Bad Economy? Not for some

Last week I wrote about hanging out on the strip. One of the things we like to do is visit the MGM Grand and see their lion habitat, its free and Adlen thinks the lions are so cute (she says "oh so cute, like Tysen"). Well as we were walking through the habitat we noticed that they have new cubs, maybe 6 weeks old, and so tiny. Then I saw that you could pay to pet these little cubs, which seems like a great idea, for 5 minutes, at the low price of...$200! I was shocked! Are we not in a recession? And whats worse was there were people standing in line to pay $200 for 5 minutes...not for me, not even in a recession
