Things to do in Las Vegas with Kids

While Sin City may conjure images of casinos, it’s also packed with family-friendly thrills, quirky shows, and fun pit stops along the Strip. This one-day Las Vegas family itinerary cuts through the glitz to serve up a jam-packed schedule with roller coasters, interactive spectacles, and Cirque du Soleil, so you and your crew can hit the highlights without burnout. Whether you’re travelling with toddlers or tweens, this plan helps you experience the best of Vegas for families without losing your sanity.

A short hop from the strip (grab a taxi or a rideshare, it's not walkable), you'll find the slightly mysterious AREA15 featuring plenty of experiences suitable for all ages including AR Dodgeball and a Laser Maze. There's enough here to easily fill an entire day but a special callout must go to the thoroughly immersive Omega Mart.

At 550 feet tall, the High Roller Observation Wheel at the LINQ Promenade is the second largest in the world. The 30-minute ride offers sweeping 360-degree views over the Strip, Paradise, and the Las Vegas Valley — a calm, air-conditioned break with unbeatable photo ops.
