Alissa Cardone
Caring for the ocean’s creatures in the desert In 2011, a Brooklyn, N.Y., native moved to the desert to take care of ocean animals. Doesn’t make too much sense, right? Well, if you’ve been to Golden Nugget downtown, you’ll discover it does. Alissa Cardone is the life sciences curator for the 75,000-gallon aquarium inside Chart House—one of the property’s restaurants—and the 200,000-gallon Shark Tank inside the famed pool complex. It’s Cardone’s responsibility to care for each and every creature. She’s had a lifelong passion for marine animals, even volunteering when she was a young teen at the New York Aquarium. She eventually worked there for six years as a wild animal keeper. She moved to Vegas to join the team at Golden Nugget, starting as a biologist, and now she runs the whole program and department. “Now, I am responsible for overseeing all of the care of all of the animals, the exhibits, staff and life support, which is the filtrations and plumbing and electrical work that help run these aquariums,” she says. Cardone’s job requires her to get into both the aquarium and the shark tank every day. “The reward is working with such a diverse collection of animals,” she says. “Interestingly enough, in our facility we have animals that easily have lived double their life that they would in the wild.

The Chocolate & Bourbon cocktail mixes together Four Roses small batch bourbon, Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, Tiramisu Italian liqueur and Fee Brothers Aztec chocolate bitters. Last week, Golden Nugget celebrated Shark Days, an annual event that celebrates and educates the public about sharks, both at the property and in the oceans. And if you want a close-up view of the shark tanks, just stop by the property’s pool. –KM
