Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in The Lakes

"As if a miniature version of Venice, including St. Mark’s Square and Venetian canals, weren’t enough, the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian decided to add street performers to ambient their setting. There are singers, living statues, gondoliers, and all sorts of costumed performers regularly wander the streets entertaining people. In addition, scheduled performances of singers, jugglers, and other entertainers take place several times a day in St. Mark’s Square."

"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."

"Open to the public, Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is a glorious free attraction beside the hotel’s lobby. Under an intricate Beaux-Arts-style glass canopy with a copper frame, this attraction employs the resort’s team of 120 horticulturalists and landscape designers, producing beautiful rotating displays with mesmerising floral arrangements, bridges, ponds and gazebos. Poinsettia and a giant Christmas tree set the tone in the holiday season."

"What used to be the whistle-whetting pit stop for cowboys passing through a tumbleweed town, Old Vegas still stands. Like the champ it is, it holds its reputation for being the best in the West for its undeniable good-time allure. Hosting guests in hotels of yesteryear and winding into current times with new and renovated restaurants and entertainment as well, Downtown Las Vegas remains the most eclectic and authentic part of the city to date."

"To the immediate south of The Strip, is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics in Las Vegas. The sculptures around the church are truly reflective of man’s ability with stone. Amidst the chaos of the Sin City, this beautiful church offers solitude and peace."

"GlowZone Las Vegas is one of the most exciting attractions for kids in Vegas. There are many attractions in this facility that is in the dark but lit up with glowing equipment from bumper cars and rock climbing to arcade games and mini golf. There’s even adult nights!"

"There’s bowling, bumper cars, arcade games and also Bazooka Ball which is like paintball without the pain of pellets. The Skyscraper challenge is great for older teens. The laser maze and ninja course are a fan favorite of those who grew up watching Ninja Warriors."

"S. DecaturRolled ice cream is a big thing here in Vegas and there are plenty of places where you can get it, but Frost N’ Roll is a few steps above most others. The ingredients they use are top of the line, including organic agave instead of sugar and fresh fruit that’s hand-picked daily. Their premium dairy ice creams are all-natural, preservative-free, made fresh to order, and customized for each customer."

"If you watch sports, the last thing you want to see is a huge tab at the end of a game. You can remedy that with the large portions at TAP Vegas and with the game day specials on beer and appetizers. If you aren't that hungry, split the Captan's Burger with a couple of people."

"It may not be something that springs to mind immediately, but the ARIA Resort Buffet has a number of sushi and sashimi options available daily. On the menu you’ll also find miso soup and seaweed salad. For the sushi lover that also likes a Mexican, Chinese, Pizza, and Mediterranean food, the ARIA Buffet is a great choice for options."

Here you can find foods from all over the world as the sections are split accordingly to different regions. So no matter where in the world you come from, you will always have something that is suited for you."

"Found in Luxor Hotel the Bodies Exhibition is a scientific look at the human body. This exhibition uses real human cadavers in the displays and is recommended for older children or teenagers but is one of the most comprehensive displays of how our bodies work currently available to the public.
