AquaMermaid Las Vegas

AquaMermaid is a mermaid entertainment company with performers in Las Vegas, and families here use it two ways: lessons in a tail, or a mermaid guest at a pool party.

Private mermaid swimming lessons are for ages 7 and up. A session costs $250 an hour with a mermaid instructor and covers up to 5 swimmers, so it makes sense as a small group outing with friends. The instructor comes to your pool, or you can use the partner pool, the Municipal Pool at 431 E Bonanza Rd, about 10 minutes from Fremont Street. Tails are $100 each to buy, or kids can bring their own. For children under 7, the company suggests booking a performer instead of a lesson.

Party bookings are also $250 an hour, in blocks of 1, 1.5 or 2 hours or longer. The mermaid swims, plays games, tells stories and poses for photos at a home pool or hotel. The company suggests 5 to 10 children per performer, so a bigger guest list may need two. Performers are not lifeguards, and an adult has to watch the kids in the water the whole time.

Book at least 4 weeks ahead. Cancelling 7 or more days out gets a full refund, a change inside 48 hours to 7 days costs $100, and less than 48 hours is non-refundable.
