The best things to do in Las Vegas with kids

If you are looking to take the kids to Las Vegas then have a look at our huge list here.

Stratosphere Hotel and Casino

Families with thrill-seekers should look into making the Stratosphere Hotel their trip destination. The Stratosphere is a midpoint between the classic Downtown, aka “Old Vegas,” and the glitzy newer south end of the Strip. The hotel/casino is most famous for its attractions atop the structure.

Five Amusement rides sit at the top of the space needle, over 1000 feet above the ground, including one coaster called X-treme, which dangles riders over the edge of the tower at a 30-degree angle. The thrill is an understatement. A fine dining experience with a panoramic view is also offered atop the Stratosphere at the Top of The World restaurant.

GAMEWORKS, the Ultimate Virtual Reality Experience

For those who would rather seek their thrills virtually, there is GAMEWORKS, a gaming facility born from the union of Sega Enterprises and Universal Studios. On the south end of the Strip, it is located next to the MGM hotel and across from the Monte Carlo Resort. GAMEWORKS offers everything from bowling to auto racing in the world of virtual reality.

Circus Circus – Adventure Dome

Picture an amusement park minus the long lines, encapsulated in an air-conditioned dome- this is Adventure Dome. Located in Circus Circus hotel and casino, this is an ideal destination for families with younger children. While it may be a fraction of the size of Great Adventure. There is a variety of attractions, inclusive of toddler coasters, thrill rides, miniature golf, snows cones, and much more. This is the perfect escape from the Las Vegas desert heat.

Summertime Travel to Las Vegas

The summertime is the best time to get package deals at sites like travelocity.com and priceline.com. Shop around to find the best family deals. Many packages will include flight, hotel, and rental car if requested.

Don’t be put off by the weather reports of heat indexes over 100 degrees. Remember, most of the activities will be indoors, and walking the Strip at night to see the lights and water shows are popular tourist attractions. In the current economic climate, this is the perfect family vacation that combines saving money and having tons of fun!
