| - Nemo was right. Fish are friends, not food. It looks like the sharks preferred to eat up my money and I will not be able to see those green bills anymore...
I was excited to check out this Aquarium but I was slightly disappointed with the availability of what you can see when comparing to admission costs.
General Admission:
Adults ($18)
Child ages 5-12 ($12)
Child age 4 and under (Free)
There are big tanks, in which you can see the roaming sharks and other fish. In addition, there is a Komodo Dragon exhibit, piranha exhibit (apparently it's illegal for piranhas to be in Nevada, but the Shark Reef Aquarium have a special license to hold them there), tons of other fishies, and Jellyfish. There is a small exhibit where you can dip your finger in the water and touch the stingrays.
Overall, I think it's nice that they have this Aquarium for the tourists, but if you're looking for the WOW factor, I will tell you that you will find this place to be underwhelming. I think the exhibit took us less than an hour. The overall aquarium is kind of small. I've been to other aquariums (albeit more expensive) that have more exhibits and a variety of different fish tanks.
Don't get me wrong, this is a good place for those who are on a budget in Vegas and want to do some good sightseeing with friends and family. However, if you are a Marine Science fanatic - I suggest going elsewhere to get a good aquarium experience.
