Mermaid
The Silverton Lodge's fantastic aquarium is a delight for all; the kids are especially impressed by their interaction with the beautiful mermaid!
Alexis
Surfacing from one of her feeding sessions at the aquarium at Silverton Lodge, Las Vegas, Alexis shows the exuberant time she has with her charges; she also loves interacting with the audience, especially the kids.
