White Tiger Habitat at the Mirage Hotel

The White Tiger Habitat is an open-air home for the Royal White Tigers. The habitat is located at the south end of the resort and is open all the time (24/7).

The tigers are bred by the world’s famous magicians Siegfried and Roy. The magicians dedicated their lives to preserving the white tigers and helped save them from extinction.

The white tigers are white with black strips, pink paws and blue eyes, unlike the conventional tigers that have black strips and gold markings. The purest animals are white with no stripes at all. They are even rarer than the panda bears as there are only a few dozens white tigers in the world.

The habitat was designed specially for them and provides great views for the visitors. The tigers can roam free in the environment that even has a swimming pool. The tigers are rotated throughout the day and while they are not in the habitat they have their own spacious living quarters. The white walls provide great “blending grounds” for the white tigers. The whole habitat is designed to have mountain terrain which insured the tigers have fun and the visitors enjoy watching them. There is also a waterfall and some fountains. The special slanted glass that surrounds the habitat helps to control the temperature. It also eliminates glare and offer great viewing.

The White Tigers Habitat at the Mirage represents a rare chance to watch these beautiful and graceful felines.
