Every major tourist attraction city in America has some type of zoo or botanical garden facility. It's a family-friendly and informative experience for people of all ages, and Las Vegas is no exception. Although Vegas' zoo has a fancy name, the Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park, it's still a basic zoo and operates as a nonprofit organization.

With all the many casino resorts in Las Vegas, one might expect any zoo in the city to be a large, lavish piece of property with thousands of exotic animals from all over the globe. However, the Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park only covers a very small 3 acres and is a relatively small facility that mostly houses animals that can thrive in the dry climate.

BELLAGIO HOTEL - The FOUNTAINS AT THE BELLAGIO must be experienced to be believed with its complex water choreography that dances to classical and popular music and gorgeous when viewed with the Las Vegas horizon and the golden hotel as a backdrop. The whole family will appreciate this as a grand example of beautiful precision, engineering and technology serving art. This is the time the kids will keep to their seats song after song and water dance after water dance.

NEW YORK NEW YORK LAS VEGAS HOTEL and CASINO - The ROLLER COASTER is not the same the world over. And here in Las Vegas this ride takes the scream-value a notch higher with the famous "heartline" twist.

Of course, everything in Vegas is a business. Even though the zoo is a nonprofit facility, all guests still have to pay an admission fee. And you'll also find a gift shop in the zoo with an assortment of items, and even a gem exhibit area featuring some of the crystals from the area and other gems from around the world.

Outside there is the Botanical Cactus Garden with over 350 kinds of cacti, succulents from the local area and around the world (also free admission).

There are also a slew of snakes and other poisonous reptiles that are native to Nevada, including rattlesnakes and scorpions (not a reptile). There is also a family of Barbary Apes. This is the last family of this species in the entire country, and they're kept pretty secure for their safety.

Other animals at the zoo include parrots, chimpanzees, and endangered cats like the panther, and also eagles, emus, ostriches, wallabies, pygmy goats, and more. In total, over 150 species of plants and animals are held at the zoo.
