Is the Silverton Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

The Silverton offers a refreshingly un-Strip-like getaway, tucked just west of Las Vegas Boulevard off the I-15 at Blue Diamond Road, about a 10-minute drive south of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. Its character comes from the details: a huge 117,000-gallon aquarium with free live 'mermaid' shows, and an adjoining Bass Pro Shops megastore that's a destination in its own right.

Rooms are comfortable, the casino is relaxed, and a complimentary airport shuttle helps if you arrive without a car (though one is handy for this location). Free self-parking and a fun, family-friendly vibe round out the appeal.

Know before you book: the resort fee is $35.99 plus tax (about $41 a night), though it covers Wi-Fi, fitness center access, the pool and even valet parking — and self-parking in the five-story garage is free too. The location is the trade-off: nothing beyond Bass Pro Shops is walkable, and the central Strip is a 10–15 minute drive up I-15, so plan on a car or rideshare. The free airport shuttle is for hotel guests only and requires an advance reservation — it won't pick you up without one.

Insider tipThe free airport shuttle isn't a walk-up service — it's reserved for hotel guests and needs an advance online reservation, so book your pickup before you fly in or you'll be paying for a rideshare from Harry Reid instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the resort fee at the Silverton?

It's $35.99 plus tax — about $41 a night. Unusually, it earns its keep here: the fee bundles in Wi-Fi, fitness center access, pool access and even valet parking, so the one 'extra' most Strip resorts charge separately for is already folded in.

Is parking free at the Silverton?

Yes — both self-parking in the five-story garage and valet are free for all guests. That's increasingly rare in Las Vegas, where most Strip resorts now charge for self-parking and valet alike, so it quietly offsets the resort fee.

How far is the Silverton from the Las Vegas Strip?

About five miles southwest of the central Strip, off I-15 at Blue Diamond Road — roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive. No Monorail or Deuce bus reaches this far southwest, so plan on a car or rideshare; nothing beyond the adjoining Bass Pro Shops is walkable.

When do the mermaids swim at the Silverton aquarium?

The free mermaid swims in the 117,000-gallon aquarium generally run Thursday through Sunday, roughly every half hour, alongside daily afternoon stingray feedings. Cooler months add more swim days, so confirm the day's schedule at the tank before you promise the kids a show.

Is the Silverton a good choice for families?

It leans family-friendly: the free aquarium mermaid shows, daily stingray feedings and the neighboring Bass Pro Shops keep kids busy, and rooms sleep up to four. Just note there's no on-site child care, and you must be 21 to reserve the room.
