The Mirage Las Vegas

The Mirage Las Vegas is one of the first premier resorts to open on the Las Vegas Strip. The Mirage, initially scheduled for an opening in early December 1989, was opened early on November 22, 1989. At the time of its opening, The Mirage was the largest hotel in the world, with 3,044 rooms. The hotel tower, standing 29 stories, was built out in a Y-shape design, a concept that was later copied by other Las Vegas resorts on the strip.

The Mirage Name

The project’s working name was the “Bombay Club”. Wynn initially considered naming the resort the Golden Nugget, after his Golden Nugget hotel-casino in downtown Las Vegas. However, Wynn and others involved with the new resort knew that it would need a different name. Otherwise, they believed that the two properties would become known as “the old one” and “the new one”. Wynn chose “The Mirage” because of the resort’s South Pacific theme. In 1988, to avoid confusion, Wynn purchased the rights to the Mirage name from two other businesses, the La Mirage Casino and the Mirage Motel. Both businesses received $250,000 to change their names

Siegfried & Roy Secret Garden & Dolphin Exhibit

Starting in February 1990, The Mirage was the venue for the Siegfried & Roy show, held in the resort’s 1,500-seat showroom^. The two headliners combined magic and the use of wild animals. The show closed in 2003 after performer Roy Horn was critically injured by Montecore, one of the 650-pound white tigers used in the show.

This attraction has been renamed the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Visit Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage where you come face-to-face with Royal White Tigers, Magical White Lions and a Ceremonial Thai Elephant in their own jungle sanctuary. Also, discover a unique underwater paradise where you can view a family of Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins as they play both above and below the water’s surface.

Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden contains many features designed to enhance the comfort of the animals and provide spectacular viewing for guests. The open-air environment features a swimming pool with fountains and simulated mountain terrain for the tigers’ enjoyment and the public’s entertainment. The facility’s white setting gives the animals a sense of security by allowing them to blend into the background, and special slanted glass affords better viewing, eliminates glare and helps control the temperature. Inhabiting this palm-shaded sanctuary is a collection of the planet’s rarest and most exotic creatures. Here you can discover the snow-white tigers, striped white tigers, heterozygous tigers, white lions, heterozygous white lions and the Asian elephant that appeared—and disappeared—on stage with Siegfried & Roy.
