Las Vegas

Las Vegas may seem brash and sleazy at first, but this fun and fantasy-filled city is described as the world's largest theme park and massively appeals to kids. The city has been making an effort to attract families and it certainly has much to lure them with.

Set in the middle of the vast Mojave Desert, this vibrant holiday destination offers everything from wildlife viewing to theme parks and shopping malls. Naturally, there are many places in Vegas that are not suitable for children but there are family-friendly resorts springing up in and around the city.

Kids on holiday in Las Vegas will immediately be impressed by the recreated New York and Paris skylines, seen from the Strip, and revel in the adventurous notion of exploring the canals of Venice or the Egyptian pyramids.

In an attempt to lure gamblers to the casinos to squander all their cash, Las Vegas accommodation and restaurants are surprisingly affordable. The pursuit of pleasure by both parents and children alike is possible all year round; the summers in Las Vegas are extremely hot, but everything is air-conditioned.
