Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay

Nevada’s only facility accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association boasts a 95,000-square-foot, two-million-gallon saltwater tank that houses more than 2,500 colorful fish and reptiles including nearly a dozen different shark species.

Fun fact: No animals in Shark Reef have names because the staff don’t want to regard wild animals as pets.
