The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino offers a rare opportunity to see over 100 sharks, including 30 in the 1.3 million-gallon main tank, one of the largest in the United States. Visitors can walk through two underwater tunnels that provide close-up views of sharks and other marine creatures. The aquarium features 14 exhibits with more than 2,000 animals such as pufferfish, green sawfish, piranhas, Moray eels, jellyfish, and reptiles. A touch pool lets visitors handle horseshoe crabs and various rays. This indoor wildlife attraction is located inside the Mandalay Bay Casino complex and provides relief from the desert heat. The visit typically lasts between one and two hours. Included with admission is access to the Undersea Explorer VR Experience, where guests watch a pre-show before entering a 36-seat motion-platform theater wearing VR headsets. The virtual experience simulates swimming alongside a humpback whale and diving near a 15-foot tiger shark. Tickets cover entry and box office fees but exclude hotel pickup, drop-off, and parking or valet charges. Visitors may enter up to 59 minutes after their ticket time. Infants under five enter free, and children must be accompanied by an adult during the VR segment if under five. Same-day ticket pickups require at least two hours from ordering time.
