Top Vegas Shows

An hour away from the Las Vegas strip the El Dorado Canyon Gold Mine is in a time warp. Step back into a time when the old west was all about gaining the riches and having them stolen from you. The tour is informative and appropriate for the entire family. The drive to the tiny town of Nelson is quick and informative and you get a view of the Southern Nevada desert from the air conditioned comfort of the Pink Jeep Tour vehicles.

The best way to see the area is with a guided tour as the local knowledge gives you so much more than driving there yourself. Pink Jeep Tours offers excursions to the El Dorado Canyon and you learn so much about the gold mine but far more about Las Vegas history, the fauna of the southwest and the culture of this very interesting area.

Pink Jeep Tours also has tours to the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Red Rock and plenty of other fascinating natural wonders near the Las Vegas strip. See a list of other tours by Pink Jeep Tours in Las Vegas.

Start planning your trip to Las Vegas by researching prices with Expedia.com and Southwest Airlines Vacations. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.

Las Vegas is one of those places where you might feel a little guilty for bringing the kids along , but at some point in your life you realize that if you want a vacation the kids have to be included as well. There are some options for Kids in Las Vegas so pack up and get ready to go. With plenty of attractions, pools and arcades it is possible to have a family vacation in a city that is designed for the hedonistic behaviors of adults. All it takes is a little planning and a sense of what you want from your Las Vegas vacation with kids.

Here are some resources to help you get started:

• Family Friendly Hotels
• Family Friendly Restaurants
• Family Attractions in Las Vegas
• Family Fun in Las Vegas
• Travel Tips from About.com’s Traveling with Kids expert, Teresa Plowright

Las Vegas can be appropriate with children as long as you realize that it’s really not a good idea to go cruising the Las Vegas strip with your kid in a stroller. I see people do it all the time and I can’t believe that some parents do it. Spend some time at the family attractions and leave the late night walks to the people who are not towing children along and can afford to stumble along down the sidewalk.
