The main aquarium is a 117,000 gallon artificial reef which is home to over 4,000 tropical fish from all over the world, 3 species of stingrays and 3 species of sharks. The aquarium is a beautifully designed octagonal aquarium with viewing on all sides. The front viewing window is an impressive convex window that extends 25' X 12' and is one of the largest single piece of curved acrylic in the US.
This aquarium is home to two different underwater shows, the first being an interactive fish feeding show where one of our staff marine biologists dives in our aquarium with a full-face communication mask that allows him/her to interact with our guests while feeding our animals. There is also a question and answer portion where you can ask the diver any question you'd like.
In it's Mermaid Lounge, Silverton features two 500-gallon jellyfish aquariums that cycle to hypnotic LED lighting, displaying the jellies in seemingly endless colors. The lounge boasts a watery theme from its light blue decor down to its ameba lighting; never mind the 60" plasma TVs.
As you meander through the casino and make your way to Bass Pro Shop, you cross over a beautiful 18,000 gallon water feature simulating local rock formations at Red Rock Canyon. This water feature houses over 100 strikingly unique Koi.
In the Bass Pro Shop there are three freshwater aquariums. The first aquarium is a 4,000-gallon representation of a spring fed Nevada stream. A rock background and fallen log give the featured trout plenty of hiding spots and areas to spawn.
The second aquarium is a 20,000 gallon Nevada lake display. It houses enormous channel catfish, huge carp and bass that would make any fisherman jealous.
The final exhibit is a 28,000 gallon rapid flowing canyon display which houses seven species of ducks, channel catfish, bluegills, turtles and even a sturgeon.
