White Tiger Habitat - The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas

White Tiger Habitat - The Mirage Hotel

The open-air home of Siegfried & Roy's Royal White Tigers is available for public viewing around the clock. Siegfried & Roy have dedicated their lives to preserving these rare animals, and their efforts have helped save them from total extinction.

After securing the offspring of a perfectly matched pair of these beautiful animals bequested to this country in 1958 by the Maharaja of Rewa, Siegfried & Roy established their own Royal White Tiger breeding line.

Unlike conventional tigers which have black and gold markings, the white tiger is white with black stripes, pink paws and ice blue eyes. The purest of these animals are snow white and have no stripes. There are only a few dozen white tigers in the world, which makes them rarer than the panda bear.

The Tiger Habitat contains many features designed to enhance the comfort of the animals and provide spectacular viewing for guests. The open air environment features a swimming pool with fountains and simulated mountain terrain for the tigers' enjoyment and the public's entertainment. The facility's white setting gives the animals a sense of security by allowing them to blend into the background, and special slanted glass affords better viewing, eliminates glare and helps control the temperature.

The Royal White Tigers are rotated continuously in and out of the facility throughout the day. When not appearing in the Habitat, they enjoy their own spacious living environment and periodic excursions into the countryside.
