The heated pool fully encircles “ The Tank” providing guests a truly hypnotic experience as you swim around it. Housing five species of shark along with over 300 exotic saltwater fish, the view is utterly jaw-dropping and helps prove that downtown can rival the opulence of anything found on Las Vegas Boulevard. The grandiose idea of building a 200,000 gallon shark aquarium as the unequivocal centerpiece of its main pool became a reality in 2007.

Speaking of the Golden Nugget, I challenge you to find a hotel pool in all of Las Vegas that’s more unique (and terrifying) than “ The Tank”. And thanks to numerous renovations to legendary stalwarts like Fremont Street and the Golden Nugget, it just might be worth your time as well. But what if I told you that this isn’t your grandfather’s downtown anymore? Or more precisely, what if I told you that it’s exactly like your grandfather’s downtown all over again, because for those of a certain generation, there was a time when downtown Las Vegas was the only place worth your time. Downtown is just an opening act who finished 5th on American Idol (the ABC version) that you buy drinks during. You go to be wooed by the glitz and glamor of that four mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard affectionally known as “ The Strip.” That’s the headliner. Like the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, it’s the sort of place that you smugly (and mistakenly) feel better than.

When it comes to Las Vegas, most people view downtown as the red-headed stepchild that nobody wants to spend time with, except out of pity or irony. See website below (under “resources”) for details and availability. Shank Tank Tours available on Wednesdays and Sundays at 1:30PM for $50/person.
