The Fremont Experience

Family Activities in Las Vegas

Sure, Vegas has casinos and showgirls, but it also has a number of unique and fun attractions for families to enjoy together. Some highlights are:

• The Fremont Experience – This multi-media presentation (pictured above) is a $70 laser light canopy that covers the pedestrian zone on Fremont Street. Every evening, on the hour, from dusk until midnight, the canopy comes alive with synchronized lights and music – all overhead. It's a favorite of visitors of all ages.
• Free Entertainment in Las Vegas – Las Vegas has a variety of free family-friendly entertainment options. From the spectacular Bellagio fountain to touring the Ethel M. Chocolate candy factory, just outside of town, Las Vegas will keep your family amused without unloading your wallet.
• Lied Children's Discovery Museum – This interactive museums features two floors and 25,000 sq. feet of activities, displays, and hands-on activities, with exhibits including "Desert Discovery," "Boulder mountain," and "Desert in the Dark".
• The Coasters – Vegas has some of the world's most unique roller coasters. There's one atop the Stratosphere Resort and Casino, where intrepid riders are treated to a spectacular view of the Strip. There's also one that wraps around the New York New York Casino and Resort and gives riders a view of the scaled down sights of the "Big Apple" as well as the pedestrian traffic on the south end of the Strip.
• Hoover Dam – Just 30 minutes from Las Vegas, Hoover Dam is one of the largest and most widely-recognized manmade wonders in the world. Visitors can tour the inner workings of the dam, see a film about how the dam was constructed, and enjoy the beautiful Nevada scenery that surrounds the dam.

Finding Discount Las Vegas Family Travel Packages

Finding discount Las Vegas family travel packages is easy if you know where to look. Consider the following:

• Go Direct – Many Las Vegas hotels offer specials for off-peak times, such as mid-week, the summer months, and early December. Circus Circus, in particular, offers attractive specials for those who book directly with them. Combine these with a charter flight for maximum savings – or drive to Las Vegas.
• Book the Package – Another strategy for saving money on a Las Vegas vacation is to book a package that includes airfare, hotel accommodations, and usually one other feature, such as transfers from the airport or a sightseeing tour. Packages are generally less expensive than buying each component on your own. Since the tour operator books so many travelers each year, they generally get a better rate on airfare and hotels than a family can on their own.
• Travel Off-Season – Most of the time traveling with a family off-season means taking the kids out of school. Not so with Las Vegas. Here, the off-season is in the summer, when kids are on summer break.
• Charters are your Friends – Charter flights and packages can be a great way to save money on your Las Vegas family vacation. These flights, offered by tour operators such as Funjet, are designed just for Las Vegas vacationers and usually fly non-stop. Some are offered year round; others are seasonal. Passengers generally have the option of buying hotel accommodations at an attractive rate along with the flights.

Planning your Las Vegas Family Vacation

General travel planning strategies apply when booking discount Las Vegas family travel packages. It's wise to plan well in advance of your departure, since many popular dates and hotels often won't be available if you wait until the last minute. Although Las Vegas has thousands and thousands of hotel rooms, the city is a popular convention destination.

Enlisting the aid of a travel agent who is well-versed in Las Vegas Travel is another smart idea. Because she works with travel on a daily basis, she can alert you to specials as soon as they become available.
