Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Paradise

"As much as we love fish and rainforests, we need to move on - we have completely different free Las Vegas shows waiting for us at The Venetian Hotel, or, in particular, at the Grand Canal Shoppes. Here, we are going to watch a beautiful Italian themed production of Carnevale di Venezia, also known as Streetmosphere - incredibly beautiful free Las Vegas shows, where "Street" performers dressed in costumes of Italian Renaissance period, sing Italian songs and opera. They have a complex schedule, but performances start at 12:00 p.m."

"One look at the Venetian and you will not dispute why it cost 1.5 billion USD to build the hotel in 1999!. The most expensive resort and hotel of its time, it was inspired by the city of Venice, in Italy. This Las Vegas building includes all the famous landmarks of Venice, both within and outside the building, including the Palazzo Ducale, Piazza San Marco, Lion of Venice column, St. Mark’s Campanile, and even the Rialto Bridge."

"This 5-star eco-friendly The Palazzo at The Venetian® is on the Vegas Strip. The luxury hotel features a full-service spa and health club, pool deck overlooking the Strip, and a state-of-the-art casino. The Palazzo at The Venetian® offers spacious suites with a separate living area and a dining table."

"The airy central conservatory, which opens up right as you enter Bellagio, was inspired by the verdigris framework of Art Nouveau conservatories of Paris. Despite the fact that Las Vegas sits smack in the middle of the Mojave Desert, you can see the changing seasons in all their glory here as the garden transforms five times per year with fresh flowers; towering animatronic butterflies and birds; burbling fountains and bobbing lanterns. Each of its seasonal “theatrical presentations” of the elements is totally new."

"Not to be outdone by the Flamingo, the Bellagio Hotel and Casino boasts it’s own free to visit nature display known at the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, located just inside of the hotel. This sprawling garden is constantly changing up its flowery displays based on the season. During the holidays, you’ll see Christmas trees."

"Soon enough, Las Vegas will be home to an NFL team, something that’s brand new to the scene. And, definitely, something that families will be coming to from miles around to enjoy. Be a part of sports history by checking out the brand new Allegiant Stadium and watching the Raiders play in their new home."

"You can visit the zip line area, or watch the amazing light shows that happen every day. You can stroll through the outdoor museum called “Neon Museum” to see a wide range..."

"S. Sammy Davis Dr.Secret Creamery operates out of a trailer in a parking lot behind Reef Dispensaries in a part of town best described as the Strip’s backstage area. There’s just a small, small tent covering the window where you order and pay, so when it’s 1,000 degrees outside the process of acquiring the ice cream might feel a bit daunting, especially if there’s a wait. Stick it out, it’s worth it."

"If your children love to explore the outdoors and want to know what it might be like to walk through a rainforest, this free rainforest atrium at the Mirage Hotel might be just the (free) ticket!. The atrium features a 20,000 gallon saltwater aquarium with tons of aquatic wildlife, and just behind the aquarium is a tropical rainforest complete with lagoons, a waterfall, and tons of stunning tropical plants, flowers and more. Kids who love gardens and the outdoors will love to imagine they’re heading through a real jungle as you make your way through this free indoor rainforest garden."

"Run, don’t walk to the best excuse to head to Downtown Las Vegas for ice cream. This Hawaiian import inside the California serves tropical flavors such as Manila mango, Costa Rican plantain Cajeta, Mexican chocolate cinnamon swirl, and Philippine Macapuno peach sorbet. But do try something with macademia nuts."

"Another delicious addition to my list of best desserts in Las Vegas…. If you’re a fan of the humble churro, then you’re sure to love Chica’s Churro Fried Ice Cream Pops. For those who love frozen desserts in Las Vegas (and who doesn’t with all that heat?) this is one for you to try!"

"Located in Las Vegas, this Japanese-style dessert shop makes delicious Japanese pastries, cakes and other signature dishes such as strawberry shortcake, cream puffs, custard pudding, whole cakes and a host of speciality dishes. All the patisseries are made of seasonal ingredients and they ensure that all their food is made fresh and satiate your sweet tooth."

"A museum exhibiting the paranormal is about as Vegas as it gets. The stuff you’ll see here — which supposedly chronicles “scientifically proven” ways to communicate with the dead — is both somewhat scary and entirely weird. Check the VW van where Dr. Jack Kevorkian did his work ending the lives of patients with terminal diseases, and then meander past the wine cabinet from the movie The Possession over to the staircase from the former Demon House in Gary, Indiana, where a family was reportedly possessed by demons in 2011."

"If you’re ready for a good scare, explore The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, as seen on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures. See original collectibles from haunted sites and hear the bone-chilling stories of the paranormal activity that surrounds them. This the go-to destination for paranormal enthusiasts and ghost hunters wanting to see pieces from the “Demon House,” Dr. Kevorkian’s death van, and even the Dybbuk Box."

"Zak Bagans is famous for his work as a paranormal investigator and television host for the show, Ghost Adventures. He decided to take over the space in Las Vegas that many locals have said was haunted for years. Brave visitors will follow winding hallways through secret passages as they take in over 30 different rooms with different haunting displays."

"It's hard to say what's more impressive: the museum's physical location in a historic federal courthouse where mobsters sat for federal hearings in 1950–51, the fact that the board of directors is headed up by a former FBI special agent, or the thoughtfully curated exhibits telling the story of organized crime in America. In addition to hands-on FBI equipment and mob-related artifacts, the museum boasts a series of multimedia exhibits featuring interviews with real-life Tony Sopranos."

"The Luxor Although promoted as a casino attraction, "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" certainly qualifies as a museum with its deep collection of relics recovered from the doomed ocean liner. Some of the materials stored in leather luggage are in pristine condition, but what really sets this exhibit apart from similar collections is "the big piece" -- a chunk of the ship's wall that is the largest ever recovered. Along the way, you'll also experience recreations of the outdoor deck and the elegant staircase made famous in, you know, that movie."

"Your little history buffs are in for a treat when you visit the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel. This fully-immersive exhibit starts out by assigning you with the identity of one of the Titanic passengers. You can read about your person’s history and when they were sailing aboard this massive ship."

"It’s been years since I last visited the Titanic exhibit, but the haunting sights have stayed with me. The exhibit transports guests to a lost world of glamour and tragedy. The artifacts are incredible, and you’ll feel both awe and empathy as you learn about the doomed ship.” –C."
