Prepare to have one shell of a summer! A local Las Vegas hotel and casino is prepared to make the dreams of both children and adults come true with the announcement of Silverton Casino's Mermaid School.

That's right! Throughout the upcoming summer months, Silverton Casino will offer mermaid-lovers ages seven and up the opportunity to strap on a fin and take to the casino's 117,000-gallon aquarium for a 90 minute session.

Each of Silverton Casino's Mermaid School sessions will include the following:

  • 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)
  • And, of course, an experience of a lifetime.

All equipment, including goggles, is provided. Those who choose to participate will only need to bring a swimsuit and towel!

How To Secure Your Spot In Mermaid School
