Mirage Hotel
As you check
in at the front desk, you'll be greeted by a
20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium stocked with
angelfish, pufferfish, tangs and other exotic
sea creatures - including 3 different kinds of
sharks.
Managed by The Mirage's own in-house
marine biologists, the aquarium accommodates more than
1,000 coral-reef species from Australia, Hawaii, Tonga,
Fiji, the Red Sea, the Marshall Islands, the Sea of Cortez
and the Caribbean. These sea animals were all selected for
their adaptivity to the environment and compatibility with
other species.
One of the most elaborate and
technically advanced aquariums in the world, the tank is
53 feet long, eight feet from top to bottom, and six feet
from front to back. The interior was carefully created to
simulate an intricately detailed, artificial coral reef.
To preserve the living reefs in the ocean, no live coral
is used in the tank.
