    "We are delighted to welcome these cubs to their new home at the Secret
Garden," said Scott Sibella, President of The Mirage. "They make a
wonderful addition to Siegfried & Roy's animal family."

    Roy said, "While we no longer perform nightly, our conservation efforts
to save and care for these magnificent creatures are part of our daily
life. These new cubs are a gift from the universe and it brings us great
joy to share them with the world."

    "I am honored that our tigers will go on exhibit for my birthday and
just in time for Father's Day weekend," said Siegfried.

    Plans to involve Clark County School District students in the naming of
a cub will be announced in the form of a contest at a later date.
