Vegas habitat is the cat’s meow

I enjoyed the article by Terry Gardner [“MGM’s Rock Stars Roar,” June 29].

Being extremely close to the king of the beasts with only glass separating you and 400 pounds of lean cat muscle is awe-inspiring.

I have made numerous visits to the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand in Vegas and find it’s like seeing the lions for the first time, every time.

Mere words cannot describe these magnificent animals. They must be seen in person to fully appreciate them.

I’m not sure if the lions are there to attract potential gamblers or if the gambling is there to attract the lion fans.

In either scenario, you gotta make it a point to get to Vegas at least once to see these cool cats.
