Tourists in Las Vegas pay $1,000 for dinner on the Strip while sharks eat like royalty

The casino's lead aquarist, Becky O'Brien, told the AP she feeds 15 species of sharks three times a week.

"They eat, I would say, better than the tourists on the Strip," O'Brien said.

Sharks are omnivorous, eating meat and plants - but are also known to eat anything, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

She said that if the sharks turn down the food, it may be a sign they have an illness or are interested in mating.

"Once you get to work with these guys on a daily basis, you do learn little nuances of how each one feeds a little bit differently," O'Brien said.

She added, "Each species is a little bit different."

Fox News Digital previously spoke to a woman named Sarah from Staten Island, New York, who was visiting Vegas.
