Let's face it! You dragged your kids to Las Vegas, which has changed back from the family-friendly theme to the more adult-entertainment kind-of-town. You feel guilty that your kids are bored after they have gone to the pool, the buffet, the mall and the video arcade. So you drag them to tourist-trap attractions like this (or the Marvel experience, Titanic tour, etc.) before you can head off to the casino.
Is the aquarium nice? yeah sure. Is it impressive? Not really if you've been to any aquarium park like Sea World. Will it buy some time for your kids? It sure does! The place is pretty packed and the prices are high but you grin and bear it, right?
