"A small and lovely escape from the busyness and crowds of the Las Vegas strip. There are also a few koi ponds with assorted ducks, flora and waterfalls. There's even a garden chapel where a private wedding was being held. A nice respite."

"Free attraction alert! It's not everyday you get to see live Flamingos, but you'll see about half dozen of them here. There are other animals, but they're all marine animals like koi and turtles that live in the ponds that surround the walkway. The Flamingo Exhibit is a quick walk, but it's very scenic, well taken care of and frankly, it's just lovely. There's also a chapel here if you plan on tying the knot here in the garden. If there was less foot traffic and quieter this would be a pretty ideal place to meditate."
