Flamingo Hilton Wildlife Habitat - Free Las Vegas

Flamingo Hilton Wildlife Habitat
I have had the pleasure to travel to Las Vegas several times for a little gambling, shows, and nightlife entertainment. Just letting yourself be taken away in all of the glamor and glitz of the entertainment capital of the world is a fun and exciting way to release the stress of everyday life.

Since I don't have a "limitless bankroll", it's always nice to be aware of some of the fabulously entertaining FREE activities that Las Vegas has to offer. Since I had already set aside my "gambling money, and cash that I have already dedicated to be spent on self indulgence, I set out to find some cheap or free things to do in Vegas.

I didn't have to look long or hard to find some unique and interesting entertainment. We were staying at the Flamingo in the heart of the strip, and directly behind the Flamingo is the Flamingo Hilton Wildlife Habitat. 15 acres of gorgeous waterfalls, penguins, flamingos, swans, and even Penguins (yes penguins!) have habitat controlled areas to call their home. The price of admission is free, and its a good place to take your children and have a great time admiring exotic wildlife in the middle of the desert!

My family easily spent 1 1/2 hours just relaxing, and enjoying the wildlife habitat. The animal habitat is open 24 hours, its FREE, and their is no waiting time. Its hard to beat free, and the Flamingo Hilton Wildlife Habitat is a wonderful (family oriented) way to spend some of your vacation in Las Vegas. Book Your Vacation At The Flamingo In Las Vegas

Las Vegas has so many things to do and see, but its always nice to take a step back from all of the high engergy, fast paced vacation destinations that Vegas has to offer. The wildlife habitat at the Flamingo is a free and wonderful way to spend an hour or two on your Vegas vacation!

Camping In The Grand Canyon


What could be a more exciting and tranquil experience than camping in the Grand Canyon? The majestic Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Grand Canyon can be explored by mule, by air, motorcoach and jeep tours, or by foot.

Over 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon each year (one of the worlds top vacation destinations), but you can't help but feel very small and obsolete standing next to a canyon that cuts 277 miles through Northern Arizona and is 18 miles wide at its widest point.

It is very easy in today's busy world to overlook all of the natural beauty that lies all around us. I can assure you that just to be in the presence of such an awesome spectacle will not only take your breath away, it will force you to take your entire life into context. You just may look at life in an entirely new perspective after spending a few days camping in the Grand Canyon underneath a masquerading display of stars illuminating the night.

While camping in one of the parks in the Grand Canyon, your days can be as action packed, or as docile as you choose them to be. For the thrill seekers you can hike one of 38 trails, or bike its two rims. Beautiful, mind numbing scenery can be seen throughout the day, with a new surprise seemingly around every corner. The sunsets that can be seen in the evenings shower down cascading rays of colored light across the canyon, that can almost bring a tear to your eye as you breath in the astonishing landscape.

If you don't have the inclination to be on your feet for the entire day (ME!), you can take a horseback or mule ride onto the Grand Canyon's desert floor, and set up camp for the night. Spending a night on the floor of the Grand Canyon gives you a crash course lesson on the meaning of "Time and Space". Wilderness classes can also be taken at the Grand Canyon that will teach you all about the Grand Canyon and will help enhance your vacation experience. The experts that teach these class teach you about photography, art, and the cultural history of the canyon. Most of these classes include overnight backpacking stays. There are lodging options for those looking for a less strenuous educational adventure.

Air tours are also available to get an overhead view of one of the world's most popular vacation destinations.

Rafting and "Dory" adventures are an option for those looking for an exhilarating adventure on the river. Dory boats are rigid boats designed for four people with plenty of room for supplies and gear.

An adventure in the Grand Canyon is an experience that can't be summed up with words alone. Its a feeling of immense mortality letting us know that long after we are gone, the Grand Canyon will always be there to teach the generations ahead of us about the treasures that life beholds us if we only open our eyes and allow the beauty to come in.
