. "Small but very well done aquarium with 2 underwater tunnels. \n\nI am such a sucker for marine life. Not only are they pretty to look at, but they also make me hungry. They don't only have sharks, they have a variety of other exhibits of Komodo Dragons, pythons and Amazonian fish like piranhas and Pacu.\n\nYou can tell that this is a fairly new aquarium because it's not dark and depressing like the old school Shedd Aquarium in Chicago or the National Aquarium in Baltimore. In fact it has a very nice modern and \"in habitat\" feel to it so you can also get an idea as to what their natural habitat would be like. \n\nThere is also a sting ray petting pond! They're so squishy!\n\nAh..the inner Marine Biologist and Chinese cook in me is satisfied every time I visit an awesome aquarium. \n\nThey also do a pretty good job with the group photos and the various options you can get. It's such a touristy thing to do, but the we couldn't help ourselves. \n\n$18 is a bit steep for the tickets, BUT it is Vegas and everything is really expensive so it really doesn't surprise me. If you are staying at the Mandalay, this is a must see."^^ . "4"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . . "2011-12-31T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . .
