One of my favorite spots is at the Shark Reef in Mandalay Bay. Everything in Vegas is overpriced and a tourist trap in my opinion, this one is no exception. But if you have an hour or so and enjoy an aquarium this is a fun place. Don't expect tons of sharks here because of the name shark reef. There are sharks, but there are also lots of tropical fish, sea turtles,jellyfish,crocodiles and stingrays. My favorite part is probably the "touch pool" where you can touch the stingrays,crabs, and small bamboo sharks. and the Jellyfish tanks are very cool with a black light they glow.
Cost around $15.00 Since I don't waste any money gambling here i waste it on overpriced tourist attractions it wasn't that bad to me. Phone: (702) 632-7580

Rip offs: The Shark reef – how disappointing. $15 entry fee and it took all of 18 mins to walk through. Mostly a circular glass tube where you can see the same fish over and over and yes over again and if you have every been to an aquarium or snorkeled, there is nothing new. A few small sharks, lots of groupers, parrot fish and other every day ocean fish. The only thing I found interesting was the komoto dragon and large pink jelly fish. Save yourself the money, pick up a flyer and you have seen all the fish they have. Phone: (702) 632-7580

The Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay is a great destination for families and nature buffs. The Shark Reef exhibit has everything from North America's only predator-based tanks to land-based snakes and reptiles. The exhibit boasts more than 2,000 animals in the 1.6 million gallon aquarium.
The reef also has educational programs throughout the week for children who are interested in learning more. The program consists of a one-hour guided tour through the exhibit as well as one-hour of classroom instruction.
Admission to the Shark Reef is $15.95 for adults, $12.95 for children between 5-12, and children 4 and younger are free for an audio-stick tour. There also is a behind-the-scenes tour where you can learn about the feeding, cleaning, and maintenance of the exhibit and that costs $8 and is limited to those over the age of 13.
The Shark Reef is open from 10am until 11pm. The last tours leave at 10pm.

There is much debate over whether or not Las Vegas is a family-friendly destination, and the popular concensus is that it's not. However, Las Vegas remains popular with families and some may find it difficult coming up with things for the entire family to do. My favorite is the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay. Years ago when we were driving into Vegas from Southern California, I saw the billboard off the freeway and logged it away as something to do when I was sick of partying. Now that I live in Las Vegas, I recommend it to everyone who comes to visit, especially those with kids. It's relaxing, informative, and the kids will really dig it. Toward the end of the attraction, you walk through an observation area that looks like a shipwrek, and you can watch as sharp-toothed predators lurk in a tank that is above, below, and all around you! They also have an awesome gift shop with more than just the regular tourist-trap souveniers. The audio wand tour provides a lot of info, so the Shark Reef can kill a lot of time for the price (check the Mandalay Bay website for that info). Phone: (702) 632-7580

This hotel has a cute water-light show! It's basically water that shoots up and dances around to the music played overhead. It's really pretty to watch. I can't remember the times it runs, but they do it all night. Leave a Comment Phone: (702) 632-7580

This marine life attraction at Mandalay Bay is definately worth your price of admission so get in line up -- Don't miss it. Sure It was a bit challenging for an amateur like me to take pics of the beautiful fish and sharks. Phone: (702) 632-7580

Get married whilst the sharks and stingrays swim around you. If you can survive that, your marriage will survive anything...and not many people will be able to say they got married in a $40million venue!
The whole wedding package includes....Minister, pianist, wedding album, a bouquet and garter for the bride and a buttonhole for the groom...all for $1175.00 plus tax. Phone: (702) 632-7580
