BACKGROUND: Hard Rock set to operate, lease The Mirage in pursuit of guitar-shaped Strip hotel Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is home to a number of dolphins and big. At some point in the future, they might be released back into the wild, but not if they get housed in yet another aquarium bent on exploiting their tricks for money. In such a sanctuary, the dolphins would be fed and given veterinary care. The dolphins would do better in a seaside sanctuary, where they could experience the tides and the currents, hunt fish, and not be subject to daily routines of doing repetitive tricks for tourists. This would be an improvement, but not a very big one. It is likely, despite our efforts, that the dolphins will go to another dolphinarium rather than a sanctuary.

The International Marine Mammal Project (IMMP) of Earth Island Institute has closely followed the issue. Their determination and spirit deserve credit for finally shutting down this facility. Many individuals and organizations have repeatedly protested the keeping of the dolphins in outside tanks that had no shade from the desert sun.
