The wife and I are going to Vegas at the end of the month.
Does anyone know of any good fish/coral attractions (stores, aquariums, etc.) to see why were there???
The place were staying (Mandalay Bay) is suppose to have a nice shark tank.

First, who you flying on?

Second, I have been to a few out there. There is ATM(acrylic tank manufacturers), another way out in the west valley, and one close to ATM(can't recall the name). They were OK but ATM is the one that impressed me the most.

Hey,
When I was there last there was a nice aquarium at the mirage (I think) I went to so many hotels that day. I think its the same one that zigfreid and roy are at. There is also a nice viewing area to see the white tigers.

Hi there! Tons of places to go here in Vegas. Mandalay Bay has an awesome setup with many different things to see in the Shark Reef as well as several tanks located throughout the casino. The Mirage has a spectacular display of fish and sharks, and a tiger(boring) exhibit. Ceasers Palace has a big tank in the Forum shops. There may be more, but these are the ones I frequent.

Shops located around the valley include:

ATM - Acylic Tank Manufacturers (exorbitantly expensive

)

Green Valley Aquariums

Trop- Aquarium
3125 E. Tropicana Ave. #D (702) 458-2981

I usually go to these places to look and occasionally buy a turbo snail

and Hamada of Japan on the Corner of E. Flamingo and Paradise has the best fresh, raw, yummy SUSHI!

I really enjoyed the tigers, sure you are just looking at them but, they are VERY VERY impressive animals. I would be just a snack if you know what I mean

OH Yeah there is a Dim-Sum house near brookfield drive and the strip that was wonderfull the owners talked with us for about half an hour and brough out some rare treats for us to sample.
I could live on har-gow, and shui-mei

I have heard to go to the Chicken Ranch and check out their menu selection.....we'll get the Mr Nasty back into your system, send the wife shopping... how is your back?? Also bring your Visa card they don't take American Express. Finally if you smell something fishy it's probably not FISH,

I heard Mustang Ranch is the place to go...they will even fly you up there for your "stay"

BUT I think Mustang Ranch has closed down, sold off all its items.
