If I was a Koi Fish, a Crab or a Lobster, I would still rather be in a Chinese Restaurant Fish Tank than this Aquarium. It would probably be cleaner and less disrupting than this sad excuse for an aquarium.
I was visiting my friend in Vegas and their local friends had visitors who wanted to check this place out so we open-mindedly joined them. SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium is located inside this dinky mall that pretty much looks dead so I think it was wise for the mall to lease out open space to them, but the Aquarium itself was overwhelmingly disappointing.

At the entrance we paid for our admission and got 12 feeding tokens to share. When we entered, the air was so dense and stinky. The condition of the animals and sea critters living conditions were questionable.
Previous aquariums I have visited are so clean and staffed to protect the animals. The interactive aspect of this Aquarium isn't staffed enough so that there were a lot of irresponsible parents and ignorant children bullying the sea critters. I felt so bad for them I didn't want to be another contributing person interrupting their lives. I didn't even want to feed them since they looked like they were all being over fed as it is. At most other Aquariums, they will let you feed different critters on a different schedule so that they are not over fed. Also they should supervise any touching areas. I saw adults and children removing these poor sea critters from the habitat even though they huge signs says not to.
Seriously... death by dinner is probably a less miserable life than the poor sea critters here have to suffer.
Upon exiting I still had some tokens and they said I was able to redeem them in the gift shop at $2 value, but I didn't exactly was a souvenir to remind me of such a distasteful experience so I gave them away to this family with a bunch of kids. I am sure those kids will enjoy it more than I would.
