Christmas Day (part deux): Visit to The Habitat at Flamingo Las Vegas

December 25, 2008 on 2:12 pm | In Family, Travelblogue, Homefront |

Christmas Day. In the afternoon, we all went to The Habitat at Flamingo Las Vegas. In all the time I’ve lived here, this was my first time. It is not really an attraction, but lots of people go there specifically to see it. It is more of a place to just go and relax; basically a “tropical park” within the confines of the Flamingo courtyard.

The Courtyard is serene and beautiful. A pleasant place to wile away an hour or two.
By now, you are probably wondering to yourself; “Where are the Flamingos? This is, after all, the Flamingo Casino. Shouldn’t there be some Flamingos?” Well there they are.

By far, these were the “strangest birds” in the place.
