One thing is for sure, once you arrive in Las Vegas you are going to be deluged with advertisements for shows and activities. You are likely to become overwhelmed with the choices and you might become a little bit clouded and confused about what to see and do while you're in Las Vegas. This is especially true when it comes to your family, as many of the choices are not suitable for young kids, and this is a fact that is not always advertised. The best plan then, is to have your list of where-to-go's and what-to-do's in hand when you arrive, and, bring along a sense of flexibility should you and the family be overtaken by the desire to do something not on the list.

Kids On The Strip
Las Vegas has one thing unlike any other city, and that is the number of potential activities packed into such a compact space. The world famous Strip that everyone is so familar with, for example, is really only a few miles long. Most of the major casinos are packed into about a 3 mile stretch of Las Vegas Blvd between Hacienda and Sahara.

Within this stretch of glittering lights, volcanoes and dancing fountains, parents are likely to find a number of potential destinations for the family. Most of the largest casinos offer some kind of attraction of another for the kids. Some, like the MGM, and a good place to take everyone because they offer a selection of activities for everyone.

A Good Place for Families?

When you think of Las Vegas, what's the first thing to comes to mind? Slot machines? That famous sign? Showgirls and free drinks? None of those things has anything to do with kids. It van be hard for parents to make adult time in a place like Las Vegas when the family can't all enjoy those activities together. Yet with some planning and consideration for your next vacation, it is possible to bring the family here and for everyone to have an equally good time. The adults, obviously, will have plenty of time to gamble and do adult things while the kids are enjoying themselves and having their own Las Vegas adventure.

Several years ago, our family decided to spend a week in Las Vegas. Having been here myself nearly a hundred times or more for business or pleasure, it was difficult for me to imagine how we would all fair in a casino hotel for a week. Sure, there was plenty to do. But all the smoking and drinking had the wife and I concerned, plus, how, exactly do you explain gambling and the scantily clad "free drink" girls all over the casino?
