On a somewhat unrelated note, in 1999 they opened an Aquarium themed restaurant. Sounds interesting. Anybody been there?

Guests enter from the first floor's Bamboo Bar and scale a circular staircase to the dining room. The steps wind around the world's largest fish tank, a 15,000 gallon, 35-foot cylindrical aquarium filled with a multitude of sea creatures and underwater vegetation. The second floor's circular, 200-seat dining space is surrounded by 36,000 gallons of water contained in floor-to-ceiling tanks. Here, more than 100 species of tropical fish from the Caribbean, South Pacific, Indian Ocean and Hawaiian water co-habitate. The dining room also features two additional tanks in the center of the room, home to a predatory lionfish and the small fish of the coral thicket and the living coral reef. Twice a day, guests stop in mid-meal to watch as marine biologists mingle and hand feed the fish, some of which are more than six feet long.
