Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

While we were in Vegas Lanny took the kids to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. I wish that I could have been there as it looks and sounds awesome. The boys loved seeing all of the fish and sharks and touching the sting rays in the shallow pools. They each had their own set of headphones to listen to as they walked through the exhibits. That was pretty neat too they said. I guess the tanks were all ones that Reynolds Polymer built - where Casey is working. I am not sure if he helped on this project but I do know he helped on other projects in Las Vegas. Anyway...
Tyler and Ben listening to the guide as they watch the man in the tank feeding the fish and sharks. Ryan is just in front of them in the orange shirt.


Here they are feeding the sting rays. Ryan was unsure about them, he preferred to just watch while the other two boys would have jumped in with them.


You should have seen the size of the fish in this tank. Unfortunately they cannot be seen in this picture - I asure you it is not just a "fish tale".


The tunnel was neat walking through the tank with giant sharks and other fish swimming all around you. Have you ver seen the belly of a shark like this before?
