Mermaids at the Silverton....

The Silverton Casino has a huge aquarium- maybe around 25 feet deep. Every few hours- "real" mermaids swim in the tank. They are actually synchronized swimmers. There are little oxygen hoses all over the floor, so they can catch a breath periodically. Sometimes they would perform with the oxygen hoses, and sometimes not. There was also a "lifeguard"... a guy in a wet suite with an oxygen tank.. just in case. You watch the mermaid (s) from under the surface of the water... and they interact with the kids... blowing kisses and bubbles at them:) Jasmine loved it. We ate dinner there... at the Johnny Rocket Diner. Not too healthy at 9 pm at night. Greasy hamburgers and fries, then it took quite awhile to get back to our hotel at the other end of the strip. It was kind of fun though, driving late at night with all the lights and sounds on the Strip. I left the window open so Jasmine could see all the lights and hear all the sounds. Got back to our hotel around 10 pm, had to read a book of course, then slept in:)
