If you love the outdoors, Bass Pro Shops Las Vegas is a destination in itself. Located next to the Silverton Casino, this 165,000 square foot mega store opened in 2004 and is the only Bass Pro in the city. Founded by Johnny Morris in 1972, Bass Pro Shops has become a go-to for hunting, fishing, camping, and all things wilderness. But this location feels more like a museum with a 40,000-gallon aquarium, indoor waterfall, wildlife displays, and even a shooting arcade. They also carry a massive selection of firearms outdoor weaponry, from handguns to high-powered rifles. And in true quirky Vegas fashion, you'll even find gallon jugs of bacon grease for sale, because why not?
