okay we went here last year and to be honest were a little disappointed but not as much as we would have been since we had a heads up from a driver on the Duece bus.   No this is not a big zoo and to be honest you really cannnot spend a full day here like we tried to do.  That being said it was still fun.   We enjoyed the talking birds and the other exotic animals they had.   The place could have been cleaner and there is very little in the way of food options so eat before you come.   We were sitting inside and learned by listening that they often hire kids doing community service to work around the place.  I am sure in part because of lack of funding.   Its not a bad place just that you would expect much better in a city the size of Las Vegas.   I still enjoyed the time we spent there but to be honest not quite sure it is worth the cost of admission.
