A bit of a drive off the strip for a small attraction when faced with epic Vegas-proportions. More of a large tank (occasionally featuring mermaids) but an assortment of fish with festive decorations. Full seating all the way around, including seating at the restaurant/bar. A security guard even joked the tank is the size of a bathtub...if youre really really rich which made me laugh. More to see if continuing on thru Bass Pro Shops.But all-in-all for a free attraction with free parking, it was something my toddler fully enjoyed. All the Silverton staff were extremely helpfulPro-Tip: to make the most of a trip, be sure to plan around mermaid viewing time on Saturdays and Sundays, or the mermaid school swimming attraction for young kids ($100/child). Otherwise plan to take longer to get the kids rounded up out of the car walking there than actually walking through the aquarium which is really walking around the fish tank.

I’ve taken my daughter multiple times to see the mermaid but we’ve never actually seen her! The aquarium is very serene and calm. We enjoy sitting in various spots and just watching the sea life.

The aquarium is nice with some sharks and sting rays. Younger kids will definitely enjoy the mermaid show they have every hour. A mermaid will come out and do some tricks as well as interact with the kids. There is also a bass pro shop store there thats has multiple mini exhibits which have animals in different poses and animal heads as well.

Fun for adults and children alike! They have mermaid shows every 15-30 minutes where a live actor gets inside the tank they also have a great selection of fish and sea life in the aquarium. The aquarium is massive and the sea life inside seem very happy and taken good care of which of course is most important.

Like the aquarium, its not big but enough to engage kids for a while. Entry is free but the area around aquarium couldnt stand 5-6 people if social distancing is considered.

This is not an aquarium! It’s a big fish tank... totally disappointed!

I enjoy this beautiful aquarium a lot! The best perk is that its free. It doesnt hurt anything that a mermaid appears in it on schedule throughout the day. Also, 2 times a day I believe, they feed the stingrays. The mermaid art work around it is also nice to gander at. The mermaid bar has cute chairs that look like mermaids tails. Its possible to sit at the bar with a view of the fish tank.

I could have stayed all day. This is a beautiful aquarium. There are many different varieties and sizes of fish, including stingrays and puffer fish. Its well kept and clean, the fish all look healthy. We even saw a scuba driver hand feeding the stingrays!

FREE99!! Free parking garage, free mermaid show.I was pleasantly surprised that they had a holiday festive theme to the aquarium decorations. This was thanksgiving and I cant wait to see what they have for xmas.They really do have a resident marine biologist that takes audience Q&A while swimming underwater and feeding the fish. Its adorable!They also have a wall behind the tank lined with mermaid themed gorgeous artwork (which is up for sale).The casino area immediately around the tank is clean, smoke-free and aquatic themed.4 stars only because aquarium was smaller than I wanted.

This is a beautiful, well maintained aquarium. At least right now, on Saturdays and Sundays there are mermaids in the aquarium in the late morning. You can pay if you want to be in the tank with them. The tank has a wide variety of fish: sharks, sting rays, puffer fish, clown fish, etc.

Review №14

Aquarium is awesome, and the mermaids are super friendly. There are tons of interesting and fun fish to look at. Its for sure worth the visit and to stick around for the fish feeding.

Review №15

Great to bring kids. They hired a mermaid who interacts with people from the other side of the glass. She looks like she loves her job. Its right next to the outdoors shop. Make sure you visit if you go to cracker barrel or something.

Review №16

Everything I saw sold this as an extravagant experience however my 3 kids were bored by the aquarium and the mermaid swim experience lasted all of 30 seconds from our side. My daughters did enjoy the mermaid pictures that were available however that wasnt part of the aquarium it is its own entity.

Review №17

It was a nice size tank and a girl was inside swiming around dressed up as mermaid. It was free to go in didnt have to pay. The casino sucked was no free play for signing up with them and not one machine paid out. The aquarium was the best thing there.

Love the aquarium with the kids for a fun outing.Not really much else here for the kids but it is a nice stop for some good photo ops and a little interaction if you happen to go when the mermaids are in the tank.Santa for the holidays.

Its a beautiful well kept tank. There are fish feedings and mermaids, with a nice little mermaid bar restaurant right next to the tank. Its a fun free thing to do when you need something to do.

Review №25

Lots of tropical fish and sea creatures to view. It wasnt very crowded and therefore an enjoyable and calming experience. There are feeding times and mermaid swims so plan accordingly so you dont miss out. Did I mention its FREE! The adjacent mermaid bar is convenient and a fun theme too!

Out of the Strip noise and close to the airport is a nice place to stay

Review №37

We waited between 30 and 45 minutes for the mermaid show. It was underwhelming to say the least.The most irritating part of it...between 2 signs saying NO PERSONAL PHOTOS was a crowd of people staring at their cell phone cameras.I got tired of being the only rule follower and snapped some pictures, too.The casino bar is on one side of this aquarium, if you need something to drown out the sounds of happy children.

Review №38

Awesome free aquarium. The tank with the mermaids is lovely and they make the experience great for kids. Once you go further into the Bass Pro Shop, you see more/different fish, and the way they position and landscape the tanks and fountains is awesome. Would be cool if they had more information about the fish (what they are, where/how they got them) but overall an excellent way to spend some free time.

Review №42

It was one of the best free aquariums I have ever been to. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of fish to see (sharks, rainbow trout, puffer fish, + more I cant name) and there are more tanks to see if you go inside the Bass Pro Shop. Props to the mermaids they really tried to make the experience whimsical and amazing for the children!

Nice simple aquarium. In all clarity, its a giant tank. Large viewing areas. Next to it is pro bass and there is a waterfall there. Young kids especially will like it. It will easily amuse them for about 15 to 20 minutes.

I took my 18 year old niece and daughter to this attraction, as there is not much 18 year olds can do in Vegas....I learned after planning the trip. Although this attraction is more for younger children...it was enjoyable.#letsguide

Its a really nice feature is you happen to be at the casino anyway. We went specifically to see the aquarium so it was a little underwhelming. Didnt see the mermaid show so cant comment on it.

Not a big aquarium. It’s a single round shape aquarium but decent fishes. A few large stingrays are the main attraction.Feeding time is around 1 and 4 pm. Kinds fun.Go visit Bass Pro Shop attached to the hotel. Worth a visit.

Review №77

This is more of a fish tank than aquarium. When I think of an aquarium, at a minimum I think of the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Ive visited The Clearwater Aquarium, The Florida Aquarium, MOTE Aquarium, Sea World Orlando and the old Aurora, Ohio location, countless zoos with Aquariums. This is a lovely fixture, but this isnt what I consider an aquarium.

I saw the sign that said best aquarium and best free attraction in Las Vegas so we drove in. Very smoky second-rate Casino and aquarium tank okay but nothing spectacular. The Bass Pro Shop was cool and more interesting than the aquarium attraction.

Review №85

The food was great... Ive gave this a 3 because we went there especially for the aquarium and to seeing the mermaid. The aquarium was awesome but the mermaid stayed in one place in the front. Meanwhile we were in the back where the seats were waiting for her to come, and she next did. My grandparents are up in age and dont like to stand long so I thought it will be a great place to interact with her at. Needless to say they didnt get to interact but seen glimpse of her. They got excited when she came from the top and thought she was going to swim around but she swim a lol bit over.

This is one of the best free indoor attractions available to families. From the aquarium to the giant nature displays in Bass Pro Shop, your kids will be distracted for quite a while.
