for a goldfish, so caring for aquariums of these size certainly takes a team. The Golden Nugget has a full life sciences department that feeds the fish twice daily and maintains the aquariums. While I just sprinkled some fish food into my goldfish’s bowl, that’s not how they do it there. All biologists on the life sciences team are div- ing certified, so they actually work right inside of the aquariums to feed and maintain all of the species. If you’re walking by Chart House in the mornings, you may just catch the feeding in action.
Catch Sebastian and Ninth Island Connection at 7 p.m. Wednesdays on K5 and 2 p.m. Sundays on KGMB.

While on the topic of pools, the Golden Nug- get has one of the most unique pools in Vegas. With a 200,000-gallon aquarium known as the Tank, guests can swim in the presence of sharks, as well as enjoy the waterslide that goes right through the action. Now that’s a Vegas pool experience!
Note: The Golden Nugget aquariums are hu- mane conservation certified. Most of the sharks and fish species have been at the Golden Nugget since 2007. Some of them have even exceeded their life expectancy in the wild due to the high level of care they receive.
