Bass Pro Shops Las Vegas - Native Pond

This giant chain retail store attached to the Silverton Casino features 4 aquatic tanks: 3 for native or game fish, 1 for koi. One of the habitats also contains ducks and turtles as well as bluegill and sturgeon. I did not note all the species, but one of the habitats has a sign with 20 species.
Have you been to the ones in Springfield and Memphis? Both have alligators on exhibit, and the one in Springfield is building an aquarium that will exhibit species such as wels catfish.
 
No I haven't been to those, this was the first and only one I have been to so far even though they have many locations!
 
@geomorph Ah well if you are ever in Springfield or Memphis, they are both a short little trip and are fun to see. Both also double as hotels and restaurants so you can go without making purchases in the store part, and towards the end of the year the one in Springfield will have a full fledged aquarium (The one in Springfield already has multiple museums and halls of fame, being the first bass pro shops). The specifics of the aquarium are still hazy but they promised large saltwater and freshwater collections of fish, as well as native wildlife (Potentially bald eagle, I saw a picture they posted of one). One thing is guaranteed, it will be over the top since that's what all locations do best.
