SHARK REEF FUN!!
My 18 year old son and my future daughter in law bought his father and I tickets to a show at the MGM called KA and to an exhibit called the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to the deep blue world of Shark Reef Aquarium.
Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is not your typical aquarium. It's a total sensory experience designed to transport visitors to an undersea ocean with fantastic sights, sounds and encounters. Featuring dangerous and unusual aquatic animals from the world's tropical waters, Shark Reef Aquarium takes visitors on a journey through an ancient temple slowly being claimed by the sea.
Fourteen breathtaking exhibits are devoted to dangerous aquatic predators. The largest exhibit is the 1.3 million gallon shipwreck where visitors experience an almost 360°-degree view, teeming with sharks and fish through an acrylic tunnel. The touch pool is a popular attraction, where guests can touch our ever-changing collection of animals including sharks , rays or horseshoe crabs. More than 2,000 animals are displayed at Shark Reef Aquarium, over 100 different species and featuring 15 species of sharks.

Nice pics. I dont know the last time I've been to the aquarium. Those Komodo Dragons will surprise you. They tend to move slowly but they're pretty fast
I'm a curious one but that was a little scary lol :) :)
Hey jetiknight I have a question maybe you can help me with...there was a real disrespectful comment left on my post "ALMOST THERE" I don't wish to fight like children because believe me in real life I would f*** his shit up...how can I remove it ?? Thanks :(
You cant remove the post, you can only hide the particular post from your own view or highlight the persons name and click the mute button. This is the "other" side of being on a decentralized platform that we have to deal with. There's virtually no sensoring of comments. You can flag a comment but there's no authority figure or anyway (that I know of atleast) to actually remove the comment or even ban the individual from your page. Best thing to do is to simply put him on mute if he's being an asshat.
Yes he is...thank you so much :) :)
UPvoted for the picture of the turtle at the end! Looks like a super fun spot!
Thank you @raybilson...it was a fun spot and I love the turtle too..I bought teal turtle souvenir from there...a paper weight I think ..again thank you so much :) :)
Thank you to everybody reading, upvoting and showing support to this newbie...you rock :) :)
