Worth the visit

by racer2

It's no Sea World but still really really cool. My daughter was able to touch the sting rays . The jelly fish were amazing and so was everything. So worth going to if you have kids of any age.

Nice Small Aquarium

by 15bigones

A good diversion when in Vegas, especially on hot summer days. The setting is very nice, and the small aquarium will not wear you out. A nice display of sharks and other marine life. A good place for families, which is becoming more rare in Vegas.

• Pros: Small, Easy to Cover, Good Display
• Cons: Not a complete marine environment, and selection is limited.

Arr.

by sixthsense1955

Great way to see an aquarium, with the sunken ship wreck theme and all. Sure we've all seen sharks and underwater fishies before, but this is Vegas baby; they do it different here! Comes with free audio tour and everything.

Spend an hour exploring an ancient temple that has been slowly claimed by the sea--Vegas-style, that is.

Overview
Feeling parched? This immersion into an undersea world should do the trick. One of the city's newest aquatic attractions, Shark Reef contains 75 species of sharks, tropical and freshwater fish, reptiles, marine invertebrates and rays. The largest is a 12-foot long nurse shark. Ultimately, Shark Reef hopes to have nearly 100 different species swimming over, under, around and through the exhibit.

Features
The attraction offers a petting area, along with a the tunnel directly through the aquarium to give you that deep sea feeling. Watch out for the cool, golden crocodile that likes to stare people down. There's even a section that allows for "walking on water," complete with a display underneath featuring a fake treasure chest and plastic (we hope) skeleton.

FREE is pretty EXPENSIVE

by Ice_Montaine

While there is no doubt that the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay is well worth viewing, being large, beautiful, and interesting; it is most definetely NOT FREE at $15.00 per adult, and $6.00 or so per child to get in. Did we pay? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely!!!! Would I do it again? You BET!!!!

• Pros: Well Laid Out, Lots of Fish, Fish Petting Pool
• Cons: NOT FREE, EXPENSIVE, NOT FREE

Shark bites

by rajekad

This is the place to go if you have NEVER seen any type of ocean life. If you have been to an underwater ocean exhibit this is not the place for you. I supoose the attraction is suitable for a hotel/casino.

• Pros: For kids, Handicap acessable
• Cons: Costly, Narrow Passages

Don't Waste your Money

by fn4nascar

What a waste of money. Way too crowded (on a sunday afternoon), too many strollers and kids. Unknowledgeable staff. Boring and short lived. The only cool thing was the jellyfish tank.
