During our Vegas trip, one of the many activities we did was visiting the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It is a public aquarium located at and owned by the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's amazing how huge the main tank is. Can you believe that it contains 1,300,000 US gallons ? That's a lot of water!
Shark Reef Aquarium is one of the largest in North America which displays numerous different species of sharks, rays, fish, reptiles, and marine invertebrates.
The rock fish always fascinates me. They are beautiful.
The shark tunnel is a great feature. Most of us doesn't really go diving and see shark so seeing those huge shark is exciting. You can watch the video I have posted at the end of this post.
Of all the display, the jelly fish are my least favorite. Although they are pretty to look at, they brings back "burning" memories to me. Growing up in a coastal area, jelly fish are our constant fear when swimming in the ocean. They burn your skin and it hurts.
Octopus also bring back memory but I like it. As a kid, I experienced catching them. My Mom taught me how. They are delicious when cooked properly.

I seriously get scared with lizards or any reptiles for that matter. Whenever we visit the zoo, I will try not to come near the reptile area. I can't stand it. I get petrified.
This looks so cool! Thanks for all the neat pictures. My boys loved them.
