🗣️ The Aquarium at Silverton Casino: Reviews
Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful aquarium with a lot of really cool marine life and even mermaid shows. There are many different types of fish ranging from small, colorful fish to baby sharks to massive stingrays. Best part? It’s free of charge. Of course, the only downside to this is that it’s extremely crowded but hey, you get what you pay for. Parking is somewhat difficult and rather expensive but of course that’s expected if you’re in the Vegas area. Nevertheless, this is one of the coolest places I have been to during my time here in Vegas and if you’re in the area you should definitely check it out. Interestingly they have a bass pro shops right next to the aquarium and there’s even a waterfall with a koi fish pond at the bottom in front of the store. And of course, it’s right there in the middle of a casino so you can check that out as well.
Positive experience: I visited the casino, as well as the Bass Pro Shop next door, to have something in exchange for your money is a better experience for me, that's why I would rather shop than leave it to luck.
Positive experience: very interest8ng aquarium and convinient for people who lives in the hotel. we also spent some time on the painting and try to figure our the 3 mermaid, it's fun.
Positive experience: Never even heard of the casino. It was right across the parking lot from my hotel. The casino is clean and the aquarium is cool to watch, fish are a trip....
Fantastic experience: The aquarium was very nice. There were a variety of fish, sharks, and manta rays. The mermaids did a wonderful job interacting with children and was very graceful while swimming. The viewing area had plenty of standing and sitting areas. The chairs were very comfortable and some even had a mermaid tail on the back of the chair. Additionally, Bass Pro Shop is right by it, connected to the Silverton so you can check it out, too.
Fantastic experience: I think this is the best free experience to check out at least once. My kids love it. And we will go back again and again.
Fantastic experience: Honestly great place to go with kids or anybody that wants a fun place to go for a free air conditioned break in Vegas. The mermaid show I think is every 30 mins from the time it says online. It's a 15 mins mermaid show and is pretty cool. She blows air bubbles hearts and halos and the kids absolutely love it. Added bonus, Bass pro shop is right next door (literally like 10 ft) and they are huge with lots of taxidermied animals that are also great for kids.
Positive experience: Machines are " Hungry " (nothing new ).. the Aquarium is really cool ... The restaurant that serves the 10.99 steak and eggs ( forgot the name) is great !!
Positive experience: Always a great place to stop and relax. Enjoy the show and beautiful art work.
Fantastic experience: All of the kids in my family (young and old) love coming to this place! I bring everyone here! The aquarium is beautiful and if you catch the mermaids it’s even better. We love to walk through the Bass Pro Shop here too. If it’s cooler, the outside area is nice with fire pits and seating. Great place to hang out for free! Parent g is free too! I can’t really comment on the casino itself, I’ve never won anything there.
Fantastic experience: Very nice,lots of marine life all kinds,small, big.
Fantastic experience: Please, for the love of God, bring back your buffet! A beautiful casino just up the road from the strip. It always feels like home.
Positive experience: Went to see the mermaid show. When we arrived we had no idea where to go. Had to ask where the show was. After an hour wait, we were able to see 1 mermaid & a diver. Don't know if that was the show. Was not what we expected. Btw, the location to see the mermaid show is inside at the entrance of Bass Pro shop.
Fantastic experience: Had dinner at Mi Casa Grill Cantina inside the Silverton Casino—everything was on point! We ordered the California burrito and the chili verde, and both were excellent. Chips and salsa were tasty, and we asked for the extra spicy salsa—so good! ️ The margaritas were fantastic, and the service was super friendly. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: First of all, the Silverton Casino is well worth the visit. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted by a beautiful mesmerizing large aquarium. I could sit and watch this aquarium all day! Which is right next to the Bass Pro Shop. This is a must see site!!!
Positive experience: Good free attraction for children. Free parking. Restaurant is family friendly.
Fantastic experience: Very interesting to see all the different verity of fish and even a mermaid that appears a few times a day.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium is the centerpiece of a hotel/casino with little more to offer. It's not enough though to pull Silverton above a generous three star rating.
Positive experience: It's beautiful and they have a mermaid
Positive experience: the mermaid show was unique. we enjoyed it. for all the adults visiting this aquarium, the mermaid blows kisses to kids only lol. you are literally invisible to her
Fantastic experience: We initially came for the $1 and $2 HAPPY Hour specials for Teachers, Veterans, and First Responders (check out their website for details!!!) but ended up falling in love with the Mermaid show. The Jellyfish Bar was totally our vibe. Chill, BEAUTIFUL decor, friendly staff, and underwater entertainment that brought us back 3 afternoons in a row. This will forever be a stop when we are in town!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful layout and always a highlight when I get to enjoy some quiet time watching the fish swim around. Sadly we went on one of the only days, the Mermaids aren't on duty. Which was my hidden motive for this visit. Took a friend, to surprise her and cheer her up from a rough week. Bummer about the Mermaids, but she fell in love with a tiny version of "Gill" from "Finding Nemo". So I still say, it was, Mission Accomplished! Thanks for the memories, Dick's Sporting goods!
Fantastic experience: was a very nice experience. you could take littles but it is in the casino and it is very loud which could be very overwhelming to kids. the mermaids put on a great show
Fantastic experience: Loved this show for the little kids. They have a show every 30 minutes. Except for 3:30 to 5:00. Kids will love it.
Fantastic experience: Nice little quick Aquarium stop for family and casual photo taking. Located between Bass Pro Shops and the Silverton slots. *The paint on the roads on W Shelbourne Ave seems to be a little faded on several stop signs. Hopefully they add new or more visible paint 6.8.25
Fantastic experience: Beautiful aquarium. It's free to everyone. Several times a day you can watch scuba divers get into the tank to feed the fish.
Fantastic experience: Came to the aquarium and showed up right in time to see the Sting Rays get fed. Waited another few minutes and got to see the mermaid show. For it being free, it was pretty good and definitely gave us something to burn some time.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium is an amazing site to see. Looking at the fish gliding through the water is soothing and relaxing. The Casino seems to have improved recently with less smoking, new games and not a lot of crowds.
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a family-friendly adventure in Las Vegas, the aquarium at the Silverton Casino is a must-visit! The 117,000-gallon reef tank is home to thousands of tropical fish, stingrays, and sharks, and the live mermaid shows are a huge hit with kids and adults alike. The mermaids interact with guests, perform flips, and really bring the underwater world to life—it’s magical and memorable, and best of all, it’s completely free to watch. Despite being inside a casino, the smoke smell isn’t overwhelming, and if you park at Bass Pro Shops, you can walk right through to the aquarium without going through the gaming floor. The whole area feels welcoming for families, with plenty of seating and great views of the tank from every angle. The aquarium is right next to Bass Pro Shops, which has its own freshwater tanks and fun displays, so there’s plenty to explore before or after the show. The Silverton Aquarium proves there are genuinely fun, wholesome things to do in Vegas with kids. The displays are beautiful, the artwork is impressive, and the atmosphere is lively but not chaotic. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, family-friendly experience off the Strip!
Fantastic experience: It's great for the small kids that come through and the adults. It's unique and well worth stopping by for and it's free.
Positive experience: Tbh, not that special. It's fine if you're staying here, but I wouldn't go out of the way for it.
Fantastic experience: Always a fun and calm place to come. Just to relax with swimming fish and soft lights. The mermaid was in the tank entertaining the families. I come about once a week just to reflect and relax
Positive experience: Nice sized circular aquarium with seating so you can relax and watch the fish swim by. There is a smaller window inside a faux cave-like entrance too. They have mermaid shows and feedings as well.
Fantastic experience: An attraction on its own, and its a must-see in Las Vegas! Mermaids are performing amazing shows with fish, stingrays and other inhabitants of the aquarium. Actually came to the Silverton just to see this but stayed for some casino fun and it was great. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: A different experience. Was fun to watch everyone really enjoy themselves.
Fantastic experience: 117,000 gallon aquarium. Do not miss the mermaid show.
Fantastic experience: Lots of fish to see and mermaid performances per schedule. Best of all it's free and right next to Bass Pro Shop, which also has some interesting aquariums.
Fantastic experience: Mermaid was cool. Rays were pretty. Smaller than I'd like but for free worth it. Check out the bar and the jelly fish if you can.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium is lovely! A piece of serenity in the casino din. I wish we could have seen a mermaid, maybe next time!
Fantastic experience: It's cool just to go there and hang out and check out all the fish.
Fantastic experience: This a great little attraction for the kids! It’s free and located off of the main entrance. Lots of different species to see. Lots of fish in there. “Mermaids” come out to show themselves a few times a day, and there are feeding times for the rays! Overall a great aquarium
Negative experience: Never have won here. I'm not sure why I keep trying it guess I did my donation for the Night.
Fantastic experience: Really nice small aquarium, good to visit with the family.
Fantastic experience: I come here every other day to check on the fish. I love this casino! The Bass Pro shop is also inside.
Fantastic experience: Love the manta's, they come right to the edge so you can see them up close.
Fantastic experience: You have a 360° view of the aquarium, and watching the sea life is so calming. If you're lucky on certain days, you may even catch a glimpse of a mermaid...
Fantastic experience: It's fantastic watching the mermaid ‍♀️ and the saltwater fishes, but what i enjoy the most is watches the babies and adults ooohhhs and aawwweee as the kids jump up and down with excitement but maybe one day I'll see one of the kids training to be a mermaid ‍♀️ ‍♀️
Fantastic experience: A very neat big aquarium right at the front entrance between the casino and the Cabelas. The fish all looked healthy and happy. There was a fun mix of schooling and non schooling fish. Whoever put the tank together also made sure to have fish that like to hang out at different levels so the entire tank is lively. We were there near easter and they had big easter eggs hidden around inside the tank. It was some sort of scavenger hunt for kids. I don't know what the official smoking policy here is, but I didn't smell anything which is an added bonus and makes it a good choice to bring kids to see.
Fantastic experience: Clean and not crowded.....so both things great. The ahopa and the restaurant amazing.
Fantastic experience: It's small and nice. Performances run on Sundays. There are free chargers (via Charge point), 6 kW
Positive experience: It was nice and the mermaid was a nice touch, there just was much. One big tank. I was under the impression it was an Aquarium.
Positive experience: It was a nice little activity but it is not an aquarium. More like a huge tank with mermaids.
Negative experience: A horrible thing to do to a woman, putting a shark in the tank. The sensationalism greatly ruined her life,( if she's still alive) her looks, & crowded attendance. I will never go there again.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium is nice but this casino mostly caters to senior citizens that have big wallets and Asian tourists with fat pockets.
Fantastic experience: Always a family favorite and a great time whenever we visit. Also love eating at the johnny rockets here! Kids love the mermaid show.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean establishment. It's nice to gamble then go look at outdoor sports items.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium is pretty good size. A diver will go into the water and tell you all the types of fish and sting rays that are in there.
Fantastic experience: I love the variety of exotic fish they have in this aquarium. It's a beautiful sight.
Positive experience: Inside the Silverton Casino. Nice display. Family friendly ar the site. Swimming mermaids and quite colorful
Positive experience: The aquarium is free, part of the casino/hotel/restaurants. Food was very good. Companions loved the corn chowder.
Fantastic experience: My son, Russell absolutely loved his visit to the aquarium! Although we didn't see the mermaid, he still was so fascinated by the colorful fishes. They were so many different types of fish. I guess there was one fish that he was glued to as he kept staring at it. Definitely a great to check while you are at the Silverton!
Fantastic experience: Nice aquarium. Free. In a clean casino. We were nearby so swung over. Not sure i would have gone otherwise. We gambled a bit and shopped in Bass Pro shop which is attached to Silverton. Lots of free parking in garage.
Positive experience: Nice place to relax with a beverage. The bar right at Mermaids wasn't being staffed so we had to go fetch a drink from another bar and bring it over, so missing 1 star for no table service.
Negative experience: Smoky ass Vegas casino. They give you a free drink token at check in but the cocktail waitress is trying to serve 40 people single handed and hated bringing a free drink.
Fantastic experience: We like this place and enjoy our trips to Silverton casino and the bass pro shops.
Positive experience: Cute to take the kids to see some fish while you're shopping at Bass pro next door. The mermaid shows do not honor the times advertised online, so you can't rely on that. But it's cute
Fantastic experience: free mermaid show every half hour near entrance of casino. adjoining the Bass Pro Shop entrance. also do a stingray feeding. the mermaid draws hearts ❤️ with bubbles and interacts and waves with the children watching the show. definitely recommend for children if looking for activities in Las Vegas for children
Fantastic experience: Hypnotic to be able to stand so close to rays and other magnificent huge fish. They swim so peacefully yet some are more inquisitive and active, all fun to watch to your heart's content!
Fantastic experience: My family had fun specially my 2 kids. Is not that big but they sure have a lot sharks
Negative experience: Place is crap been throughout the country many casinos this is at the bottom for payouts.. all day there I never seen one big payout if I go to a casino in Oklahoma you see it quite often with that many people playing! This place is not paying out even the lowest percentage
Fantastic experience: This is a small aquarium that features sting rays, sharks, and yes. mermaids! It's free to watch. Great attraction that's fun for the whole family. Just an fyi, don't expect to always see a mermaid in the water because they do have different show times. There's also a Mermaid Cove Art Gallery by Cormier at the site. You can access it by walking around to the backside of the fish tank.
Fantastic experience: One of the "free things" for you and the kids in Vegas. Stocked with so many kings of sea creatures that you could watch all day. Plus, they have live mermaid shows!
Fantastic experience: Originally this place was called, "Boom Town". They had a dance floor with live music and it was a genuine Hoedown on the northside of the building where the Sundance Grill is now located. It's a Vegas classic, we'll worth the visit to another Vegas locals spot. Go during business hours to also enjoy Bass Pro Shop.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful aquarium with even better fishies anyone with kids would love this. No need to buy any tickets it's free!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a FREE activity to do with the whole family. Bring them by. I've heard of this Aquarium for a while now, but never thought of checking it out till recently. I was in awe to see so many vertebrate fishes and a few cartilaginous fishes. Be on the lookout for the mermaids and the Aquarist!!
Fantastic experience: Babies insist on this place each visit. The aquarium is humongous and the mermaids are very engaging. The first assortment is beautiful and mesmerizing. Definitely for all ages.
Fantastic experience: Loved taking the kids to see the mermaids. Pretty amazing if you ask me!! Silverton will also have holiday events here and there and that's amazing for the whole family as well. The mermaids are located by the bass pro shop.
Positive experience: The aquarium is open to all ages We usually take the kids when they come in town visiting. We usually see the mermaid. It's like a 360° cylinder shaped aquarium. A wide variety of fish.
Fantastic experience: Pretty neat experience, tank is amazing, if your visiting park as close to the PROBASS SHOP door as you can and the exhibition is right there
Fantastic experience: I went for the stingray feeding at 4:30 pm and it was so worth it. They were so cute, crowding and bonking the diver asking for more food. The pufferfish and others would try to steal scraps from the baskets and fight amongst themselves for food as well. It was a great time. It’s free because the “aquarium” is just 1 big tank at the entrance of the hotel.
Fantastic experience: This aquarium is huge and it is very impressive. Well worth stopping in to see it if you're in the area and if you're going to be at the Silverton casino where the Bass pro shops anyhow, then you definitely have to take time to go see the aquarium. I don't know if it still happens but they used to have women in the tank dressed up like mermaids which was quite entertaining for the kids. Whether they still do that or not, it's still a great aquarium to check out. This isn't like one of those giant aquarium of the Pacific ones where you're going to have multiple tanks and stuff. It's just one tank but still worth seeing. No admission charge or anything. Just walk into the lobby area in between the Silverton and the Bass pro shops and check it out.
Fantastic experience: We visited because my wife wanted to see the mermaids. Not only was it a fantastic experience, but they started earlier than expected and viewing the aquarium was free! I don't know why people are shying from aquarium, it's quite large and there are various tanks with fishes. The mermaids are skilled, fun and look great.
Fantastic experience: Just off the strip. Very quiet clean and very helpful and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: It's a great free place to take your kids or date to see a mermaid show and the bass shops is a really enjoyable store to go in it's right next the aquarium very house store Lots of stuff to look at and buy.
Positive experience: Neat free place to go. Just outdide Bass Pro Shops, which is another neat place to see. You don't have to spend money but you probably will!
Fantastic experience: The mermaid show is something of dreams! The children loved it. I believe it starts at noon. The interior of the building is awe-inspiring. Theres bathrooms and restaurants available
Fantastic experience: We had a great time. We went for the tree lighting and ended up having a great dinner at Twin Creeks. The aquarium is really nice. The mermaids make it more fun.
Fantastic experience: A great aquarium to see on your way out of or into Las Vegas by road. Easy to find, as soon as you walk through the door of the casino it's right in front of you. We were lucky enough to see the mini mermaid show too. I would thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium is amazing and the basspro shop is so nice... check out my reviews in depth on TicTok & IG @Celinakristinee
Fantastic experience: Totally exceeding our expectations. I'd rank it one of the top attractions and a must visit in LV area. The aquarium is as good as any, mermaid show is like nothing else. Support Silverton and hope to keep this business thriving.
Fantastic experience: We went there to see how my almost 3 year old granddaughter will react. She was amazed and didn't want to leave. An experience for a young girl that is priceless. Thank you silverton and bass pro shop
Positive experience: Nice place to go, the bass pro shop is also nice to shop in, in the aquarium u can see divers feed the fish, I warmly recommend this place. It's free
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed deeing the live mergirls swimming. Flipping and blowing water rings.
Fantastic experience: New in the area & came across this amazing gem while googling for an activity to do on a Saturday evening. So happy I found it. No reservation or fee required. Definitely a nice change from the strip. I thoroughly enjoyed myself because after viewing the show with mermaids & all the different fishes, I went next door to the Mermaid Lounge. My first visit but certainly not my last.
Fantastic experience: Just dropping this here because why not. Part of my visit while I was in Vegas~ BassPro shop and a casino all in one.
Fantastic experience: The Aquarium is inside of the Silverton Casino and Pro Bass sporting goods store. The mermaid was very interesting to watch as she was swimming amongst the sharks, and thousands of other fish. I really enjoyed the aquarium and I think it's worth coming to see it.
Fantastic experience: Very nice aquarium with lots of different fish and sometimes even mermaids!! Go and check it out also fun for the kids.
Fantastic experience: The the feeding show great to take pictures with all those different fish. Plus there's the mermaid bar right next to it. Have a beer or cocktail or a light meal and soda and enjoy the the tank
Positive experience: Great place to bring the family and be amazed at one of the largest aquariums in the desert of Las Vegas!! Scheduled "Mermaid shows" too and all for the price of $0.00!!! It's free! Oh yes, there are (my personal favorite) plenty of places to eat close by. JW
Positive experience: We miss the mermaid show. We drove all the way over but the hours were not accurate where we looked. Other than that we really enjoyed the fish tank Aryan my wife and I sat in front of it for over an hour
