The Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay will offer a close-up look at aquatic life. The project includes 75 different species of sharks, tropical and fresh water fish, reptiles, marine invertebrates and rays. Expectations are to expand to 100 species, with more than 3,500 animals on display. The facility covers more than 105,000 square feet and holds almost 2 million gallons of sea water. Shark Reef replicates an ancient temple that has been slowly claimed by the sea.
Video monitors provide details on each of the species featured in four different exhibit areas.
Visitors are surrounded by water on all sides, giving a view of what you would see looking out from a sunken ship. McCarran International Airport has opened a 24 hour 14,000 sq. Personal trainers are available. Plans are for massages to be offered within the next few months.
