So we might do a show, if any that you'd recommend would be suitable for a family, let me know. Failing that, we'll just enjoy the drive through the desert, look at the lights, the fountains and then get the hell out of there for the Grand Canyon. :lol:
I'm not sure if Vegas is for children as it's also known as Sin City. I know back in the 90's they tried to make it more family friendly but they did not succeed.
Sadly for Vegas there are a lot of people begging and people trying to give you cards offering ladies of the night plus the street hawkers trying to sell you stuff.
All that said we had an amazing time, we stayed at the Bellagio and went to see in our opinion the best cirque show which is called 'O'. We also had a room with a fountain view which was very impressive.
We loved the shows as we also went to see All shook up which had the best Elvis tribute that we have ever seen..... Young Gi Blues Elvis not fat Vegas Elvis.
In summary if you only have one night then the Bellagio and O you won't be disappointed.
Happy travels!

I'm not a huge fan of Vegas but we did take the kids there this summer (we did a road trip and Vegas was an overnight stop on the way to the Grand Canyon) and they enjoyed it. We didn't see any shows, just spent the evening wandering around and watching the Bellagio fountains and Mirage volcano. Your point about the "business" cards is spot on since people tend to just drop them on the ground, so by the end of the evening you're hard pressed to avoid the kids seeing them ;)

They were right there - all you had to do was bend over.

I am going to take that as a compliment, I am going to guess there are a few on here who have not seen there shoe laces in a long time.

Ladies of the night aren't best known for being fussy, but sure ;)

I wanted to go to one of the rabbit breeding places when we were there, but Mrs L refused to let me.
