We are in Vegas this week, and haven't really found much in the way of things to do with Lily. What I mean is, places to eat that are kid friendly and not too expensive, interesting things to do, things like that.

So far, we have seen the Wildlife exhibit at our hotel (the Flamingo), which wasn't very impressive. It seems like getting around to everywhere requires escalators, and using the stroller prevents us from using those. So, those of you with more experience: What are the things that we should definitely do while we are here?

Thanks~

Are the White Tigers still on display at the Mirage? After Roy got mauled, I don't know if they closed that and the dolphin habitat. Worth looking into.

Also, check out the fountain show at the Bellagio. It's free and it's cool. As for kid friendly places, Circus Circus might be worth a try. I haven't been there in at least 10 years so I don't if it's a complete dive or if it's pretty cool.

What about the show outside Treasure Island? That would probably keep Matthew's attention for a little while.

There is also a huge aquarium at the Caesar's Forum shops. It is pretty cool to look at and it is pretty easy to get to. My dd liked looking around in the bellagio. The fountain show is neat for them. I also liked Rainforest cafe. There were lots of kids in there. The lion exhibit in the MGM is fun too.


HTH,

Well, so far we ate lunch at Margaritaville (Lily loved dancing to the music :lol: ), then walked through Caesar's Palace and the Bellagio. We showed Lily the aquarium, and saw an aquarium with some Seahorses in it (which I thought were cool, but Lily didn't seem too interested). We saw the fountain show at the Bellagio, but by that time, Lily had passed out in the stroller. We did get a picture, though, to prove she was there :)

We had thought about going to the Hoover dam, but I think we are going to pass on that this trip. I think we will head to the MGM Grand when she wakes up, and also go to the M&M factory. She loves M&M's, so I think she will probably enjoy that.

Keep the ideas coming!

You definitely need to go to Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef. We really enjoyed it when we went. :)
