Silverton is sometimes the forgotten locals casino, with so much attention on the Stations of the world. Super convenient from almost anywhere in the city, especially the southwest, this casino is a great place to have lunch, dinner, drinks or all of the above. The casino floor is clean, well laid out and I'm sure someone wins a jackpot, like, daily (that last one probably isn't true).
There are all different types of bars here, it's like the poor man's Cosmopolitan! The Mermaid Bar is probably the most recognized, they have a massive aquarium at the entrance complete with mermaids that swim in shifts. The only disappointing part about the mermaids is all the tubing they're connected to. Takes away from the allure...get some mini scuba packs! They'll pose for a pic with you if you stand near the tank which is cool. Also each restaurant has a nice bar out front where you can snack AND drink if you like, including Mi Casa (completely in love with that place) and Twin Creek. We spend NYE at Mermaid Bar, all you can drink for $10 at any bar! So keep an eye out for killer specials of that type.
There is a Bass Pro Shops attached. I've never been but have been told it's worth a look even if kayaking your way to a campsite isn't your thing (guilty). I really like the Silverton and think of it as a hidden gem off the 15.
