Yesterday The Mirage welcomed five new additions to Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat - six-week-old white-striped and golden tiger cubs!

The public will get its first chance to see the rare babies today, June 13th, in a special nursery created just for them at the Secret Garden. Today is also Siegfried’s 69th birthday! (Holy cow, he looks great!)

“We are delighted to welcome these cubs to their new home at the Secret Garden,” said Scott Sibella, President of The Mirage. “They make a wonderful addition to Siegfried & Roy’s animal family.”

Roy said, “While we no longer perform nightly, our conservation efforts to save and care for these magnificent creatures are part of our daily life. These new cubs are a gift from the universe and it brings us great joy to share them with the world.”

“I am honored that our tigers will go on exhibit for my birthday and just in time for Father’s Day weekend,” said Siegfried.

As with the last cubs the garden got several years ago, students from the Clark County School District will get to enter a contest to name the cubs.
