In a vast desert of cold, lifeless man-made attractions, Shark Reef shines as a lush exhibition full of life (literally).\n\nI've been to this aquarium many many times, and it is one of my favorite attractions on the strip. The only reason I held back the 5th star is because I wish it were BIGGER, because it's already so fun I wish there was more to see!\n\nThere is a great variety of exotic fish, reptiles, and of course numerous species of sharks to look at.  The audio tour is very informative, but I definitely didn't need it the 2nd time around (or 3rd...or 4th...I love this place).  The creatures in this exhibit include (but are not limited to) a golden crocodile, a komodo dragon (the largest living lizard in the world kids!), a water monitor (another large breed of lizard), piranhas (they usually do at least 1 public feeding daily...this is the only thing I've missed as I come at the slow times), lots of varieties of sharks (sadly no Hammerhead sharks...but when I asked why they don't have any, the employee told me it's because they do very poorly in captivity. Sad face :( ), jelly fish, a shy octopus, lion fish, a few different species of rays (that you are free to touch!), and a green sea turtle (maybe 2...they are in the last big tank with a bunch of sharks and are sometimes difficult to spot, so I'm not sure how many there are).\n\nMy favorite part of the exhibit is the last room, the sunken ship room!  It's like being under water to view all the sharks, and it's probably as close as you can get without actually having to take diving lessons and wear scuba gear.  They even have a window above and below you. It's very cool (and kind of eerie) to see sharks swimming above or below you.\n\nI've visited in the evening on a date, and it was actually kind of romantic...in an eerie way...but still romantic because of the lack of tourists (we went an hour before closing time) and the watery atmosphere.  The date went very well :) That's all I'm going to say about that...\n\nP.S. You can ask for a goofy little Shark Reef crown and they will give it to you for free! It's similar to those paperboard Burgerking crowns, but the points on it are shark fins...I have a regular one and a holiday one with santa hats on the fins...goofy!
