All of the hotels in Las Vegas have a theme and one of the famous themes that people come to see are the lions. One of my favourite hotels is the MGM hotel and casino home to the lions! The hotel is easy to spot as it is the massive green one with the gold lion statue at the front. The MGM Grand is the second largest hotel in the world and boy is it big! It is green because when it first opened it was heavily themed in Wizard of Oz paraphernalia as it took is cue from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Whether you agree with it or not and I'm not sure that I do one of the biggest attractions in this casino is the lion enclosure. Right in the middle of the casino ...  Read the complete review

This is another free attraction on the Las Vegas Strip, and a chance for all cat lovers to get really close to these magnificent animals. It is located at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino and it's open daily from 11am - 7pm. I rather dislike the idea of any animals living in captivity and being paraded around for our entertainment, but MGM claims this to be an educational project "to honour the lion and help safeguard its preservation for future generations". Hmm, okay then... A lot of you will know the roaring lion "Leo" being part of the MGM logo at the beginning of many old films. Apparently some of the cats on display here are ...  Read the complete review
