We will meet by the lion habitat shortly before 11am. That's the time the lions will come out. They aren't out too long so aftwards we can have some lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. There a lot of photographic opportunities there as well. They also have yummy food and drinks. If anyone wants to they can bring the little ones too, put a camera in their hands, they can enjoy it as well. If that wasn't enough shooting then we can venture down to MM World. My son is 4 so I'll be giving him my G10 for the day. I think it can be a fun family shootout event.

The lion habitat

To honor the lion and help safeguard its preservation for future generations, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino has created a one-of-a-kind Lion Habitat as a showcase for public education and appreciation for this majestic creature of nature. The lion has been a part of the MGM heritage for many years, beginning with the legendary Leo, whose roars have welcomed generations of moviegoers to epics of the silver screen.

The lions live in custom accommodations on an 8.5-acre ranch 12 miles from the MGM Grand. They are owned and cared for by noted feline expert Keith Evans, who has been training exotic animals for more than 30 years.

Rainforest Cafe

Part adventure, part restaurant and wholly entertaining for the whole family, the Rainforest Café recreates a tropical rainforest with waterfalls, lush vegetation, and indigenous creatures. You enter through a 10,000-gallon double archway aquarium. Inside the family-style restaurant, the food continues the rainforest theme with the Primal Steak, Rumble in the Jungle Turkey Wrap, and other exotic fare.

Average Check
$15 – $25/person
