How to Spend a Wonderful Weekend in Las Vegas with Your Kids

In This Article:

Las Vegas may not be the very first thing to come to your mind when you're thinking about family activities, but you'll see family fun simply abounds in the world entertainment capital! And when we say family, we mean the whole family, from the toddlers to the tweens and teenagers and their proud parents. Here is how to have an unforgettable, child-friendly holiday in just two days:

Indoor skydiving

If you have ever wondered what it feels like to jump out of a plane and fly in mid-air, here is a perfectly safe way to try skydiving. Your kids will absolutely love floating above the ground, and so will you! The only issue might be that this could give them some ideas to try the real thing soon enough. Or maybe you'll get tempted?

Red Rock Canyon

True, it is outside Las Vegas, but it would be a real pity not to see this wonder of nature. After all, it is only some 25 minutes' drive from the city, and you needn't spend a whole day on this. Indeed, you can have your cake, and eat it, too.

Cirque du Soleil shows

There isn't a person in the world who wouldn't be wowed by their performances, and this is definitely among the best things to do in Las Vegas. Cirque du Soleil will make you fall in love with the circus magic all over again. You would be amazed what incredible acts are performed (and at discount prices), so check out the list of their shows, and try to quickly decide on one. They are very much in high demand, so the tickets get sold quickly.

Dig This

Admittedly, this tour is only for those who are over 14 year old, and it involves digging holes in sand. With a real life-size bulldozer! If you love operating a powerful machine, then this tour is simply perfect for you. After some succinct instructions, you'll be given the equipment and have a go at the gigantic boulders all on your own!

Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat

It's not a family day out unless you visit a zoo, and the kids will simply love visiting the dolphin family. Also, you can take part in training the dolphins, too. White tigers and other big cats are also there to impress you.

Venetian’s gondolas

If you wish to relax a little, then sit back and enjoy your gondola ride along the Grand Canal. The kids will be interested in the bridges and buildings you are passing, and you will have some time to chill.

Hershey’s Chocolate World

For all those of you with a sweet tooth, this is the place to be! Not only are there tons of chocolate to see and taste, but you can play with the sweet stuff, too. After all, how can you resist not taking your children to a chocolate kingdom?

There you have it – plenty of original suggestions for your weekend itinerary! Choose your favorites, and you're bound to have a great family weekend.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
