Las Vegas has a reputation, this isn’t something that can be ignored or forgotten, but it also isn’t the only side to the vibrant city.  Home to countless amusement parks, hotels, and performances, Vegas is one of the best places to go when your family needs to get away and cut loose.

Here are some reasons to consider it for your next vacation, not everything that happens there has to stay in Vegas!

Incredible Museums

Vegas may not seem like an intellectual city at first glance, but it’s steeped deeply with culture and creativity.  Housing a world-famous Madame Tussaud wax museum, it shows you can mix pop culture with creative ingenuity.  If celebrities aren’t your family’s favorite subject, Vegas also has a natural history museum with interactive exhibits that change regularly.

The Discovery Children’s Museum is home to thousands of exhibits geared towards young and brilliant minds to get them interested in science and our world.  It offers a lot for anyone but is more aimed towards kids.

Live Shows for Any Age

Live shows and performances are one thing that Vegas could do in its sleep.  Entertaining and thrilling, the strip hosts world-famous acts like Cirque Du Soleil, which has a rotating new performance every couple of years that will stun viewers.

There’s also the Tournament of Kings, which will feed their imagination and take your family back to medieval times.  

Vegas can outperform any city, from New York to Los Angeles, and will have you give up your quest to find Long Island houses for sale in favor of homes in Nevada instead.

Amusement Parks

A family vacation wouldn’t be complete without an amusement park or two.  Vegas packs them in thick, with water parks, Ferris wheels, and other attractions to thrill.  Your family will feel the same adrenaline and excitement a lot of people do in the casinos while having fun in an entirely different way.

The Adventuredome, one of many attractions, is an amusement park built in the 60s that’s now grown far out of proportion.  With many roller coasters and waterslides, it will get your adrenaline pumping and your heart beating like wild!

Fun Activities and Experiences

Outside of the classics, there are also things that you can only experience in Vegas.  Multiple zoos and animal habitats put on performances every day to help instruct and educate kids on wildlife from all over the world, while amazing and entertaining them.  Although this could be considered a live show, it’s something all its own that is more educational.

Learning has to be fun for kids to want to take part in it during a vacation, and a lot of these zoos pull out all of the stops to leave your family in awe.

What kid would complain about being bored while a twelve-foot python is staring them down while perching on their trainer’s shoulders?

Vegas is for all ages, all generations, and all backgrounds.  By looking around, you’ll see that a lot of the city’s for families and if you can always enjoy the other side of Vegas once the sun goes down.

The High Roller is the world’s tallest ferris wheel and one of the most fun experiences in the city.
