The BEST of "Surf and Turf" is at the Secret Gardens of Siegfried and Roy! Back when S&R were THE top entertainers in Las Vegas at the Mirage Resort, they in consort with Mr. Steve Wynn built this habitat for some of the magicians' famous white lions and tigers. The Mirage became accredited as a dolphin habitat for educational school visits as well as captive dolphin breeding so what you will see is FIRST CLASS! There are two massive interconnected pools to watch the dolphins respond to the trainers and show some of their natural antics and inquisitiveness. Then you can walk down an easy ramp to LARGE underwater viewing windows where the dolphins often come right up and seem to delight in interacting with the viewers - especially children. I have taken children from kindergarten to high school and EVERY one of them fell in love with these intelligent creatures. Seldom has there not been plenty of up close viewing room at the massive windows. When you come back up from the depths you continue on the path into a 'jungle area with the beautiful white lions and tigers and very often there will be a zoo trainer interacting with some young cubs of the prolific tigers and some of the lions too all within a few feet of you. Although these giant 'cats' are usually nocturnal they are just as often roaming their habitats filled with flowers and trees. The lions were much more active than the white tigers the half dozen times we have visited but we have never been 'skunked' by not seeing several of these beautiful creatures in action. HINT We make it a point to bypass the dolphins and head straight to the lions and tigers to see what they are up to and then if there is little going on we do our 45-60 minutes with the dolphins and return to the 'jungle'. As I said we have never missed seeing some amazing 'turf' activity!
