Travel Essentials for Las Vegas with Kids

What to book before your family trip

🎰 Las Vegas Strip — Free Attractions

›

The Strip has surprisingly many free things: Bellagio fountains and conservatory, Mirage volcano, Venetian canals, and the LINQ promenade. The sidewalks are flat and wide. Air-conditioned casino lobbies are stroller-friendly shortcuts between attractions.

Free shows

🎡 High Roller — World's Tallest Observation Wheel

›

A 30-minute ride in a glass capsule 167m above the Strip. Kids love spotting their hotel from the top. Air-conditioned cabins fit strollers easily. Under-3s ride free. Book the daytime happy hour cabin for discounted adult tickets and soft drinks.

Under 3 freeFrom $25/adult (daytime)

💡 Tip: Vegas is surprisingly doable with kids if you skip the clubs. Stay at a resort with a lazy river pool (Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand). The Shark Reef aquarium, Discovery Children's Museum downtown, and Springs Preserve nature park are all family-focused. Use the free tram between Bellagio-Aria-Park MGM to avoid the heat with a stroller.
