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. Separated from the lions by an inch and a half piece of glass, visitors can watch as these creatures feed, play, groom themselves and sleep. When they're not on display, the lions live on an 8.5-acre ranch located 12 miles from the MGM Grand. They are cared for by exotic animal trainer and conservationist Keith Evans. The lions are bathed and blown dry before being transported in a specially designed van to the MGM Grand each day.
Location:MGM Grand Hotel Hours of operation: Open daily, 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. However, the staff switches the lions from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. No animals are on display at this time. Cost: Free
