Look Right Here For Great Family Friendly Fun In Las Vegas

Dec. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Without a doubt Las Vegas offers a million things for adults to do. But beyond the lure of the blinking slots and scantily clad blackjack dealers, where does one take the family in this adult wonderland? This place is a bit of a chameleon, really, and sometimes it's not easy to tell whether Las Vegas is a good destination for families with children. Other times it seems Las Vegas is trying to shed it's naughty image and present itself as a more family oriented destination.

The truth is that no matter what this week's marketing for Las Vegas is, there are literally hundreds of stores, shops, and restaurants to cater to every whim. For families there are tours and adventures for every age and budget. Las Vegas is a place where everything is available 24 hours a day. Even for families out late at night, there are places where great fun can be had.

Las Vegas is western town with western and pioneer flavor. Las Vegas was a watering hole for many cowboys during wild west times. You can still find much of that flavor in nearby areas like Red Rock Canyon and the Bonnie Springs Pioneer Town. Families will enjoy the beautiful hiking opportunities and the cowboy activities available at Bonnie Springs.

Visitors who are willing to venture away from the Strip will discover a myriad of different and fun things to do. Just a few miles to the east there are some perfect family outings in Lake Mead and Hoover Dam, both of which are great for the whole family. Continuing down the road for a few miles you will find the new Grand Canyon overlook, built on the canyon's edge inside Native American lands.

For families with additional spare time will find that Las Vegas is a great starting point for adventuring to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and many more southwestern destinations. These great family trips can all be reached in only a few hours away by car. No matter which you choose, there is excellent highway access to all of them.  Even heading all the way into Arizona, with the opening of the Bounder Dam Bypass, it is is now easier from Las Vegas than ever. This is perfect for visitors who want to visit the Grand Canyon Overlook and those who are heading to other destinations like Flagstaff, Jerome, Sedona and Phoenix.

Even if you plan to stay around town, there are many family adventures to be had in Las Vegas. Not far from the Strip itself you will find the Springs Preserve, which is a refuge of old Las Vegas area before the city even existed. In the downtown area you will find that Fremont Street has many activities for the slightly older kids. While you are there, you may want to visit Las Vegas Gold and Silver, where the infamous Pawn Stars television series is taped.

These are just some of the great activities for Las Vegas family adventures.
