my family is coming out next week what are some fun things to do? i thought mt charleston and maybe the light thing at freemont st? any ideas (children 8m to 8yrs)
Red Rock would be a great place to go, also there is Bonnie Springs out by Red rock...They have animals, cowboy show...My kids love it..
There's Circus-Circus they also have the Adventure Dome. The NY-NY has an arcade - there's M&M World. And away from the strip there the Mini Grand Prix.
Leid Childrens Discovery Museum is a great place for all ages, even little ones and it is right by Fremont Street. Also the Secret Garden at the Mirage is great.
when i have family come in, we go to the strip and watch the shows in front of the hotels, like treasure island and the bellagio has the water show (which is better to see at night),etc. we also go to mgm and see the lion habitat,mirage and see the white tigers, the m and m candy place.there is a little zoo on rancho that is alright, definitely not the best ,but good for the young kids.
Hi -
Red Rock Canyon is better for hiking than Mt. Charleston and a shorter drive from the city. Also I recommend the following:
1) Top of the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino for the view.
2) Circus Circus Hotel & Casino which has a whole amusement park for families.
3) There is a great aquarium with an underwater section at Mandalay Bay Hotel called "Shark Reef" - very nice.
4) Scandia Miniature Golf
5) Lied Discovery Children's Museum
Hope that helps, have a fun trip!

We just moved here and have done quite a few fun things, such as the Lied Children's Museum, which has hands on exhibits...my 2 year old daughter enjoyed it as well as my 44 years old husband. LOL

Also, google search for things to do with kids in Las Vegas.
The MGM Grand Hotel's Lion Habitat is interesting and free..open 11am to 10pm. Go at 11am when the lions are still up..they sleep a lot. They also have photos with the baby cubs for a fee (about $25.00).

There is a Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay that is really interesting. There was a Titanic exhibition at one of the casinos, but I am not sure where or if it is still around. Mt. Charleston is great for the older kids. The Fremont light show is neat but it shows on the hour for about 6 minutes. There is a zoo also.
Have fun!
we go to red rock alot. it fun and cheap. pack a lunch have fun..
