Located inside the Silverton Casino, the Silverton Auquarium has been named “The best free attraction in Las Vegas.” The 117,000 gallon aquarium is family friendly and exhibits thousands of fish in its highly decorated waters. Guests can also enjoy the company of turtles and ducks in the canyon river of the Bass Pro Shop.
Perhaps the most thrilling fish are the ones that can talk to visitors. Live mermaids can be found swimming or lounging around the aquarium. Guests can even dine with the friendly sea creatures and shoot the sea breeze, as it were. The mermaids aren’t just for entertainment, either; they have been featured on television and are an integral part of Project Mermaid, which works with the Save Our Beach Foundation to better shorelines.
