what is there to do in vegas for a 15 year old?

Question

im going like the 2nd week of june and i need something i can do with my friends and with parents tagging along.

Answer 1

i am 16 and living in vegas. the first thing you should do is visit the Strip. that is where most of the hotels and casinos are. i recommend going at night so you can see the lights and the shows. there are many shows that are going on. for example a few weeks ago i saw the TI - treasure island show. it is free and live outside the hotel. it has real boats and its very cool! there are many other water shows. most casinos have arcades. i recommend going to circus circus because they have the adventure dome which as rides and the midway is where you play and win prizes. also you can shop around. there are plenty places to shop. you should go to the strosphere. its the tall casino. go to the very top. it has rides. and the view is amazing. there is so much to do. just email me for more information

Answer 2

i hear the arcades at excalibur and circus circus are the best ones on the strip. gameworks is also really fun for kids and adults. new york new york has espn zone, which is amazing if you're into sports. the stratosphere has a couple roller coasters that are pretty entertaining. ceasar's palace has a ridiculous amount of shops that can easily kill 2-3 hours. hope you have fun.

Answer 3

Go shopping. There's some nice malls in Ceasars Palace, Venetian, and Aladdin.

Sample every restaurant that appeals to you.

Chill by the pool at your hotel.

Get mani/pedi at the spa.

Answer 4

First of all there are a bunch of hotels that have essentially water parks for guests. The Mandalay Bay has the biggest and best wave pool sand beach pool out there, plus it has a lazy river for tubing. You kid will stay busy all day with that. The Monte Carlo hotel also has a wave pools and lazy rivers. The MGM Hotel has a huge lazy river and a water fall in a huge pool area. The Flamingo has a great pool with a water fall and a water slide, not big but very refreshing and I enjoy it all the time. In addition, there is a place called "Game Works" which is next door to the MGM, across from NY, NY that has all of the video type games any kid could want. (look for the Coke bottle). Many hotels also have big arcade areas.

At the other end of the strip is the Circus Circus hotel and casino and it has a huge arcade full of games, circus acts every half hour, and if that's not enough, an indoor amusement park with roller coaster rides and stuff. At the Sahara hotel there is a roller coaster ride, and also one at NY, NY. There are three rides atop the Stratosphere tower. There are movie theaters right on the strip, near the MGM and in the Palms Hotel across from the RIO hotel on Flamingo Avenue. There is also a bowling alley in the Gold Coast Hotel on Flamingo Ave next to the RIO(also a good place for a lower priced buffet) and another bowling alley in the Orleans.

In addition to that:


RED ROCK CANYON: Its about 20 miles west of Las Vegas out Charleston Blvd (you can pick up that street at the north end of the Strip) It’s a scenic drive-through park. Go early, not in the heat of the day; there's no shade. You can also rent a bike and ride through the park:

HOOVER DAM: Drive about 30 miles southeast of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park Service offers tours there (@ $15.) and its interesting stuff. Go on past Hoover dam to Boulder City and then to Lake Meade for a swim and/or to visit the new casino there. Also, there are tour companies that will take you on a cruise of the river below Hoover Dam. Check the Vegas web sites.

VALLEY OF FIRE STATE PARK: Drive about 35 miles north of Vegas on I-15 and go to Valley of Fire State Park, another scenic park area.

ZION NATION PARK: It’s a long drive (about 2-3 hours), but you can drive North on I-15 to Zion National Park and back in one day.

DEATH VALLEY: If you like to visit National Parks, drive about an hour and a half south of Vegas on I-15 and take RT-127 to Death Valley National Park (total drive may be 3 hrs each way).

GRAND CANYON: The drive to the Grand Canyon is 5 long hard hours on mostly two lane roads with trucks and campers (only a short way on I-40). You can drive there and back in one day if you leave early morning, like 6:00-7:00 AM. That will put you there about noon and you will have 4 or 5 hrs before starting back and getting back to Vegas about 11:00PM.

Now if that's not enough:


When you go to Las Vegas these usual things you will want to see for FREE:

1. Number one on my list is to watch the fountains displays in front of the Bellagio hotel. It usually runs every 15 minutes in summers starting at 3:00 PM; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different (there are more than 20 different tunes choreographed) so stay and watch at least 2 or 3. ALSO, go inside the Bellagio hotel to its lobby and view the beautiful glass sculptured ceiling AND the seasonal floral arrangements in the Atrium.

2. The “Sirens of TI” show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel; it runs every 90 minutes starting at about 4:30 PM. Simply stand on the sidewalk in front of the TI Hotel.

3. The volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel; starting at dark until midnight. Again, just stand on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.

4. Go down to Fremont Street and see the light shows. There are usually 3 or 4 different shows, starting after dark (about 8:30PM) and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.

5. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Masquerade in the Sky show. It is like Mardi Gras parade, only suspended from the ceiling over the gambling floor. It runs every 60 minutes starting about 3:00 PM; the last show starts at 9:30 PM..

6. Go to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat. This is better then the tiger habitat at the Mirage Hotel because there are usually trainers in with lions to keep them active.

7. Go to the Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that Siegfried and Roy show used. This is kinda passe because the tigers rarely do anything but sit and stare.

8. Go in Caesars Palace and walk through the Forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) then take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium. Then continue on through the shops to the second fountain and wait for the show to start.

9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see their animal habitat with flamingos and penguins.

10 The Excalibur hotel also has a free show starting at 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM.

If you are a Star Trek Fan, go to the Hilton (off the strip) for "Star Trek The Experience"; it cost about $35.
