as well. Even if some of the shows are offered free the casinos are definitely cashin g in on the big rewards that hosting these animal acts offers. The Mi rage is home to quite a selection of animals among the offerings here is a White Tiger Habitat at the Mirage. These magnificent creatures are extinct in the wild. Visitors to this free exhibit are fortunate to be able to view them in their snow-white surroundings (this allows them some degree of security and the ability to 'blend in' with thei r environment). In addition to the White Tiger Habitat, the Mirage is also home to the Mirage Aquarium. This aquarium is home to more than 1000 animals (60 species) that ordinarily would call coral reefs their home. The coral reef within the aquarium is one hundred percent artificial and there i s no actual coral reef in this aquarium at all. The Mirage is also home to the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. I g uess you could say that really do love their animals over there. The goal of this project is not only to provide a safe environment for do lphins but also to educate visitors on the important roll in the ecos ystem that these wonderful animals have. The admission to the Secret Garden is $15 for adults. For $500 you can become a trainer for the d ay if you are over the age of 13. This is a wonderful experience for those that are willing to pay the price. Mandalay Baby Shark Reef offers glimpses of some rare and not so rar

e marine life. There are free aquarium experiences around the city b ut none of them actually quite compare to the scope of the Shark Ree f, which is one of the largest exhibits of its kind in North America . The Shark Bay is open daily from 10 am until 11 pm and adult ticke ts are $15.95 while children's tickets are $10.95 (4 and under may e nter free). This is probably one of the best things to do and see in Las Vegas and well worth the price of admission. This is only a small taste of the wonderful animal centered activiti es and events that take place in Vegas each and every day. Animal lo vers beware, there is much to see and do here. PPPPP 665
