Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas

[kelly]

My wife and I are visiting my mother & sister who just happen to live in Las Vegas. The other day we went to Mandalay Bay to see the new shark tank, I know this is not the aggressive section, but they have a 1.3 million gallon tank there. Talk about having some room for corals (of which they have none.)
Anyways, that have a shark cam which is updated every 15 seconds, and here is the link for the
shark cam.
They have 3 sawtooth sharks, and many other sharks and fish in the main tank. They also have some other small tanks including a jelly fish tank, a tank for touching sting rays and sharks. I did not take any pictures, so enjoy the cam.
The weather here is a warm 99 degrees, I will hate to go back to Pennsylvania to the cool weather.

Yeah that is a pretty cool place. Theres a couple other casinos that have some big tanks. One has a 20,000g and one has a 50,000. They have some HUGE regal tangs. I mean like a foot or more.

As mentioned above, there are alot of tanks here, to bad they are all fish. The one at the Mirage is definately what you would call over crowded.

I lived there back in 74-76 while in the military...great place to spend bucks and have fun. If I had the funds some of them casinos have I'd develope a super large system too...but mine would be reef.

Sammy,
I was out here 2 years ago, and rode it then, I really enjoyed it. I do not remember ever laughing more, except for some of the posts on this forum. Today is the last day here in vegas, then back home to the cooler weather. Well off to the IMAX, lunch, etc. One last day then at midnight off to the airport.
