The Aquarium at the Silverton Hotel

Large fish tank located at the Silverton Hotel, specifically next to the entrance of the Bass Pro Shop.
On Saturday, December 26, around 4:45 pm, my husband and I decided to check out this «aquarium» (which is really one large salt water fish tank). This hotel is not dog friendly, but Bass Pro Shop is. And since we had brought one of our dogs, my husband and I decided to just carry our dog and hold her while we were waiting for the show at 5 pm.
Anyways, this tank has plenty of sea life to look at (beautiful colorful fish, coral, plants, etc). There were plenty of kids sitting on the floor in the front, waiting for the 5 pm mermaid show.
A little before the show, a scuba diver comes out and gets the air valve ready for the mermaid. All of the children and people around get excited since this means the show is going to start shortly.
Slowly as the mermaid is lowered on a swing down into the water, she comes out and blows kisses and waves to the audience. The person who plays the mermaid has a beautiful red tail that is quite blingy.
After a few kisses and a little swimming here and there, my husband and I (and our little dog), decided to leave. I am sure most people come to see the fish feeding and the mermaid show, but my husband really enjoyed looking at all the fish and coral in the tank.
By the way, it must have been okay to bring our dog with us (we did hold her the whole time though) to view the tank because there was one hotel employee walking around and he did see us with our dog. But he did not say anything. So if you happen to at Bass Pro Shop with your dog, you may be able to view the tank (but you may have to have a small dog with you that you can carry though).
By the way, there is a restaurant right around the corner from this tank and there is also restrooms very close by in case you need to use them.

This hotel is very nice and the aquarium is on the must see list for Las Vegas. I stopped in to check it out and was pleased to have come during a Mermaid feeding. The aquarium is gorgeous! Great for children to see but as an adult I enjoyed it too. The casino was enjoyable to play in as well. I loved the Britney Spears Slot machine and actually won almost all my money back from my previous losses on the strip. Wouldn’t mind seeing the rooms at this hotel. Will definitely check it out in the future!

This is a great free attraction in vegas right off the strip for the kids. They also have a lounge right next to it for the adults. Mermaids come out to interact with the children, blow kisses, do flips, blow bubbles and overall show the guests a nice time. They have a variety of colorful fish, sharks and sting rays as well. Call ahead for the schedule of sting rays feedings and encounters with the mermaids. Again, such a great attraction for the kids!

It’s a casino aquarium. So it’s not really going to be anything amazing when it’s small. But this floor to ceiling aquarium is full of fishies and sharks and whatnot, and it’s serene and neat to see. They also have mermaids that do a free show in this aquarium. And during Christmas, there’s a Santa that dives into the aquarium and does a free show with the mermaids. Now that is pretty freaking cool. So yep, I’m a fan.

An aquarium inside the bar of a very old casino with very bad service very far away from the Strip?! No way! Let’s go there!
Okay, this review is 100% for the MERMAID Show at the Silverton Aquarium. If this review was for the actual bar or the casino, I would have to give it –1 star. The host was rude, the waitresses were rude and idiotic (who says I don’t know when you ask them what type of drinks do you have at this bar?), and they almost, almost didn’t bring out the mermaids.
When we first got there, the host told us that there was no mermaid show and that it was cancelled. After I got my NY on, he went to talk to the manager and then came back out and said that it was our lucky day, that the mermaids were coming on after all. (WTF?) We waited, and waited, while these two incompetent waitresses in shimmery blue Judy Jetson like spacesuit dresses came to take our order even though they clearly didn’t work there on the regular as they did not know any food or beverage items on the menu. They didn’t seem to know very much at all, now that I think about it.
I could feel the eyes of all the girls that I had brought there on me, wondering why the f I brought them to this godforsaken place.
Suddenly, the aquarium behind us came alive, first a scuba diver came into the tank, and then… oh then. the most miraculous sight I have ever seen — a MERMAID. I forgot all my troubles and woes and glued myself to the aquarium to watch her swim, blow bubbles, spin around, laugh, giggle, blow kisses, and pose for pictures. It was me, my sister, some of the other ladies who came with us and about 50 children. For the first time, I was the tallest one at the attraction! #winning
I don’t really care though, one of my dreams in life has been fulfilled. I have finally seen a mermaid in real life. Now, if only she didn’t wear googles or have to take breathes out of a tube every couple of minutes. Then, my life would be complete.
No, but seriously, regardless of that, it is still very cool to see a mermaid. Only in Vegas.

If you have kids and plan on making a special trip out here to see the mermaids, maybe reconsider: website lists «mermaid swim» hours, but we arrived to see two girls sitting in chairs beside a Meet & Greet sign. One was wearing a tail, another was in heels, both wore bored expressions and neither got in the water at any point. How disappointing.
More exciting than the cloudy, circular tank of dull, muted fish was the adjacent waterfall area of koi, ducks, and turtles at the Bass Pro shop.

Make sure to call the hotel and speak to the operator for the hours of when mermaid comes out to swim. We went to the 11:30 — 12:45 and the mermaids swim every 15 min. One of the mermaids came all the way to interact with the kids but another one just swam at top and blew kisses. Super fun for the kids!

It’s a unique place in Vegas. I found it on the web and is one of the recommended free attractions.
You have to drive out south to get here.
The Aquarium is supposed to have mermaid performing, but we did not see the performance that day.
There are a lot of fish swimming around, but watch out for kids chasing around the fish in the tank.
Three stars for maybe not going back again, unless my friend wants to.

The mermaid show is pretty cool, this is one of the first things that you see when you enter the casino!

I adore this aquarium. My favorite thing to do when I visit the Silverton is grab a seat in the Mermaid Bar and just watch the fish swim by.
My fella is able to watch the games on the tv and there is something for me to do as well.
My favorite are the puffer fish and l rays. Everything seems ok when you watch the fish swim by.

It was pretty much what I expected except for the mermaids. Kind of a let down not to see them but still nice to see and very relaxing to sit next to with the pro shop waterfall in the background. Overall it was a nice change from the overcrowded strip for a change.

Checked out Silverton Aquarium because it was FREE. Park by Bass Pro Shops and then it’s closer to the Aquarium. They have a bunch of glass and you can sit or stand to see the aquarium. I wasn’t able to see the Mermaid show or the Underwater Santa, just a bunch of fish.
Some mermaid art gallery next to it, meh and cheesy.
Only takes a few minutes to see them, but something to do when you don’t want to spend money in Vegas.

Very nice big aquarium! Pretty colors! Lots of fish! At my visit, I was sad that I didn’t get to see the person in side dressed as a mermaid. Oh well. Next time. I’m glad that they actually do that though! I don’t know any other place that does that kind of stuff. Great way to get the kids jumping & happy about it.

This is a cool aquarium tank. It is clean and a nice place to sit back and relax. It is located off the casino floor so its a nice place to sit back and relax.

Neat! I finally got to see a mermaid after 3 trips. Very cool. She blew kisses to a lot of the boys. She also did tricks.
The fish are beautiful. And tank is very clean.
I would like to see a live feeding they advertise. Today the stingray feeding was cancelled. But I’m sure it’s cool.
You can see the water falls near by from bass pro shop.

This is a pretty neat tank. The bf and I decided to come here before heading back to LA. We saw kids and adults sitting down on the floor looking at the tank so I just had to ask an employee if there was going to be a show and sure enough she said yes. They had one at 2:15 on Sunday. I was expecting a wow factor but there wasnt really much to see. The mermaid just swam from side to side to say hi to everyone, blow kisses, & pose for the camera. It was cool to experience it as a first timer for the first few minutes. So just come on in and enjoy :) the kids will definitely love it!

This aquarium is located right in the area between the bass pro shop and the silverton casino. It consists of one large floor to ceiling glass tank and holds a considerable variety of tropical fish as well as a mermaid. Yes, a mermaid! And boy is she cute! I’m not sure if there’s a specific schedule of mermaid shows but when she’s swimming, she’s very lively and interactive with the crowd, especially children. Fear not though middle aged dudes, she’ll wave to you too! If I had a family or was on a date, this would be a really great site to take in. And best of all, it’s free! Did I mention that the mermaid is really cute?!?

The parking is free provided by the casino, at first I got a little lost how to find the Aquarium I ask someone if they new right away the guided me through the casino and it was all the way to the end I loved the lights of the slot machines and then we got there and it was a big tank and right away the mermaid show started after we were done taking our pictures we went to the bass fishing store we saw a shark and more fishes they have a big waterfall were there fishes are in! I really enjoyed coming here!

I have yet to see the Mermaid in the tank, but this is still a very cool little thing to check out if you happen to be at the Silverton (which I was last week).
Located right next to the Mermaid Lounge when you enter the doors at Valet, the tank has plenty of aquatic life within. Many different species of fish and a bunch of sting rays seem to always be moving about.
Also, behind the tank is some Mermaid related artwork, some of which is very cool and all of which are very expensive, if you wish to purchase it!
Of course it is free to check out and you can’t beat that!
4 stars.

A free aquarium in Las Vegas? Gotta go check it out. Haha, after going to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, my family decided to check out the Silverton Aquarium at the Silverton Casino. We asked one of the staff when it closes, and she said, «it’s always open!» So apparently it isn’t really an aquarium, per say. It’s a big huge tank in the middle of the casino where anybody can enjoy the peace and solace that the view of the fish provide for you.
This aquarium is located between the Bass Pro Shop and the Mermaid Lounge, which are both in the back of the Silverton Casino. There are a few chairs in front of the 360 degree tank where you can sit down to enjoy the view. I believe there are even a few small sharks in the tank! As you walk around the tank, each particular panel always has different fish, and there is even a part of the aquarium where you can walk up to the fish and feel as if you’re a part of them, too! Really really worth the experience, especially if you have kids and you want a nice and cheap (free!) place to visit. There are beautiful drawings of mermaids on the wall, and I believe they also have live feedings and mermaids that will come and swim around once or twice a day.
This aquarium, along with the waterfall from the Bass Pro Shop really give Vegas a different perspective, if that makes sense. Be sure to check it out!
