A massive 90,000 square-foot aquarium packed to the brim with all manner of sea life, including an up close and personal look at sharks of all sizes (hence the name). Visitors are given "audio wands" that you can use to listen to pre-recorded information on the various fishies.
The attraction also offers a program called Dive with Sharks, a four-hour adventure that includes personalized education and instruction and a 45-minute dive into the 1.3-million-gallon tank that features more than 30 sharks. I just saw "Jaws" again over the weekend, so I think I'll pass but if you're interested there are a lot of restrictions you should know about.
First you have be dive-certified by a recognized dive instruction agency such as PADI or NAUI. Second, you have to be a guest of either Mandalay Bay or THEhotel. Third, you have to be 18 and over. Fourth, you have to be willing to pay $650 for the experience. The latter includes all instruction, equipment, a guided tour of the exhibit, a certificate of completion, and a video of you in the tank. You can even bring along up to four guests who can watch you in the tank, and, no doubt, humor you by smiling politely when you say "We're going to need a bigger boat."
Dives are limited to one per day and only happen Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Call 702-632-4555 or visit mandalaybay.com or sharkreef.com for advance reservations.
