Discover the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

Las Vegas may be located in a landlocked state, yet it is famously known for its vibrant attractions, including North America’s only predator-based aquarium located at the iconic Mandalay Bay Resort. This unique destination not only showcases a variety of sea animals but also offers the thrilling opportunity for guests to swim alongside them.

The Shark Reef Aquarium is home to approximately 15 species of sharks, including sand tiger, sandbar, and white tip reef sharks. After enjoying a tour and an equipment orientation, certified divers can embrace their adventurous side by entering a 1.3-million-gallon tank full of these fascinating predators.

The dive experience is priced at $650 for one diver and $1,000 for two. This fee incorporates all necessary equipment and provides a video document of your underwater adventure. Availability for this experience is on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons.

A Captivating Underwater Experience

For those who prefer to observe rather than dive, the aquarium features a tunnel that provides an almost 360-degree view into the world beneath the surface of the water. In total, the Shark Reef Aquarium consists of 14 exhibits and houses over 2,000 animals, including species such as piranhas, giant stingrays, and endangered green sea turtles.
