text: Sometimes one gets lucky, and blunders onto a nice find.  After leaving the Las Vegas Foodie Fest and walking through the Silverton Casino to take in some welcome air conditioning until reaching the valet, I just happened by the Silverton Aquarium when fish were being fed by a woman in a dive suit.  The sea life in the aquarium is plentiful, including several colorful varieties of fish, along with rays and sharks.  The water is very clear, and it is easy to get up close and take in the unusual aqueous scene.\n\nWhile I was doing this, the black-suited diver swam away, and a shimmering mermaid, suddenly emerged to take her place.  She looked pretty realistic with a thick rainbow-hued tail.   \n\nThe Silverton Aquarium is a nice bonus attraction for those who play and stay at the Silverton!
