Things to do with kids in 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.

Adventuredome
The glass-encased theme park of Adventuredome is the perfect attraction for thrill-seeking kids on holiday in Las Vegas. Its loop roller-coaster and other gut-wrenching rides are not to be missed. If this adrenalin rush is a bit too extreme, there are also shows by magicians and jugglers on offer, as well as plenty of treats such as ice-cream, popcorn, and candy. There are also rides and activities designed for younger kids who may not be old enough to ride the main attractions. The fact that the theme park is indoors is an extra bonus, protecting visitors from the sometimes inhospitable Nevada climate.

Grand Canyon Helicopter and Ranch Adventure
Kids will revel in the exciting experience of flying through the Grand Canyon in a helicopter and landing at the Grand Canyon Western Ranch. Once at the ranch, children will be thoroughly enthralled by horse-drawn wagon rides and the cowboys putting on a show. The western-style meal served at the ranch also goes down a treat. This family-friendly excursion across the border to Arizona is a great break from the casinos and resorts of Las Vegas itself, giving visitors the chance to experience some of the natural splendour of the region and partake in the pioneer and cowboy culture so well-loved in the US.
