Trip to Vegas Things we are thinking of doing ....

An indoor garden with a spectacular floral display. The 50 foot high glass roof provides a sunny place for great photo opportunities. The displays are changed each season and for major holidays. The setting is a wonderful, peaceful break from the bright lights of the strip and the bustle of the casino. The garden is located inside of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, walk through the lobby (and be sure to look up at the ceiling to view some beautiful art as you do) to get there. The garden has over 13,500 square feet and has 1,200 bins of exotic plants.

A troupe of Polynesian born performers put on free shows every day at the Hawaiian Marketplace Shopping Mall. Team Aloha will sing, dance, tell stories and demonstrate crafts from the Polynesian islands through the day. Tahitian dancers and a live bird show. There is also the Enchanted Forest in the mall that has animitronic birds singing original songs in a five minute act that happens every hour

Thunderstorm at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. A computer generated thunderstorm hits the hallways of the Miracle Mile shopping mall. The rain pours, the thunder booms and the lightning cracks. The show mimics a thunderstorm overtaking a North African seaport.Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino

Past the hotel lobby and casino you will find a collection of birds and other animals living on an island surrounded by streams and waterfalls. Over 300 birds are featured including, of course, a flock of pink flamingos. You'll also see penguins, swans and ducks. Living in the stream are koi and turtles. The area also includes plants imported from around the world to make the animals feel more at home. Heat lamps keep these exotic birds warm during cold Vegas winter nights. For an added bonus you can see the penguins as they are fed daily at 8:25 a.m. and 2:55 p.m
