Remember when you would tell people you wanted to become a marine biologist? Oh, you didn’t, well I did, whenever I had the chance. These days the closest I come to studying fish is standing by the aquarium at the Forum Shops at Caesars while I wait for my wife to spend money on shoes.

The Mirage in Las Vegas is trying to make some of those dreams come true. Their New Program, Trainer for a Day allows guest the opportunity to become very acquainted with Dolphins at the Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat.

You will work alongside animal experts as you interact with a family of Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. Participants will 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.
