Transport yourself into the tropics with a stroll through Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. The lush attraction features several exotic species of white lions and white tigers (as well as other types, too, like leopards), which are likely to be seen lounging here and there, playing a bit, and even swimming.
When you first enter the complex you’ll see the pools with four generations of bottlenose dolphins. The pools feature connecting passageways and an underground area where you can get a peek.
Once you experience the beauty of The Mirage’s creatures, check out the Sustainability Discovery Center, where you can find out all sorts of information about wildlife preservation, ocean pollution and water conservation.
The complex opened in 1990, a perfect home for the big cats of magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, who were passionate about the creatures. (One story goes that the two magicians met when Horn smuggled a big cat onto a cruise ship Fischbacher was performing on). The Secret Garden became the perfect place to extend their message on conservation to the masses.
