About Flamingo Wildlife Habitat
Flamingo Wildlife Habitat is a garden-style animal habitat inside the Flamingo Las Vegas resort at 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South.

History
According to Wikipedia, the 1995 expansion of the Flamingo added a new tropical pool area covering 15 acres that includes a free animal habitat attraction. The same source notes that the resort's original three-story hotel opened on March 1, 1947, was demolished in 1993, and that a portion of that property was redeveloped as the pool area and animal habitat.
African penguins were once part of the habitat. According to Wikipedia, they had been relocated to the Dallas Zoo by 2006.
Exhibits and habitats
Wikipedia lists the animals that have lived in the habitat over time as Chilean flamingos, black-necked swans, pelicans, water turtles, and a range of fish including catfish, grass carp, koi and white sturgeon.
