The desert is not a place for dolphins.  They do not have shade, they cannot dive deeply, the water is clear unlike the ocean that would protect them from the sun.  \n\nBe informed about the deaths of these poor animals.  The Mirage has lost of 12 of 18 dolphins since it first opened its marine mammal exhibit in 1990 -- a 70% mortality rate.  Do you really want to pay to see animals in captivity who are left out in the hot sun all day?  Go see them in the wild where they are free, not trapped in a concrete tank getting sunburned.\n\nThis is not entertainment.  It is just sad.
