Yes, but in my case I want to see ALL the cool aquariums. :)
I've probably been to 20-30 in the last ten years including both Sea
Worlds mentioned (I visit San Diego's annually).

But that's the ONLY reason I'd stay at Atlantis. Don't get me wrong, I'm
perfectly happy to sell it to people who want to stay there. But, dollar
for dollar, I could think of a lot better places to spend my money,
especially since I prefer places without casinos.

Then again, my preference generally is for smaller and more rustic.
