| - I was hesitant to bring the kids to Siegfried and Roy's secret garden because you never know what your gonna get at kid's attractions in Vegas. Usually it's some mediocre experience for a high price and we walk away feeling used. Luckily, at S & R, it was not the case. We had a great time, even in 103 degree heat. I brought my daughter, (7) and my son (2) here one morning, it was $29 total at the gate.
We walked in and was immediately greeted by a Dolphin in a large pool. We walked around and saw an adjoining pool with 2 more dolphins, which I assume were for the Dolphin experience where you can swim with the dolphins.
We walked over the bridge to an even larger pool where 4 dolphins greeted us, including Mirage's newest treasure, a baby dolphin. The shade was sparse, but the view was incredible. You are as close to the dolphins as you can be without being in the pool with them. Off to the left is a gift shop, where 2 people greet you with a camera and take various pics before letting you through the next door and into the rest of the garden. We saw a leopard in a very small area =( He was pacing back and forth and it was very sad to see. There was one lion taking a nap on a tree, and then around the corner was the white tiger display. The leopard and the lion are definitely the red-headed step child in this situation because the white tigers digs are niiiiice in comparison. The white tigers were very entertaining and awe inspiring, however one cannot help but wish they were able to be free from their cages and in the wild where they belong.
As we exited the caged area, we went through the other gift shop where the attendants showed us our pictures and gave their best sales pitch. We continued on our adventure to the front where we started, but went down the ramp to the underwater display of the dolphins. The facility is beautiful down there and very peaceful. I was just giving myself a talking to in my head "See Karey, Vegas can be fun for kids....." just then my daughter squealed, "MOM WHAT ARE THEY DOING?"
Me: "ummm what do you think they are doing?"
Daughter: "Dancing?"
Me: "Yes, Dancing"
For you parents out there you know that and "wrestling" is the standard answer for what we saw. There were 3 male dolphins "dancing" so much that they slammed against our viewing window. I don't want to talk about why I know they were male, but trust me, they were male. So in the end, Vegas is Vegas, no matter how it is packaged and sold. You can try to keep your kids from seeing an orgy, but it's just not possible. Keep the kids at home.
