I wonder what the general policy is with reef life and tanks that exist on the Vegas strip and other casinos. Due to work I have to spent a good amount of time in Las Vegas. There are quite a few casinos and restaruants that have reef or at least fish only tanks. My concern is that probably every one that I have ever seen has had dead fish with clear signs of communcable disease. If I ever mention this to the workers with close proximity to the tanks they always imply that it happens often and they have people that will take care of it. Makes me think that the way Vegas works they will just chuck out the dead fish and replace. I know that some of the more high profile tanks they take care of because of the attention they recieve, but is this so for some of the smaller tanks? At what these businesses are willing to expend I think it is totally feesable they could replace fish each week maybe even per day with little care. Hope that isn't the case, but definently a concern. Today's example was a dead acchilles (about 4" long) tang with a clear case of ich. This area was only opened on the 1st, which may be the reason, but still concerns me that these people will treat them like decoration that can be reaplaced daily without remedying the situation.

Back from the dead, this thread comes....Just got back from Vegas and all I can say is WOW. Someone with no knowledge but lots of money set those tanks up. One I remember @the Hilton there was a yellow tang (4-5") in with an emporer angel (10-12") and roughly 10-12 damsels (counting a tomato clown) in about 90 gallons. The rockwork was tight and the fish were fighting over the covered sections. The little kids were amazed because the fish were playing together.
