Fodor's Review:
This is as big a gamble as there is in Las Vegas. Nine times out of 10 when you walk through the see-through tunnel, you'll see the big cats snoozing above and below. But the habitat has acquired some younger, friskier kitties. The enclosure itself was designed to replicate the lions' natural habitat as closely as possible and has stone, trees and foliage, four waterfalls, and a pond. The lions don't actually live in Vegas. They're trucked in from animal trainer Keith Evans' 8 1/2-acre ranch outside of town.

Boring Lions
Posted by dqtpie22 from chicago on 9/23/07
I went in the evening and it was crowded. You could barely see the lions, plus they didn't do much. It was cool that the trainers tried to play ball with them which made them a little playful for a few minutes. I'm glad it was free but overall boring.
