The kids can still have fun in Las Vegas and there is plenty that you as an adult can do with them. From museums to thrill rides Las Vegas is still a good choice for a family vacation.

Need a Deal to Vegas? Compare Prices on Las Vegas Hotels with Kayak.com, Expedia.com or Southwest Airlines. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.

The Lied Museum is great for kids who love interactive exhibits. The museum is perfect for anyone looking to give their kids an alternative to the arcades and motion machines at most casinos.

Are your kids engaged by magic acts? Have they seen a Las Vegas show? Lance Burton does a very good job of engaging children and his show is very kid friendly. They'll laugh just as hard as you do and you'll be comfortable with the clean humor and appropriate illusions.

Springs Preserve

My kids easily spend an hour at the play area and then another hour in the gardens, that does not include visits to the ORIGEN center or the various interactive exhibits. The preserve is 15 minutes from your strip hotel room and worth a visit.

Kids in Las Vegas

Some low cost alternatives for kids in Las Vegas. The entire family can have fun in Las Vegas without spending too much money.

Adventuredome at Circus Circus is a fun way to spend a day and it is relatively inexpensive as well. The large climate controlled park has rides for the young kids and the teenagers alike.

Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay Hotel

With 1.6 million gallons of seawater they have the space to hold a good deal of sharks. These won't be after your money either like those at the card tables.

Coney Island Emporium at New York/New York Resort and Casino

Ride the roller coaster, beat your kid at laser tag or challenge a friend to racing at Daytona. The Coney Island Emporium at New York/New York Resort and Casino is huge and it is a great way to spend an afternoon.
