Answer 1

First you cannot be outside the hotel casino where you are staying after 9:00 p.m. without your parents.  That is an ordinance on the Strip.

What you can do is check www.lasvegasnow.com for links to do.  I don't have the open/close times but here is a list of fun things on Strip

Adventure Dome Amusement (indoor) Park at Circus Circus

Scream rollercoast at NYNY

NASCAR ride at Sahara

101 stories atop Stratosphere 3 rides

Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay

Secret Garden at Mirage (limited hours)

Fashion Show Mall

Canal Shops with free entertainment at Venetian PLUS indoor and outside gondola rides AND Madame Tossaud's Wax Museum (touch)

Forum Shops at Caesars Palace includes 2 free statute come alive shows and lots to eat and see (look at ceiling as it changes night to day to night)

Game Works next to MGM Grand (in basement of Coke Museum)

Movie Theatre next to MGM Grand

Enjoy the pool where you stay, too.  Buffets are great all you can eat places, too.

Answer 6

Here are some things to keep you busy:

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. ( http://www.bellagio.com/amenities/founta... )

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. http://www.treasureisland.com/pages/ent_...

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 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.

7. Go in the MGM Hotel/Casino and walk through the lion habitat.

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

http://www.startrekexp.com/

If you want to see a production show, I recommend the show at Bally's, "Jubilee" and the show at the MGM, "KA". I have seen the show at Bellagio, “O” also but I think KA is a better show. I have also seen the Folies Bergiere at the Tropicana but I think Jubilee is better. These will cost about $100 each; that's the going rate for production shows in Vegas now. I also suggest that you buy tickets online before you go, particularly if you want to see a Circ d Sol show. You can try for discounted show tickets at a booth in Fashion Show Mall and/or in the building with the coke bottle, look for Coke World and the M&M factory. They are same day tickets sold on a first come basis. I have never done this but see people doing it.

People go to Vegas to sightsee as well as gamble. You can see most of the stuff on the Strip by walking, so you don't need a rental car. There is a free monorail between Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. The one on the opposite side of the street which runs from the MGM to the Hilton you have to pay to ride. There is a free bus between Harrahs Hotel to the RIO Hotel that runs every half hour. There is also a free bus that you can get outside the Bills Gambling Hall Hotel (formerly Barbary Coast Casino) that will take you to the Orleans and some other off strip casinos.

There's shopping at Fashion show mall right next to Treasure Island Hotel (across from the Wynn Hotel), or you can drive or take a taxi or the bus south of the Strip (just past the airport) to the outlet mall.

There are movie theaters in the Palms (multiplex) which is just off the Strip on Flamingo Road (across from the Rio Hotel) and also another on the Strip across the street from the Monte Carlo hotel, near the MGM hotel.

If you like roller coasters, there are roller coaster rides at the NY, NY hotel/casino, at the Sahara Hotel/Casino, and, for those with a strong heart, three rides at the top of the Stratosphere Tower. The Circus Circus Hotel/casino has arcades and an indoor amusement park. There is a place called Game Works below the Coke World experience that has all type video games. In addition, many hotels have an arcade area.

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.

HOOVER DAM: Drive about 30 miles southeast of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park Service offers tours there (@ $12.) 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.

Answer 7

There is an arcade and a zoo inside of Mirage. Circus Circus has circus acts. There is a giant mall inside Caesars Palace. There is a sweet wax museum with figures of all your favorite celebrities next to the Venetian. There is a pirate show every night outside of Treasure Island. There is a nice water show where the water actually dances to music in front of the Bellagio. Last but not least, there are great places to eat all over the Vegas Strip.

Answer 12

Vegas is not set up for kids, and at 17 you are not a kid but more of a young adult...but still....21 or bust.  No Casinos, no bars, no to some shows.  Still, there is lots to do in Vegas.  I assume you are staying on the Strip so I will give you information about that.  Get a Monorail Pass.  It opens the entire strip up for transportation, which is a issue.  Then just research.  There are Roller Coasters at NY/NY, Sahara, and Stratosphere (the ones on this hotel are truely scarey).  Free you can tour the hotels, see the Bellagio Fountain Show, Pirate Show at Treasure Island, Lions at MGM, Tigers and Dolphins at Mirage.  You can get discount tickets at the ticket booth for alot of wonderful shows.  There are excursions that leave your hotel to the Canyon, Hoover Dam, desert horseback riding, helicopter neon light shows and more.  If you like Star Trek the Hilton on the north end of the strip has a full blown Star Trek Museum and rides as well at a restaurant designed like Quarks on DS-9.  There are wonderful things to just enjoy at Wynn, Bellagio, and Venetian/Palazzo resort including a gondola ride.....these are not cheap.  Of course, you gotta get a Nathan's Hotdog at NY/NY and play in Excaliburs game room.....also, the pools are wonderful and Luxor even has a replica of King Tut's tomb.  Finally, take your camera and go to Madamn Tussaud's Wax Museum near Venetian.  Have fun, and stay on the strip where it is safe.  Oh yes, there is a food court at Fashion Mall center strip that has cheap food and there are loads of tourist shops between Paris Paris and MGM.

Answer 13

My sisters are under 21 and when they come to visit me i take them to Freemont Street Expierience. There's an Outlet at Charleston and 15 freeway that they like. It has alot of good clothes stores. Circus circus is always a good bet also. It's not just for kids. It's like the magic mountain/knotts berry farms of las vegas. lol. They have rides all alot of other things going on. Even though you can't drink and gamble, you can still have fun on the strip. Just seeing all the lights, the free shows and shopping is fun. there's also red rock canyon and the hoover dam.

Answer 14

You can walk through the casinos. There is alot to see. Each one is unique.Some have mini strips like malls in them.  

Answer 15

You can just walk into the casinos and watch other people to gamble or you can just take the opportunity to tour the place because there're not many people can have the chance to go there
