Las Vegas with kids, realistically
Under-21s cannot linger on casino floors, so crossing a resort with children means following marked corridors and moving briskly. The Adventuredome at Circus Circus is indoor and air-conditioned, Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay is worth an hour, and the Discovery Children's Museum downtown suits under-tens. Distances deceive badly here: the walk between two adjacent Strip hotels can take twenty-five minutes through shopping arcades.
Las Vegas after dark
Nevada has no mandated last call, so bars simply never close and casino floors carry no clocks or windows. The nightclub economy runs on bottle service and door lists, with women frequently admitted free while men pay covers. Dayclubs such as Encore Beach Club start at noon. Downtown's Fremont Street Experience is louder and cheaper under its canopy screen, and the Arts District on Main Street is where residents drink.
What's actually worth your time in Las Vegas
Bellagio's fountains and its seasonal Conservatory cost nothing and remain the best free hours on the Strip. The Sphere's interior screen has no real equivalent anywhere, with tickets starting near $110. High Roller and the observation decks are photo stops carrying a markup. Red Rock Canyon's thirteen-mile scenic loop is twenty minutes west of the Strip and requires a timed entry reservation for most of the year.
Las Vegas's museums, and which one to pick
The Neon Museum's boneyard is the one to book, an open lot of salvaged casino signs behind the rescued La Concha lobby, $25 by day and $35 after dark when some signs are relit. The Mob Museum occupies the former federal courthouse where the 1950 Kefauver hearings actually sat. The National Atomic Testing Museum documents the Nevada Test Site sixty-five miles north, including footage of the above-ground shots.
What to eat in Las Vegas
The buffet era is largely over and the food story moved to Spring Mountain Road, the Chinatown corridor west of the Strip, where Lotus of Siam serves northern Thai and hundreds of Korean, Sichuan and Japanese rooms trade past midnight. On the Strip, the chef-name restaurants are real but priced to match. A Strip breakfast buffet now costs more than a full Chinatown dinner.
