We have a 13 year old and we are considering taking her to Las Vegas for Spring Break and I am wondering if someone that has taken their kids to Vegas if they would recommend it or not. I love Las Vegas and think there is so much kids could enjoy. I don't gamble and still LOVE going.
Hi K.! I was born and raised in Lv and had all 3 of my children there! We live in TX now, and I miss it terribly! I think it is a GREAT place to take kids, the only thing I might avoid is semi late walks on the strip do to smut pushers (yuk) other than that most all hotels have stuff for kids to see and do! And for her age I bet she would enjoy the Hard Rock (a little bit off the strip) but worth it! Have a great time! :)
I agree with everyone else. Last summer, we took a road trip and stayed in LV for several days with my 11 year old and his 10 year old cousin. They had a great time at the shows and other activities. We stayed at the Circus Circus so it was great to have a theme park right in the hotel.
My parents always took me to Vegas when I was young and that was befor they made it kid friendlier and I always loved it. At the Excaliber there is a show with knights and horses and in the Luxor there is a great ride and arcade. If you go to any shows, they can tell you if they are kid friendly. Go and have fun!
We took our kids and they loved it. We were on a road trip to the Grand Canyon and just decided to try Vegas since we were so close. The kids had more fun there than anywhere else. Now my kids are younger so I am not sure about a 13 year old. We stayed at the Excalibur which has carnival games in the lower levels. They loved the sharks at Mandalay Bay, tigers in MGM(also Rainforest Cafe), shopping and shows in Ceasar's, all the theme park rides in Circus Circus. All the free shows at night on the strip they loved. Also the roller coaster at New York New York. The Excalibur, Luxor, And Madalay Bay are all connected so you never even have to go outside. With the New York And MGM just a short walk away we could avoid some of the trouble that happens on the strip at night and still have fun. We only walked the strip at night once and did not run into much trouble though, just a few people handing out flyers with graphic photos, my kids are young enough that we can distract their attention from looking. Don't forget all the great shops like the M&M(my kids favorite) and Coca Cola. Out of that whole 3 week trip they loved Vegas the most and keep asking when we are going back.
