Fodor's Expert Review Silverton Casino Hotel

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Don't overlook this Rocky Mountain lodge–theme hotel with popular attractions such as a huge Bass Pro Shops, a 117,000-gallon saltwater aquarium (complete with mermaid shows), and the Shady Grove Bar and Lounge, which has plasma-screen televisions and a mini–bowling alley inside a vintage-1950s Airstream trailer. The property's rooms are regularly refreshed and although standard rooms retain timber-beam ceilings, some luxury suites now feature a modern, masculine vibe. The hotel is a 10-minute drive south of the Strip right off Interstate 15, making it a great value and convenient option for travelers passing through.
