Where else but in Las Vegas can you see white tigers, leopards, and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins? Only in a hotel named the Mirage could such an eclectic mix of animals be housed in one place. The brainchild of famous magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn (Siegfriend and Roy), the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is a safe environment in which these animals can live in serenity. And visitors will love watching them do so in this immense tropical retreat located near the pool and Bare Nightclub.
And they enjoy serenity indeed – the habitat’s white lions, white tigers, panthers, leopards, dolphins, and baby animals enjoy one of the finest and largest animal habitats in Las Vegas. The aquarium alone contains 2.5 million gallons of seawater, wherein dolphins dive deep and frolic on the surface to the excitement of watching visitors. And for those who really want to get acquainted with the happy-go-lucky creatures, the habitat offers a Trainer for a Day program, where guests can work one-on-one with the dolphins and their trainers.
The Secret Garden is equally fantastic, with waterfalls and lush tropical foliage intended to recreate the natural environment of the animals. The animals who reside there consist of a wide variety of rare and exotic lions, leopards, and tigers. But several white lions, an African leopard, an Asian leopard, and a snow leopard are housed in the beautiful habitat. The large and exotic cats are absolutely stunning to watch with their uniquely colored fur and breathtaking eyes. And visitors will love watching the latest additions to the Garden, five white, white-striped, and golden tiger cubs. Housed in a special nursery, the cubs play, pounce, and seem to get cuter every day. Learning about these gorgeous animals in the Secret Garden’s beautiful and clean environment is a unique treat for any Las Vegas vacation.
