LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Mermaids at Silverton Casino are inviting children and adults to trade in their legs for a tail and fin to learn how to swim like the mythical sea creatures from under the sea.
Mermaid School returns to the resort's 15-foot deep aquarium, offering students an opportunity to learn about aquatic life while swimming with more than 2,000 sharks, sting rays, fish.
As part of the magical 90-minute experience, fans ages seven to adult are transformed into a famed Silverton mermaid and swim in the casino’s 117,000-gallon aquarium, along with thousands of tropical fish and rays.
Each session is said to include:
- A mermaid “warm up” class, a swim session in the aquarium with a mermaid tail, a behind-the-scenes tour of the aquarium and the sealife that lives within it, a certificate of completion, a celebratory scoop of Gelato for kids and a mimosa for adults.
