| - This is one of the few places or perhaps the only aquarium on the strip. I originally found out of this place after googling "Things to do in Vegas." I gotta say, I really like the sound of this place, "Shark Reef Aquarium." Sounds fun, doesn't it?
My verdict however, is that for the price of $18/person, it's a very small aquarium with a tour that can be done within 1.5 hours. And that is if you actually read most of what was written, ask questions to the workers about the piranha including dumb or possibly genius questions (like, do piranhas eat each other? What would happen if we starved the piranhas for 1 week, would it be a blood bath?), stop at the sting ray to touch them, and hang out by the shark tank (with tiny sharks) for a good 15 minutes just to avoid walking though the "exit" sign that marks the end of your $18 show, all too soon.
Don't get me wrong, I had fun, but def have experienced a much better aquarium. The good side? If you're not SUPER enthused about spending a day surrounded by families and little kids, and want to kill time to avoid traffic on the road after your weekend of binge-drinking, this could be a great alternative. Otherwise, you could continue to sadistically destroy your liver, lose more money at the casino tables, or on the rare chance, win back to make up for your loss (wink wink). :)
TIP: If you're a vegas resident you get $3 off a ticket plus 3 other people with you. Hopefully you got the vegas buddy hookup? lol
