Occupying just more than eight acres on the outskirts of the Las Vegas Strip, the Lion Habitat Ranch is home to dozens of big cats. Established in 1989, this private sanctuary includes lions that once resided at the legendary MGM Grand Hotel. The ranch is also affiliated with the Zoological Association of America, one of the largest organizations of its kind in North America. Visitors have the chance to feed the animals and take other exclusive tours that are led by guides with true passion for some of the world's largest feline creatures.

The Feast With the Beast is an exclusive package that's ideal for families and small groups. A picnic-style table is set up under a covered area that's surrounded by cages and enclosures with transparent glass. While enjoying your fresh meal and cool drinks, you'll see the feline residents wandering their habitats. Up to 20 people could participate in this private lunch or dinner in the heart of the sanctuary.
The Feed the Animals package lets guests feed hungry lions and giraffes. Guests are usually allowed to directly insert treats into a giraffe's mouth. However, the lions must be fed through a special enclosure that limits any physical contact. Throughout the year, the Lion Habitat Ranch might display some cubs. There could be special events and celebrations that are dedicated to the cute newborns, which gradually expand the ranch's population.
