	Las Vegas SUN: Study: LV not suited for a major zoo
		But the man who had that vision, an experienced zoo operator who had leased the acreage from the Bureau of Land Management, gave up that dream in the late 1990s when he turned that property over to the city of Las Vegas to settle a debt on a loan from that government entity.
		The feasibility study, commissioned by would-be zoo developer Edward Sher at no cost to taxpayers, found that a large zoo, built at a cost of $150 million to $200 million, and drawing 1.1 million people a year at $9 per adult would still need $29.3 million in annual taxpayer subsidies to survive.
		Sher said he still wants to go ahead with plans for a zoo on 15 to 60 acres, if it could be built in conjunction with a moneymaking venture such as a museum or other cultural center and commercial ventures.
