Honeymoon in Vegas Day 7

We took the car back this morning & they were willing to drop us of at the end of the strip (Mandalay Bay). (Which happened to be just where we wanted to go.) We hadn't been to Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay yet. Having just been to the aquarium at the Wharf in San Francisco & not very impressed, we were not sure what to expect at Shark Reef. It was awesome!

First of all they hand you your little "magic wand" to that tells you all about any exhibit you want to know more about. OK, it's not magic & I don't know why they call it a wand. It's more like a cell phone. You dial the number of the exhibit & it tells you about the animal or whatever the exhibit is. If you want more details, you press the # and get more. It's like having your own guide. It even has numbers that talk to you about the divers, what they are doing & why. I think there was even mention of the food & the method that is use for feeding.

They have the little tide pools where you can touch the rays & crabs, etc. That wasn't new & Fisherman's Wharf & the Monterey Bay aquarium have more creatures to interact with, but interesting just the same. They have a great jellyfish tank too, it made me dizzy, like a kaleidoscope.

The final area is a huge tank with sharks & sea turtles, lots of other fish & a barracuda. The sharks & turtles were fun to watch. The setting is that you are in a sunken ship. There are glass windows for you to look out of in the walls, the floor & the ceiling. It was quite impressive.

We meandered back to Cesar’s Palace to catch the shuttle before the dinner hours. We stopped at the MGM Grand for a final look at the lions.

We also stopped in at Treasure Island since we hadn’t been there yet. They had an amazing custom chopper for viewing.

And we may have stopped and other hotels as we went. This was a pretty awesome honeymoon!
