Las Vegas brings out the kid in adults; why not just bring the kids! Las Vegas is no longer just an adult playground. Pack up your kids for a fun trip the whole family will enjoy.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Select a hotel to stay at with lots of kid-friendly activities and restaurants at the resort and nearby. Excalibur, Circus Circus, Luxor and MGM Grand are top picks.

  2. Step 2

    Buy an all-day-pass to Adventuredome at Circus Circus. This indoor theme park has 16 attractions, including some of the top thrill rides in Las Vegas. Circus Circus also has free circus acts daily.

  3. Step 3

    Step back into ancient Egypt at the glass, pyramid-shaped Luxor where you will find several fun attractions, including In Search of the Obelisk motion simulator and an exact replica of King Tut's Tomb. The IMAX theater offers entertaining movie options.

  4. Step 4

    Ride down the Grand Canal in an authentic gondola at The Venetian. Both indoor and outdoor rides are available, each lasting more than 10 minutes. The Grand Canal Shoppes resemble a street straight out of Italy, complete with entertaining street performers and "living statues."

  5. Step 5

    Spend the early evening strolling along the Strip and stop to catch the free shows in front of many casinos. Witness the volcano eruption at The Mirage or the 12-minute pirate show in front of Treasure Island. Don't miss the spectacular water fountain shows in front of the Bellagio and Caesars Palace.

  6. Step 6

    Visit Excalibur Hotel which was built to resemble a castle, complete with drawbridge and moat. The Tournament of Kings Dinner Show is a musical production about King Arthur including jousting, dragons and wizards.

  7. Step 7

    Take your animal lover to the free attractions at various resorts including the White Tiger and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage, Lion Habitat at MGM, Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo and Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay.
