When planning a Las Vegas family vacation, travelers will
be delighted to find that there are a number of great
Las Vegas attractions that offer fun for the entire family.
Las Vegas family vacations can include everything from
shopping and dining out, to
a number of attractions designed specifically with children
and families in mind.
Details of the some of the most popular Las Vegas family vacation attractions:
The Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino features an excellent Shark Reef. As the only Las Vegas family vacation attraction with sharks and other oceanic wildlife, this is a favorite among children and adults. Exotic fish, sea turtles, various oceanic life, and of course sharks can all be viewed at the Shark Reef. The Shark Reef is open daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Excalibur's “Tournament of Kings” is another popular attraction for Las Vegas family vacations. Dinner is served between 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday through Sunday throughout the year. Families will watch a medieval jousting match before feasting with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Games and swordplay follow the meal.
Lance Burton's magic show at the Monte Carlo is a long-running show that has been making Las Vegas family vacations special for over ten years. As one of the most talented magicians anywhere, Lance Burton dazzles audiences night after night. Show times are at 7 and 10 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.
The Mirage in Las Vegas has a special program for children interested in aquatic life and, in particular, dolphins. The “trainer for a day” program takes travelers through a day in the life of a dolphin trainer, and guests will even have the chance to swim with the dolphins. This is one of the most fun things to do in Las Vegas with kids who love animals.
Another roller coaster and popular activity in Las Vegas with kids is Merlin's Magic Motion Machines at the Excalibur. Open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight, multiple themed rides are a favorite among families.
A family vacation Las Vegas offers is quickly becoming a popular choice for families throughout the world. While some hotels have special rules regarding children under the age of 16, rules vary from hotel to hotel and most are kid-friendly. The Las Vegas of today is a Las Vegas for kids, and a family vacation Las Vegas offers can include an array of activities and attractions.
Many Las Vegas hotels
offer childcare throughout the day and at night by pre-arrangement.
If this is a priority for your vacation, be sure to check
ahead when booking a hotel. Renting a condo or vacation
home can also be a convenient way to combine the comfort
of home with the fun of a family vacation Las Vegas-style.
Sin City is becoming a welcoming place for families and
a safe, fun place to visit.
