Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

If you are looking for some fun, and family-friendly activities while on the Las Vegas Strip, you should definitely check out Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay.

This aquarium offers viewings of a large variety of marine life, including several sharks as the name would suggest. In addition to being able to see different species, there is also an opportunity to touch sting rays and other critters in a designated area.

During our visit, they also had a special exhibit included with admission. This exhibit focused on polar region animals, and was entirely a virtual interactive exhibit. With the aid of technology you could walk on ice rafts before they cracked, or help a sperm whale swim to catch up the group and much more.

We traveled to southeastern Missouri, to...

Las Vegas - First Time Visitors

Image
Whether you love the party atmosphere, go for the gambling, or are a bit skeptical of Las Vegas like I was, that city really does have something for everyone. Outside of the neon lights and extravagant hotels and casinos, Las Vegas is a convenient place to fly into on your way to numerous destinations, including Hoover Dam , Zion National Park , Grand Canyon National Park , Death Valley National Park , and much more. As first time Vegas visitors ourselves, let me share some tips we found useful: Go during the week. To avoid the extra crowds and get better rates at hotels, book a stay on the strip during the week, where you can easily walk to many places you want to see. Walk into and browse the different hotels and casinos. Each one has a unique theme to attract visitors. It is free to browse, but be aware, you can find it difficult to find your way out sometimes. There are lots of one-of-a-kind attractions all along the strip. CVS and Walgreens are your friend. If you do want to ...
