Viva, Viva, Las Vegas Part 2

 

What a hotel! I can't believe the size of it! I am so glad Alice booked the Flamingo Hotel! She knows how much I love GOD's birds!

 

A beautiful nature walk was in the hotel. Of

course, the name sake of the hotel were the first birds we saw. I couldn't believe how bright the under feathers were! They had a brilliant candescence!  

 

 

Before we continued our journey, we stopped to get pictures of the flamingo art work! 

It was such an enjoyable walk and the animals were so accepting of us!

 

 

I am really familiar with the pelicans! Living in the Florida Keys for 28 years, they would glide right next to our boat (when we were going at full speed!)

 

Dad, one time, even assisted a wild pelican that had walked up to him when he was casting his net for shiners. It was all wrapped in nylon fishing string. I was so surprised at how the bird accepted dad's help when he cut the line from the entangled bird. It flapped it's wings in joy! Before it flew away, dad dropped a large handful of the fish into the birds mouth pouch! 

 

The ducks were so at home. Thank the LORD these will be some that won't be harmed by hunters!

 

One of the cutest things they would do when they got out of the water was to shake the water from their tails as they got onto the rocks!

 

 

 Even the turtles enjoyed being around the birds and people!

 

I couldn't believe the size of the goldfish! This one was at least a foot and a half long! (And that's no fish tale, lol!)

 

At the entrance to the Flamingo walk, they had this huge Macaw in his gigantic cage! It reminded me of my Blue and Gold Macaw, Max awaiting my return!

 

 

Can you believe how big this hotel is!!! The hallway went about half this distance in the other direction!

 

This is just where we stayed! The next post will have pictures of other fantastic hotels we visited because of their individual uniqueness!!
