Las Vegas with Kids?

My family is planning a big family trip to Las Vegas and my two young nieces will be going. Any ideas for kid-friendly fun?

    You don't specify their ages....

    Circus Circus has the Adventure Dome (small theme park) which has rides kids will enjoy.

    The Stratosphere has rides atop the tower.

    Take them to the Mirage to see the Dolphin Habitat. They get to take a tour of the Habitat and see the dolphins, white tigers, etc. It's worth seeing.

    The Mandalay Bay has the Shark Reef which they would probably enjoy.

    Venetian has Madame Tussauds (sp?) wax museum. That is great for people of all ages! The wax figurines look so real and there are so many opportunities for great photographs there.

    Hope this helps!

    Source(s): Edit: I live in Las Vegas and work on the Las Vegas Strip. I assure you, kids are allowed in the casinos, they just aren't allowed on the casino floor (where the gambling takes place). Mandalay Bay does not have a water park, they do have a beach for those who stay at the Hotel; however, it is being renovated at the moment and you will not be able to use it for the time being.) Email me if you would like more info.

    Vegas used to be a good place for families. That lasted about 1 year. Truthfully, Vegas is not a good place for kids. There are a few things - Circus Circus has an amusement park and circus acts, and there is a Ocean Spray museum or something in Henderson, which is now part of Vegas for the most part. Be prepared for a lot of billboards that are very suggestive, everywhere from taxis to storefronts to signs. If you walk the strip, be prepared for the pornographic material that is handed out and scattered everywhere. There is a fun roller coaster at New York New York and an arcade too.

    None of the hotels really cater to families much anymore, but Excalibur is one that tends to be more family-friendly. It has a great dinner show for the family - Tournament of the Kings - and an arcade and other things to do. It's also not far from NYNY with the coaster and arcade or from Gameworks, which is just down from MGM. Off the strip you might consider the Orleans. They have bowling, movies, an arcade, and lots of activities that are good for kids and families. Orleans runs a shuttle to the strip. Both are clean, and decent places. They tend to have good rates too.

    Well I wont take any kids to Vegas but if you are 4 sure. There are some great stores like the M & M store on the blvd. Or go to MGM Hotel they have real live tigers there its like a mini indoor zoo. I was there and there where some kids there. Best bet would be the strip there are alot of things thet could see and do.

    Yes,

    But be sure to stay at Mandalay bay. It has a waterpark, aquarium and other stuff thats good for kids. If they are old enough rent them a couple movies so you can go out at night.
