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.
The habitat will be closed permanently after Jan. 31, 2012. I just saw them 2 days ago, playing and cuddling with trainers, so adorable. Too bad another family friendly attraction discontinued!

I remember seeing two lionesses, both of which were actually asleep at that time. We were visiting most of the Las Vegas Strip, in July 2011, and we checked out a good number of hotels/casinos. I wanted my mom to get a photo of herself with a lion cub, too.
