mirage is pretty cool for a fish only tank. Should be brighter in my opinion,. The MGM rainforest cafe LAME!!!!! Fake coral looks just too cheesy to me. and well the shark reef is ok if you pay the 15 bucks to see it. I scuba dive and have touched the tail of a 13 foot hammerhead shark so Shark tanks dont do it for me either. Some of the nicest reef tanks you will find our around these forums./ Vegas rocks though!!

I will be there next week. Thanks for the heads up on where to see some nice tanks . Is there any good reef stores in Vegas? Maybe I'll do some shopping too.

Hi,

There is also a large aquarium in Caesars Palace. Silverton aqaurium is nice but we would never keep our fish the way they do. Very over crowded so I thought. There is an aqaurium store out by the Walmart on east tropicana ave on the parking lot area. Can't think of the name. Things we pay so little for here in vancouver is 2 or 3 times more down there and stuff expensive here is cheap down there. Go figure.

I was in Florida visiting my sister a while back and I could not believe the prices for both livestock and drygoods. Both were extremely high and many were not overly sophisticated. This was not what I expected, especially when you see the offerings of their Internet suppliers.

We are so lucky to have J&L, OA and Hidden Reef.

Default las vegas aquariums

Here are a couple stores that were pretty good.

Trop Aquarium
3125 E Tropicana Ave
Las Vegas, NV 89121-7356

Yellow Submarine
6700 W Charleston Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89146-9008

Yes! We are very lucky to have really great LFS! It wouldn't be fair to single out any one particular store.

Here's pics and video's from when I went a few weeks ago. Video's and some pics are from 'shark reef' in Mandalay Bay the other pics are of the tanks in MGM (the ones with the cheesy fake coral).
