    Las Vegas; The City of Casinos, Hotels, and Fun. Those "Fun" Things include Rollar Coasters, Musical Shows, and Animal Related Attractions. These Include the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat in The Mirage and the Shark Reef Aquarium in Mandalay Bay.

    So here's the Question: What if you build your own Animal Attraction in Las Vegas, What kind would it be, and How would People get around it and What kinda Animals they'll see?; It can be a Zoo, an Aquarium, or Even just an Animal Habitat.

    If I was ordered by a Las Vegas Resort to build an Animal Attraction; I would Probbaly add a Polar Bear habitat in the Slot Room where People can both Gamble and See live Polar Bears at the Same Time. Another Decison I would probbaly do is a Small Zoo with Wolves (Gray and Maned), Foxes, Big Cats, Meerkats, Asian Otters, Primates (Including Orangutans), Wild Pigs, Lowland Anoa, Capybara, Porcupines, Penguins, Macaws, Birds of Prey, Cassowarys, Flamingoes, HornBills, Crocodiles, Tortoises, Snakes, Monitor Lizards, and Komodo Dragons.

    Again I'll ask the Question: What if you build your own Animal Attraction in Las Vegas, What kind would it be, and How would People get around it and What kinda Animals they'll see?

    That bare 20 acres South of McCarron would be perfect actually. I would probably do a zoo based on "excitement". Several ecosystem exhibits each anchored by a popular and fierce predator

    ^i believe that he actually wanted to have maned wolves in a small zoo;). On a serious note, Las Vegas is seriously lacking a good zoo, hopefully it will be a void that is filled soon.

    Thankfully the plan never went anywhere. I actually like "vool".
