If you’ve never been to Las Vegas before, then you might be surprised to learn that you can swim with dolphins right there in the middle of the desert. Of course, i f you have been to Vegas before, then you probably know not to be surprised by anything.
The Mirage Resort’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is a really beautiful facility that allows you to get incredibly close to bottlenose dolphins and observe their natural behavior. In fact, you get a much more intimate look at dolphins here than at any aquarium I have ever been to.
You can get a good look at the dolphin habitat in the video bleow.

The habitat also offers a Trainer for a Day program that lets you get in a wetsuit, wade into the water, and help trainers feed and care for the dolphins.
This is a rare and truly special opportunity to get up close contact with the dolphins and spend some time with them at this educational and research facility.
Also included in the admission is the Secret Garden, home to some of the world’s rarest and most endangered big cats, including lions, black and white striped tigers, and the extremely rare all white tiger.
This is one of the best places to view big cats up close anywhere in the world, and the facility helps protect these incredibly endangered specimens.
It seems few people even know about the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat, as it flies almost under the radar on the Strip. This is a shame, because this is a truly special pair of facilities that are well worth the visit.
