After a two-month transformation, The Mirage's famed lobby aquarium – already one of the most elaborate and technically advanced in the world – now offers visitors a new sensory escape. 


The addition of hundreds of new sea creatures to the exhibit provides a rare glimpse into the aquatic wonders of our planet.  Nearly 1,000 marine life forms now comprise a thriving undersea community within the 20,000 gallon display.  Sharks, stingrays and porcupine fish now can be seen swimming side-by-side with eels, sea bass and puffer fish behind four-inch thick acrylic walls.       


Top aquarium design experts, noted for their work at such distinguished facilities as California's Monterey Bay Aquarium and The National Aquarium in Baltimore, Md., collaborated to enhance the 53-by-8-foot display.   


New, brighter artificial corals call to mind the exotic beauty of such tropical locales as Australia's Great Barrier Reef.  In order to protect the environment it celebrates, The Mirage donated the exhibit's old reef system to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum.  The aquarium's filtration and life support systems also were replaced with technology that improves visibility and monitoring. 


The Mirage Lobby Aquarium is located directly behind the front desk.
