I giggle sometimes when I realize that my favorite place to take my family on vacation is known to many as “Sin City.” Seriously, there’s a lot to do and see in Las Vegas. When we need a break, I love to pack up the kids and take a trip to the desert. We do a few things on the strip, but we also take the time to enjoy the beautiful vistas in the surrounding Mojave Desert.
Maverick Helicopters
Mom, Dad and the kids will be speechless at their first aerial view of the Las Vegas strip. Maverick Helicopters offers a VIP-style tour that no visitor should skip. The pilot, after giving safety instructions and explaining the tour, will pose with your group for photos. In the air, each individual will be fitted with a headset. The tour is completely interactive as the pilot narrates the flight.
Bellagio Fountains
It never ceases to amaze me that Las Vegas has 8.5 acres of fountains right in the middle of the desert. These aren’t just any fountains either. Water shoots from 1,214 jets to heights of 460 feet in the air. Waterworks shows run regularly from 3:00 in the afternoon until midnight. This water can dance. Choreographies feature music ranging from the works of Michael Jackson to the crooning of Sinatra.
Pink Jeep Tours
Pink Jeep Tours are one of my favorite ways to enjoy the natural surroundings of Las Vegas. When you tire of shows and bright lights, take a day off to get in touch with nature. Pink Jeep Tours will pick you up at your hotel. Then you and the family can relax in style while learning about the amazing geology and biology of the area. Tours are even available to the Grand Canyon.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry
Dining options are everywhere in Vegas. A nice steak and a glass of red wine are my favorite Vegas cuisine. Be sure to explore the many dining options during your stay. SW Steakhouse features a water show visible from the dining area. Fiamma Trattoria features affordable but delicious pasta options.
Las Vegas truly has something for everyone to enjoy. The hotel options are seemingly endless and very unique. Gogobot makes it easy to read user reviews so you and your family will feel more comfortable with your purchase. Take a trip with your family here soon. I think you’ll have a wonderful time.
I got married there and would love to get back there one of these days. I never thought about taking the kids, but I might when they get a little older.
Sounds like there is so much to do there. It has been a long time since I was last in Vegas, but I keep hearing this. This makes me want to go back even more!
We’ve never been to the west coast. We have friends who love taking a trip to Vegas and always rave about how many things there are to do. I’ve seen some beautiful hotel pictures from Vegas with gorgeous pools.
Would love to visit Vegas at some point! We’ve never been, and I’ve honestly never thought to bring the family. Sounds like theres lots to do!
Vegas has really rolled out the red carpet to families over the years. It used to be a fun place for grown ups, but now your entire family can have fun.
I have done the pink jeep tour in Arizona and it was absolutely phenomenal. I would love to take a helicopter ride was probably one of the things on my bucket list to try.
I grew up in California, so Vegas was a normal vacation for me – but it’s changed so much and this list is awesome! I’ve never been on a Pink Tour, but that sounds like something I would really enjoy!
Who knew that Sin City had so many fun things for the whole family to enjoy! I’d love to take the whole family here for a little vacation! It sounds like a lot of fun!
My husband went to Las Vegas a while back and loved it. He has been trying to get us to go back as a family ever since.
I like these ideas. Vegas can be so much fun! I may have to try out one of those tours sometime!
We have gone to Vegas on three different family vacations with our young son and had a blast. People do not realize how much fun each hotel is to visit!
Sounds like Vegas is great for the whole family, I’ve heard it can be super fun there!
I have never been to Vegas, but know that families that go there on vacation. I hope to get there one day!
All of this sounds like fun, I don’t see the “sin” in this equation. Vegas is on my list of places to go, but I’ve not gotten there yet.
I can’t believe I have never been to Vegas. One of these days my husband and I have to go. It’s on my bucket-list.
We haven’t been to Vegas yet but it does sound like a lot of fun. Plus lots to do for the whole family! I
I plan on visiting Vegas with my girtfriends before the year is over. I want to experience the shows, the food and of course some gambling. I love your ideas. Will add to my list.
It sounds like so much fun activities to do there. It’s on my bucket-list and plan on visiting Vegas with family members!!
