J  I am sending you this reminder since I will be on vacation Fri. 1/27, returning Mon. Feb. 6 and I wanted to give you advance notice of the show.  Hopefully, you will be able to attend one or more of his shows.  You’ll be glad you did. J

THE MIRAGE LAUNCHES NEW DOLPHIN TRAINER FOR A DAY AT SIEGFRIED & ROY’S SECRET GARDEN AND DOLPHIN HABITAT

The Mirage now is offering the experience of a lifetime to those who love dolphins.  The new Trainer for a Day program provides guests with unforgettable memories of working side by side with animal experts and a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins at The Mirage’s Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. 

 

Participants learn about dolphin health and behavior, as well as the Dolphin Habitat’s research projects that aid in the survival of the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin in the wild.  Trainer for a Day provides a chance to connect with these magnificent creatures and experience a hands-on, educational program for those who want to deepen their understanding of these marine mammals.  Every person’s experience is different because the dolphins’ needs vary daily.

 

“The Trainer for a Day experience is an enjoyable memory that will last forever,” said Charles Kotulski, a Trainer for a Day participant and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.  “The strength of the program is the fact that I was actively involved in the program and not just a spectator. This adventure will appeal to anyone who loves animals and wants to learn more about dolphins.”

 

The adventure begins at 9:45 a.m. when the program’s facilitator greets participants.  While guests enjoy a light continental breakfast, the facilitator teaches them dolphin terms used by the trainers and reviews hand signals used to train the dolphins.  After a behind-the-scenes tour of the Dolphin Habitat, participants change into wetsuits before being introduced to the dolphin trainers for hands-on instruction.

 

Mike Muraco, director of Animal Care at The Mirage, said, “These training sessions are very important for the dolphins’ well-being.  The mammals learn to participate in their own health care by cooperating with trainers, who do daily health checks of each animal.  Participants also have the opportunity to observe many aspects of dolphin care, including veterinary care procedures such as ultrasounds and recording the animals’ heart rates and temperatures, which the public rarely sees.”

 

When The Mirage began considering this program, the most important consideration was the safety and health of the dolphins.  The various people the dolphins are exposed to through Trainer for a Day stimulate their brains and give them variation in their environment.  The dolphins become accustomed to seeing different people which is helpful when medical specialists come in to care for them. 

 

In the middle of the day, participants break to enjoy an exceptional private lunch served at a secluded poolside table overlooking the Dolphin Habitat and surrounded by palm trees. 

 

Richard Kiewice, a Trainer for a Day participant from Bedford, Texas, said, “The lunch was just as much of a highlight as working with the dolphins.  The extensive menu and private setting felt luxurious and definitely added to the exclusive nature of the experience.”  

 

Activities in the afternoon session may include additional dolphin training sessions or learning more about dolphin behavior, including their underwater sonar capabilities.  The day ends with an opportunity to pose for photos with the dolphins, creating wonderful photographic memories.

 

The $500 all-day program includes a private lunch; 8x10 photo; Trainer for a Day certificate; admission to Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat; and the choice of a Trainer for a Day T-shirt, beach towel, hat or bag.  Photos taken throughout the day are available on photo CD for an extra $75.  Each participant also may bring along an observer for an additional fee of $150.  Observers are welcome to join the morning orientation, the private lunch and shadow the participant all day from just a few feet away taking their own personal photos.

 

The program is open to everyone 13 years of age or older.  To make the experience more intimate, the program is limited to four participants per day.  Through February 28, Trainer for a Day is offered five days a week, except Tuesday and Thursday.  As of March 1, the program will be available six days a week, dark on Thursday.  People who want to participate in Trainer for a Day at The Mirage may call (702) 792-7889.  Reservations may be made up to 11 months in advance.

History of Las Vegas

Dedicated to Las Vegas and the history of downtown and Fremont Street, and contains over 260 pages, by Mikey.

Here you will find stories and pictures about the rich history of Las Vegas. I have put a lot of work into researching the history of Fremont Street, the "Strip", hotels, motels, bars, and casinos both past and present. I have included pictures of the gaming chips, hotels, ashtrays, and matchbooks for many of the properties. Check out the in-depth pictorial history of Fremont Street featuring over 140 scans of postcards from my collection dating back to 1903. Enjoy your stay, and keep coming back as I am frequently updating, adding, and making changes. I have listed all of the Las Vegas casinos and hotels that I know of, but I am sure there are some that have slipped under the radar. I have put a lot of time into developing my website to what you see today, and I'm still improving it. I have been retired and on disability since 11/25 2003 due to an injury, so I have filled my days with improving my site. Go to my Casino History page and click on the links for each hotel. I have put in as much information as I can find on about each property with pictures from postcard scans and photos that I have taken on my many trips to Las Vegas.
