Las Vegas has a reputation for being one big adult playground, and it is a great place for adults to escape. However, despite it not being the first place we think of for a family vacation, this city has tons of kid-friendly attractions, restaurants, and hotels. If you are looking for a unique weekend getaway full of family adventures that both you and the kids will love, we have some great ideas to get you started and the perfect home base at one of the best family-friendly hotels in Las Vegas (which has such an epic pool area that it has been rated as one of the best hotels and resorts in Nevada!)
A fun-filled day should start with a great breakfast! Adults and children alike will have a blast ordering breakfast at Stacks and Yolks, especially if you love pancakes!
Choose from 14 different batter flavors like orange-cranberry, red velvet, mint, lemon blueberry, peanut butter, etc., then pick your toppings! If you can’t decide, choose one of the Signature Stacks.
The SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium is definitely not your ordinary aquarium. It is a hands-on experience where visitors can get close to, touch, and feed a variety of both water and land critters from ecosystems around the world.
Get everyone in the driver’s seat at Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix Family Fun Center with Euro High-Speed Karts for the grown-ups, 2-seaters for parents and kids, Sprint Karts for older kids and adults, and even Kiddie Karts. There are also carnival-style rides, slides, coasters, and games everyone can enjoy.
For even more thrills, head to Adventuredome, the 5-acre indoor amusement park at Circus Circus. Get your heart pumping on the world’s largest indoor “double-loop, double corkscrew” coaster and several other wild rides, feel your heart drop on the old-fashioned swinging pirate ship, enjoy 4D film experiences, play a round of mini-golf or laser tag, play carnival games, and more.
After a long day of adventuring - or for a calm break between adventures - grab a meal at Honey Salt, a local restaurant with a classy laid-back vibe and something on the menu for everyone.
Parents will love the fine-dining-style appetizers and entrees, like Blue Crab Fondue and Roast Port Tenderloin, as well as a fantastic cocktail menu, featuring delicious signature drinks like The Honey Salt Mojito, Angry Cucumber Margarita, and Island Blue Martini. The menu for the littles is full of kid favorites like Mac and Cheese, Pizza, Pasta and Meatballs, and the Kind-Of-A-Big-Deal Cheeseburger. Kids even have their own dessert menu!
Where you stay should be every bit as exciting as the activities you plan. Enter the fantastically family-friendly MGM Grand. With a fun, trendy atmosphere and plenty of high-class amenities, this is far more than just a place to sleep for the night.
Truth be told, you could spend an activity-filled weekend that every member of the family would love and never leave the phenomenal 6.5-acre MGM Grand pool complex. There are four gorgeous swimming pools, three whirlpools to soak your troubles away, beautiful cascading waterfalls, and my favorite water feature, the epic lazy river.
Want to take your pool experience to the next level? Stake out a daybed, order food and drinks or schedule a poolside massage.
This spectacular hotel offers tons of incredible dining and entertainment options, too. Whether you want to catch a show, watch a sports event, play games, or practice your swing at Top Golf, there is plenty to do (and eat!) for everyone.
