It is quite a walk through the hotel to get to this place. Take your time and enjoy it rather than just quickly just walking through it. The kids really enjoyed the place especially the jelly fishes and the sharks. The second part (the video) was really good.

It was all great. Particularly enjoyed the virtual reality part. Seeing all of the creatures swimming above and below.

A fun break from the usual Las Vegas attractions. Cool sea critters. You can do the event in 45 minutes or less. It was very good- but the most amazing aquarium is in Scottsdale. I had that as my benchmark. Seeing the shark exhibit with huge sawfish was very cool.
