Default Where are the aquariums worth visiting in Vegas?

I'm heading there at the end if this month. Just wondering who's been there and if they've seen any nice tanks?

I've never been to any of the local stores but they have a fish only in the Caesars Forum Shops Mall.

A Shark Tank in one of the old Casinos in Fremont (I forget which one but it was in CSI).

A large fish tank at the Silverton Casino (never been to that one).


I've never seen a reef tank though.

Mandalay Bay is a must see, it got me into reefing actually. My daughter and I walked from one end of Vegas to the other just to see it. It was a long walk. But So worth it.
