How would you recommend i spend one day in Las Vegas?

Go and see the dolphins and white tigers at the Mirage. Your older kids may like the Star Trek Experienceand Quark's restaurant is reasonably priced and kid friendly(well for the older ones), 3 year old may not like the Borg and Klingon! you may like the fountains at the Bellagio, timings may have changed but during the daytime on the hour, evenings every half hour. The showbus of the Stars is from Planet Hollywood, you get a 'celeb' guide who sings, goes up and down the strip, that's quite fun and you'll see all the main strip hotels - may even catch the Treasure Island show,Gondoliers at the Venetian etc. if the traffic is slow. One tip the monorail may be cheap, but you won't really see much travelling on that and if you only have one day-probably not worth bothering with.

The drive may take 6-8 hours depening on your driving and what time you are doing the trip. Ask your family what their intrests are. If your 18 and 14 year olds have taken French in school try the Paris, if Italian, the Venetian. There are exhibits in a lot of the Vegas Strip Hotels, such as the "Body Human" as well as the "Titanic". I would check on "Google" to make sure that exhibit was still being shown in your time frame. Hoover Dam, The Red Rock Canyon, Upper Grand Canyon are just an hour out of town. Circus Circus, has rides and other attractions, as well as Excallibur. The New York, New York, has a great roller coaster, if you are into coasters, but there are other things like the M&M candy store, or the Harley - Davidson store that have unique things on display. There are the historical site like the "Old Morman Fort" and if you're military some of the planes on display at Nellis AFB, next to the "Red Flag" Complex. Ethel M Candy has a tour of their factory in Henderson, Nv. Lots to do, without hitting the tables and with your family. Las Vegas has worked hard to make themselves "Family Friendly." Hope that you enjoy and all the Best.

Adventuredome at Circus Circus

All-day passes to the Adventuredome are $24.95 for adults and $14.95 for children 33-47 inches tall.Don't let the pink exterior fool you, the Circus Circus Adventuredome is filled with action and thrills. Housed beneath a five-and-a-half-acre glass encasement, the Adventuredome promises fun for the whole family, young and old.

Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens

Located in Henderson, Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Gardens is quite the adventure. Only 15 minutes away from the Strip, it attracts more than 700,000 tourists a year. Guests get to see chocolates being made, sample gourmet treats and meander through the maze of paths at the Botanical Cactus Gardens at no charge.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition

The 25,000-square-foot exhibit features numerous items from the Titanic, including luggage, the ship's whistles, floor tiles from the first-class smoking room, a window frame from the Verandah Cafe and an unopened bottle of champagne with a 1900 vintage. In addition, the exhibit features a full-scale re-creation of the Grand Staircase as well as a newly expanded outer Promenade Deck, complete with the frigid temperatures felt on that fateful April night.

Have a lovely time in Las Vegas!

Day a million: do no longer do something different than consume. stroll the strip end to end throughout the day to take photos, study your way around, and notice what hobbies you. go on the Stratosphere and Eifel Tower to get a extra useful go searching. Repeat after darkish. Day 2. purchase tickets for all the shows you decide directly to observe on your trip. Watch a pair of a budget magic shows interior the afternoon, then a Circue Du Soleil coach like O after dinner. Day 3. Watch a pair of extra magic shows and yet another good Cirque Du Soleil coach like Mystere. Day 4. Watch some extra magic shows. Day 5. Make up day. visit the famous person Trek journey on the Hilton.

Not sure you can do all this in one day. Las Vegas is a 5 hour drive from Anaheim besides Vegas is beautiful at night. With that said,
