Family Overview: Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas...it's glitzy, it's gaudy, it's gauche—and it's not the easiest place to travel with kids in tow. Anyone under 18 years old isn't allowed in a casino and there's the dilemma about what message you may be giving your kids about gambling. That said, Las Vegas is a prime place for conventions and business meetings, so if you find yourself headed there on a company expense account, then Vegas suddenly becomes a good buy since it doesn't cost that much more to take the kids along. A few days here, amidst the neon and synthetic extravaganzas, balanced with some down-to-earth day trips, can offer a fun-filled adventure for families.Read More
