Just when you thought Las Vegas was only a place to go gambling....NOPE! :mrgreen:
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!
