Company spokesman Gordon Absher said Monday that animal care officials were still trying to determine why the dolphin, named Sage, died Saturday morning.
The dolphin was born at the habitat in May 1997.
Correcting earlier reports, Absher says 13 dolphins have died at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat since the attraction opened with five dolphins in 1990.
He says that number included five that were stillborn or died shortly after birth.
The dolphin habitat offers tours to the paying public, birthday parties, "trainer for a day" and group tours. It can also be rented as a setting for private events.

Health officials are investigating an outbreak of a mystery disease in southern Africa which has so far claimed three lives.
