With the bright and shiny casinos of Las Vegas seducing you at every turn, it is easy to overlook some of the city's other great attractions, among them the fascinating white tiger exhibit at the Mirage hotel (3400, S. Las Vegas Boulevard). What's more this attraction is totally free so you do not have to worry about entrance fees.

All you have to do is head over to the lobby of the Mirage and there you will find these majestic white tigers inside a protected open air habitat that is impressively built with waterfalls, streams and a rugged mountain like terrain which they seem to enjoy. These extremely rare white tigers are a treat to watch and depending on their moods can be seen playing or taking a nap. Whatever they do they are positively adorable (in a regal kind of way) so definitely bring your camera along because chances are you may not get another opportunity to see these endangered creatures anywhere else.

The tigers themselves are a part of Siegfried & Roy's (the famous magicians) White Tiger collection and can be seen throughout the day and evening. You will be happy to know that it is not the same tigers which are on display all the time since they are continuously rotated with others on a shift basis.

The white tiger exhibit at the Mirage is a great place to take the kids and have a break from the casino atmosphere at the same time. If you want to see more of these majestic (and cute!) creatures then Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is the place to go to.
