There are animal stars in Las Vegas too. Not to mention reptiles, birds, beetles and aquatic life as well. For anyone who loves animals, whether you’re an adult or a kid, you’ll find a plenty to occupy you in Las Vegas. Why, you’ll even find shows where animals are the stars of the performance and you could walk into a nightclub and find that it has its shows centered around animals. Vegas is certainly the place to be if you are searching for fantasy and escapism.

If animals make you feel all warm and fuzzy, you must swing by the Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park. This is certainly one of the smaller zoos you have been to but it makes up for it with some very rare animals. Here it is that you will be fortunate to look upon the last of the Barbary apes in America. You can also check out the strange emus, flamingos, reptiles, wallabies and chimpanzees.

You can watch animals in Las Vegas, not just in the zoos but in museums too. You may just find some free performances. You’ll find animal acts at the nightclubs too. Make sure you don’t miss the Mirage when you’re in Las Vegas. Here, you’ll find the White Tiger Habitat where you can see these spectacular animals in pristine white environs. Why white? So the animals can blend in and feel protected to some degree. Unfortunately, these creatures are now extinct in the wild so you can count yourself blessed to be able to see them and as a free exhibit at that!

Also at the Mirage, you’ll see the Mirage Aquarium with its huge faux coral reef and sixty species that belong to the coral reefs from all across the world. This 20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium is just behind the front desk and displays a wealth of strange sea creatures. You’ll also discover the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat here. This provides a good environment for these incredible animals and is also a remarkable place for people to discover the role they play in the environment. If you are over 13, you can pay a fee and become a trainer for one full day and this makes for a very touching experience.

If you’d like some more glimpses into aquatic life, remember to visit the Mandalay Baby Shark Reef which turns out to be among the largest when it comes to marine shows in the U.S. There is an entrance fee but it’s worth paying that fee because it really is one of the best outings you can have in Las Vegas. All this is just a foretaste of what Las Vegas can give you. There’s much more to see of course. If you love animals, you’ll discover so much that’s right up your street in Vegas.
