Las Vegas Tanks..... sites to see (PIC'S)
Just when you thought Las Vegas was only a place to go gambling....NOPE!
 Over a week ago I was in Las Vegas and I seen some amazing reef tanks & aquariums. They have them Everywhere! In the restaurants, cafe's (MGM Grand Hotel), in stores, in hallways, reef adventures, huge Shark Reef tanks (Mandalay Bay Hotel), to huge tanks in the malls (Ceasars Palace), to bar tanks, you name it! I took tons of pictures & wanted to share. The fish I may add there are HUGE! It was really awesome to see normally small angels, puffers, tangs here to HUGE livestock there! It's so awesome to see. Once you actually get to SEE with your eyes how truly BIG these fish can REALLY be, you get a new found appreciation for not sticking them in our small tanks. Wow, wish you guys were there, the fish were so beautiful. When you get a chance to travel there , check it out! Enjoy! Shark Reef in Mandalay Bay Hotel - Gotta check it out next time in Vegas. They have Many of these Reef tunnels you go under.. COOL!  Jelly Fish tank  My Fav JellyFish Shot  This is a pet the shark & rays pond  Wowzers! This tank is all around you. It's a 1.3 Million Gallon Tank! It houses, Sandbar Sharks, Sand Tiger Sharks, Nurse Sharks, White Tip Reef Shark & Sea Turtles. Yiks Shark swimming above & all around!  Big Sharkie  Shots of the Rainforest Cafe   Huge Sohal Tang  Big Beautiful Angel. Look at the small yellow tang on far right to get an idea of the Angels size  Big Tanks in the Malls of Vegas - Here is one in Ceasars Palace, wraps all the way around, one big tank.   A little piece of Las Vegas from last week.   Lee

Their fish & tanks were huge & gorgeous! Call me a nerd but I loved watching the Jellyfish tank the best! I got a video but not sure how I could post it. After watching them and other odd creatures I came to thinking.....if there is any such thing as aliens out there... THERE IN THE OCEAN PEOPLE NOT THE SKY!

Yeah that was a bummer hey. Although could you imagine the up keep it would be in those HUGE tanks if they had real corals!  They would have to hire a diver to dive in to spot feed!  That be a damn cool job though! O.k maybe not but be funny to see! O.k but the fake corals were the best looking fake corals ya ever did see though... weren't they?.
