SPECIAL DELIVERY
Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage – featuring four connected pools, an artificial coral reef and sandy bottom – replicates dolphins' natural atmosphere and provides a nurturing environment for the family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins that call it home. With the goal of educating visitors about marine mammals and their role in the ecosystem, there is now a chance to learn something new: Sgt. Pepper, named by local school children, was born this past summer and is providing an opportunity to learn about dolphins' development from birth. Come watch the little tyke swim, jump and play as he learns essential pod behaviors and trainer signals. Open daily from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.

Explore Las Vegas' history at the 180-acre Desert Springs Preserve, featuring museums, botanical gardens, galleries, and trails that encourage guests to learn the history of Las Vegas through interactive experiences. You can also discover the latest innovations for green living: The Preserve is a leader in eco-friendly construction and offers ways to incorporate green ideas at home.

TRUFFLE YOUR FEATHERS

Savor dishes such as Organic Roasted Chicken with White Truffle and Porcini, Macaroni Gratin with Foie Gras from Le Cirque Executive Chef David Werly at Bellagio, Prime Filet Mignon with White Truffle from Picasso's Executive Chef Julian Serrano or White Truffle Salad with Roasted Honey-Glazed Duck Breast from NOBHILL Executive Chef Sven Mede at MGM Grand.

DON'T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
Everyone loves the Adventuredome at Circus Circus, Nevada's largest indoor theme park featuring the world's only indoor, double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster. But October 5 - 31, things take a dark turn: Adventuredome becomes Fright Dome and this year, there are more methods to its madness. Drop Demons fall from the sky without warning; a terror-filled Wax Museum and haunted 4-D Special FX Theater will give you nightmares for weeks; and high-powered strobes and eerie sound effects ensure there is no place to hide. For those fascinated with the macabre, there are sideshows and freaks to quench your thirst.
For more information, call 702-794-3939 or visit circuscircus.com.
