One might not think of the ocean while they are visiting the desert of Las Vegas but Mandalay Bay is changing people’s perspective with its impressive Shark Reef Aquarium. It houses over 1,200 species of marine life and a slew of interactive experiences that are good for the entire family. The huge 1.3-million-gallon shark tank is perhaps the favourite of many visitors and features five different species of sharks, plus a slew of other large marine animals. Sometimes you can even see the scuba divers inside cleaning the tank. The most impressive is the nine-foot-long tiger sharks that swim seamlessly through the water. Other attractions here include sea turtles, golden crocodiles, komodo dragons and more colourful fish than you can count. The stingray feed experience is open for kids that are 5 years of age and older and is a huge hit. Both kids and adults will love visiting this aquarium and will not only learn more about the oceans creatures but will have fun doing so.
