Yeah! I get to play a little. Had a friend in town from Chicago so I took a break and visited a few places I had never been to yet. You have got to visit the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. It had the most awesome animal displays. They house a couple of the very few Golden Crocs in the world. Also had to see the Star Trek experience, I love Star Trek.

This is my friend Mark. We ate dinner at Quark's Restaurant at the Star Trek experience. This is the beer sampler. Yummy...

This is Quark., the owner of this fine eatery.

Reptile aliens, my favoite. I think this is a Tork, but don't hold me to it.

Top of the Stratosphere. I'm a little pale. I just got off the rollercoaster and the Big Shot rides and Mark wants to go on them again...

Pretty Albino Crocodile Babies...
The water monitor is a little hazy as the misting system kicked on at I took the photo. He's so comfy.

Big stone cobra head. I'm goofing around.

The Green Tree Python Exhibit. Look up! They use the same heat panels I recommend.

I actually got to pet a shark!

Scary Shark!

These photos do not do justice to the jellyfish exhibit. They glow with the black lighting.

Awesome exit foyer at the Reef. Good choice to use snakes.
