Recommendations for family activities in Las Vegas

Today, I have prepared a relaxing and enjoyable Vegas long weekend trip for all the moms and dads out there. It's designed to make both adults and kids happy, with activities that are both entertaining and educational. You can have a fun-filled trip with your whole family without breaking the bank and create wonderful travel memories! (P.S. This article focuses on families with children under the age of 21, so you won't find any gambling, bar, or nightclub itineraries here. The activities and dining options are also budget-friendly to lighten the burden on parents.)

Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours

This long weekend trip starts with a mining history tour! The Techatticup Mine is the oldest and richest gold mine in Southern Nevada, with mining activities starting from 1861 until 1942. Experience the mining glory of the past in this ancient town, and join a guided mining tour to explore the mine tunnels. Listen to the guides narrate the history and stories of the time, and even adults will be amazed by this hidden gem.

200 Convention Center Dr

This activity is a favorite among children. Once they put on the appropriate gear, they can fly and even perform aerial flips and spins under the guidance of professional instructors. Parents can fly with their children, providing a safe and unique flying experience that will leave a lasting impression on your little ones!

The Blue Man Group

No dialogue throughout the show, only percussion music, subtitles, laughter, and 3 blue men! The Blue Man Group can be said to be the most age-inclusive art performance. Through the blue men's percussion music and humorous body language, along with stunning audio-visual effects and interactive surprises, not only will children be happy, but adults will also find it highly entertaining.
After waking up naturally, go to The Buffet at Wynn, which has recently reopened! Hundreds of seafood and land dishes and super tempting desserts are waiting for you to taste (there's a huge chocolate fountain), both adults and children can find what they want to eat. With the colorful flowers and sunlight pouring in from the sky, it's super cozy and dreamy. Enjoy a rush-free brunch here at your leisure!

Mac King Comedy Magic Show

Who can resist a magic show? The hilarious and witty Mac King will definitely have your whole family exclaiming 'How is that possible?' while laughing out loud! This is also one of the most affordable shows in Vegas, making it a great value and highly entertaining for the whole family.

Sprinkles Cupcake

After watching the show, head to Sprinkles to buy a cupcake or an ice cream sandwich. Personally, I recommend the Lemon Meringue. The top layer of QQ marshmallow and the slightly sour lime filling are not overly sweet, and the ice cream is refreshing. Next to the store, there is a fun cupcake ATM where kids can have hands-on fun!

The Flamingo Pool

If the weather is not too cold, the Flamingo Hotel has a dedicated children's pool, so you don't have to worry about your little ones being pushed or entering deep water by other overly enthusiastic adults. The attached safe water slide will keep the kids entertained, and you can relax with a drink while watching over them. You can also take the opportunity to show the kids the hotel's wildlife area, which features not only the famous flamingos but also over a hundred species of birds, turtles, and fish, making it both educational and fun.
If your kids are older and the weather is hot, you can head to the Mandalay Bay hotel pool. Here, you can enjoy high artificial waves and a lazy river. Parents can also relax with a cocktail. After playing in the water, you can visit the Shark Reef Aquarium, walk through the underwater tunnel, and get a close-up view of over a hundred sharks swimming overhead.
Still have energy to burn, kids? Then come and stroll around here. The indoor shopping space with its strong Roman architectural style, fountains, and statues will keep the little ones entertained. Plus, there are all the major luxury brands that moms love, so everyone can find what they need.
Bringing kids to Vegas, you definitely can't miss the huge M&M, Coca-Cola stores, and Hershey’s Chocolate! The M&M store has a free 3D mini-theater and many M&M displays. The Coca-Cola store features a giant polar bear that comes out to greet guests, and kids can also taste different flavors of Coca-Cola! These three stores are very close to each other, making them perfect for a visit with kids to eat, shop, and take photos.

New York-New York Hotel

On the second floor of the New York-New York Hotel, there is an amusement park with a variety of arcade games that can help you burn off your children's endless energy. Not enough? There's also the Big Apple Coaster that will have the whole family screaming in excitement against the Vegas skyline.
