Do you want to see wildlife in a different way than the documentary on Animal Planet? Well, in the Entertainment Capital of the World, you sure can. But first things first: How did we get there? I am now a fan of themes. And since our current theme is exploring wildlife, I say we take a Jaguar to guide us out into the great open space. Exotic car that it is, the Jaguar would make a good transportation option. It is, after all, one of the most famous luxury cars made.
Its sleek lines, pristine leather, smooth interiors, and smooth engines—it’s no wonder these wrinkles rule the streets. It’s been the car of choice for those rich brokers on Wall Street, New York, for a high price, too. But the freight no. You can drive one. This city, after all, is packed with Jaguar car rental dealers who can lend you the king of the high streets for a day, at least. Now with the Jaguar, head over to the rest of the pack: the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand Hotel. Experience a taste of the wild inside the Hollywood-themed MGM Grand.
Every day from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm, 6 wildcats such as lions, snow leopards and tigers can be seen eating, playing, sleeping and frolicking in their special glass habitat in the Casino area . All 31 of these bobcats belong to renowned feline expert Keith Evans and all live on an 8.5-acre ranch when not on display. Now what is the best thing about these shows? They are free, courtesy of the MGM Grand. Who says that the wonders of nature stop on dry land? Surely the ocean and what lies below hold as many wonders as the world we walk on.
Still in that radical Jaguar rental car, we sped out into the great open sea. Enter the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. In this deep blue world of Shark Reef, we come face to face with some of the land’s fascinating creatures at North America’s only predator-based aquarium and exhibit. Sharks of all kinds, giant rays, sawfish, endangered green sea turtles, piranhas, moon jellyfish, and rare golden crocodiles coexist with more than 2,000 animals in a 1.6 million-gallon fish tank. From the hard ones, we come to the cute ones. Who doesn’t love dolphins? These natural performers are born to please any crowd.
So we visited the Be a Trainer for the Day program at The Mirage. The Mirage has just launched its new programs, giving all its guests the opportunity to get acquainted with the dolphins at Siegfred & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Here, guests will work alongside animal experts as they interact with a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Participants will also learn about dolphin behavior and health, as well as dolphin habitat research projects, as they help the survival of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in the wild. So you see that getting in touch with nature is not as difficult as it seems. And it’s not limited to an idiot box view, either. From the “wild” in your Jaguar rental to the “life” at Lion Habitat, Shark Reef and Dolphin Habitat, getting up close and personal with Mother Nature couldn’t get any better than this.
