Who knew that a TV show about manufacturing fish aquariums could be so interesting? But the popular Animal Planet show Tanked is just that. On this Las Vegas tour, you'll go behind the scenes of the 37,000-square-foot Acrylic Tank Manufacturing facility, and you just might bump into one of its TV personalities. Wayde and Brett, perhaps? Robbie Redneck or Agnes, maybe? Don't miss this insider look at reality TV.
If you’re curiously addicted to the Animal Planet television show Tanked, you don't want to miss this VIP look at the 37,000-square-foot (3,437-square-meter) Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) facility in Las Vegas, where the reality show takes place.
During your behind-the-scenes tour, find out how ATM came to be one of the world’s most prestigious fish-tank makers, and gawk at the many macaws and other animals that linger about the place. See aquariums being made, and learn from your guide about proper manufacturing techniques.
Hear how the Raymer and King families ended up with their own TV show and what it’s like to be a reality television star. The stars themselves may be around, so keep your eyes open for a glimpse of Brett, Wayde, Agnes or Robert, aka Robbie Redneck. Then get out your camera for a shot of yourself sitting on Brett’s perpetually messy desk, and see some of the amazing tanks ATM has created, some of which are shaped like pyramids and automobiles.
It was really cool to meet the staff from the TV show. I wish we could of seen something being build. Also we saw Redneck but he never talked to any one during the tour. But it was a great tour.

We were super excited to find out when we arrived that they were filming in the warehouse. Brett, Wayde and Redneck were involved in the scene. Learned lots of cool facts that were never on the show. There were a lot of people on the tour the day we went so they split us into two groups but that didn't stop Brett, Wayde, Redneck and the General from taking pictures and signing autographs with everyone. These guys were so down to earth and absolutely love what they do. There is a lot to do in Las Vegas, this was money well spent. We can't wait to see what they build next !

Great tour if you are a fan of the show. Cast members were extremely friendly and accommodating for pictures and questions. Wish tour company gave address to ATM Had to google address to their operation. Heard other tour fans complain that ATM did not have a major example of their work on display. All in all a great tour.

Our family had a great time. We live in Texas and love the show. Trish was a great tour guide and gave us some exclusive info! We met a bunch of the cast. All were super nice and good sports. A must stop in Las Vegas!

Had a really nice time on the tour. Got to take pictures with Brett and Wade, which was a really nice surprise ! Trisha was a great tour guide - she walked us through the office and shop/warehouse and shared lots of fun trivia about the show.

My 11 yr old is a big fan of the show. We loved how interactive Brett was with the group. It was really cool how we could go into his office and sit at his desk. Also was nice of Agnus to let us into her office as well. We would've loved if some of the other staff members came out to say hi, especially for the kids sake.

Review by: Jay N, January 2018
It was great meeting some of the cast but other than that it wasn't very good.
Review by: Marleah N, December 2017
This tour was awesome! We got to take pictures with Brett and Wayde. I was able to get a book signed by them. I loved seeing the drawings for new upcoming tanks. I would recommend this to any fan of tanked that’s in the Las Vegas area!

This tour was amazing and well worth it. We got to learn a lot about the crew and the history of ATM. We got to meet Brett, Wayde, The General, and the Twins. Got to see some current projects that were being worked on. They have a great little retail shop with some great stuff. If you love the show, this is well worth it. Highly recommend getting there early. Parking is slightly confusing to find. If you're lucky, the crew will be there and if you bought stuff you just might get it autographed. P

Trisha called us a before our scheduled visit to ask us if we could change our date because the stars would not be available on our date. That wa s very thoughtful. We did change our date and it was worth every dime we paid. She gave a great tour. The General, Brett and Wayde were available for photos and autographs. Everyone was gracious when their day was disruppted for us tourists. Recommend this tour.

It was the most amazing time I have ever had they are so personable and so nice. It is definitely worth the money . I honestly think I love the show more than I did even before I went . They took the time to take pictures and answer any question .
Review by: Timothy S, November 2017
This tour was highly anticipated by my group of 4, and even though the stars of the show were not on site, other members of the cast were, and they were approachable and very accommodating. We were allowed to take pictures with them, they answered questions, and they were so nice and friendly- like we were part of the Tanked family. We would do this tour again. We highly recommend it.
Review by: Adrian F, November 2017
Going behind the scenes of tanked was a great experience, seeing the guys and girls who do all the hard work in the offices and workshops is where all the hard work takes place ! Everyone who worked there was happy to talk about the great things they do and was also good to see what the future Tanked shows are going to be showing.
Review by: tracey c, October 2017
If you love this show, this is a must. We were made to feel welcome and it was a great experience
Review by: Ronald M, October 2017
It was a unbelievable experience with the actually family members and staff members participating in the whole experience. The three of us enjoyed the tour so much and learned so much about the operation and how things are done. Seeing everything up close and personal made a big difference in watching and enjoying the show just that much more. We really had a great time and enjoyed the whole tour so much. Keep up the great tours.
Review by: Kelly S, October 2017
My husband and I decided to take this Tanked tour because we love the show. The staff couldnt have been any nicer , and we got to meet Brett Raymer and his dad. The tour was very informative and interesting. We got to see some of the upcoming tanks and hear some of the interesting facts behind the scenes. Would recommend this if youre a fan of the show.

Review by: Mark P, October 2017
Such an amazing tour, awesome to see a family run business that has had so much success remain a family driven business and gives the personal touch, nothing fake about these guy's very real, down to earth and every bit the characters they are on TV. passionate about what they do and the environment. Amazing to learn of the story behind the birds in the ATM workshop. Tricia gave us a very special memory for our daughter who never misses an episode to take back to New Zealand with her. Be the best you will spend anywhere.
Review by: ryan b, October 2017
We got very lucky because the day of our tour the entire staff was on site. They were filming a scene or something so we got to see them all. Brett, Wade, Heather and Agnes all took time to take pictures with us. The General and Red Neck avoided the tour group but we managed to see them working. They are so friendly and what you see on the show is really what they are like in person. Brett and Wade talking like brother, Agnes and Heather bantering about signatures : is was a treat for our vacation.
Review by: AnnieB, October 2017
Being huge fans of the show, this was a MUST when planning our trip to Vegas. The tour was really personal, Trish Bretts partner lead the tour and we not only went into the offices and met some of the design team but we were also taken into the factory where we saw the famous oven and various coral inserts. We saw the General, Red Neck and also we met Wade and he was very friendly and we had our photo taken with him. Lovely to see it all in real life and to meet them too.

Review by: karen v, August 2017
It was great! My grandson loved it. He watches the show all the time. Everyone was very friendly. Everyone on the tour had opportunity to have pictures taken with Bret and the General, plus autographs. Very enjoyable. A different kind of Las Vegas experience.
Review by: Paula H, August 2017
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Vegas. We watch the show every Friday so when I found out they do tours it was excitement 100 til the day of our tour!_br/_ My husband, me and two boys ages 8 and 11 did the tour and we LOVED it!!_br/_ We got to see every star from the show - they were so nice and accommodating to all guests there._br/_ I highly recommend if you can fit this in your schedule while in Vegas, do so - you won't regret it. _br/_ The love letting you take pictures and will go through the entire crowd visiting to make sure everyone has their opportunity for a picture. _br/_ We definitely would do it all over again!! 5 stars for sure - even 10 stars would be more appropriate.

We loved this tour! Our children were so very excited to meet the cast from Tanked! It was very fun to see behind the scenes. The staff is beyond friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Went with our whole family - my son is 10 and daughter 7. Fantastic tour and the cast is so welcoming! Wayde took pics with folks, chatted with the kids and same for everyone there. If you enjoy the show you and #39;ll love the behind the scenes tour and getting a chance to meet the family!
Review by: Michael A, June 2017
Great Tour. Really nice that they try to get Brett and/or Wayde to meet and greet after the tour. I was amazed how much of a family operation this still is. Definitely worth the stop!
Review by: Nicki B, May 2017
Really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Victor was quite entertaining and the stars were very friendly.
Review by: Angela S, May 2017
Great tour! Brett came right out and started chatting and taking pics with all the tour guests. They made sure that all guests that wanted autographs and/or pictures got them. Even late comers to the group. Great story on how it all got started! Great tour hosted by Trisha! Definitely recommend!
Review by: Lori S, April 2017
Wow! this tour was amazing. Wayde and Brett were both there. They answered questions, signed autographs and took pictures with fans. It was really cool seeing the behind the scenes. I would definitely recommend this tour whether you watch the show or not.
Review by: Mike C, April 2017
This was one highlight of the entire trip. The moment we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff. We all met in the gift shop and about a half hour before the tour started is when Brett came out and met with everyone. He told us the rules and told us about some exciting stuff coming up this season. He took the time to meet with everyone and take a picture with them. He even took the time to autograph stuff people had purchased in the gift shop. We were there on a good day because the entire cast and crew were there. Shortly after Brett left the group we were greeted by his wife, she is not usually seen on the show. She is the one who led the tour. We were taken to where the tanks are hand drawn by the artist. We were even given a sneak preview of what is coming up for the new season. This area is the only area where we were not allowed to take photos we were taken out to the main floor where they are constructed and met all the macaws. We could see the other cast off to one side of the shop but as they were filming we had to keep the noise down and were unable to meet the rest of the cast. I suggest this tour to anyone who is a fan and to do it soon because the cast is becoming very busy and travel a lot more with each season. We were told 2 new shows are in the works so their time at ATM is going to become even less.
Review by: Tracylee A, March 2017
A must for any fan! Buy your gifts when you 1st arrive as you don't go back to the shop! Don't miss out.
Review by: chinphilip, January 2017

Nice tour... just disappointed the boys from Tanked were not there...
Review by: Lesley A, December 2016
We love the to show but the tour is not great you see the workshop and the offices the shop that great either but at least we got to meet Brett
Review by: Maryann W, November 2016
As a huge Tanked fan, I loved this tour. We started the tour in the store area with all kinds of Tanked memorabilia and huge tanks of exotic fish. Couldn't believe it when Brett came in to say hello, signed merchandise and took a picture with every tour member. Even my husband and son and daughter in law were impressed by this and they don't even watch the show, I had to drag them on the tour with me! Brett's girlfriend was the tour guide and she took us behind the scenes of the warehouse and office area. We met the artist who does all the tank renderings and saw previews of tanks that will be on upcoming episodes. We went into Brett and Wayne's offices and saw their tanks. Then into the warehouse area where they make the tanks and they were filming a future episode. We saw the general and Wayne while they were filming and then Agnes and Heather came up to us and we all got autographs and took pictures with them. What a thrill!! Best tour ever!
Review by: Norman G, November 2016
As fans of the show we couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit ATM on our recent trip to Las Vegas, and we were not disappointed!

Awesome, awesome tour. Trish, our guide, was outstanding. Couldn't have asked for a better birthday present to me. Everyone was super!!
Review by: Barry W, October 2016
Enjoyed every minute of this tour from arriving to leaving. Trisha our tour guide was extremely good keeping it fresh and enjoyable for everyone. This can and #39;t be an easy job when you do the same tour daily. The whole team could not do more for everyone in the group getting things signed and taking photos
