Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Kid-Friendly Spots in Las Vegas

March 5, 2018 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life || 30 Kid friendly places in Las Vegas

Whenever I tell people that I live in Las Vegas, they are always surprised.  A lot of people have a preconceived assumption that Las Vegas is Sin City and it’s no place for a family.  That’s not true at all.  I had about 5 months of life in Las Vegas before I found out that I was pregnant with Jack.  Ask me what the best night clubs and shows are in Vegas and I have no clue.  Ask me what to do with kids in Las Vegas, I could go on and on.  Whether you’re a tourist or a local, there is a place for everyone in Las Vegas.

  I have quite a list of places to visit.  I’ve listed my favorites below.  I’ve been to almost everyone, except for a few, but I’m sure I’ll visit them all soon.  My husband suggested that I list them in order, but that’s just too hard to do.  I did go through and rate my top 10 favorite places first, then the rest are in random order. 

1.) Container Park
Container Park is by far my family’s favorite place to go.  It’s a short walk down the street from the Freemont Experience (not always the greatest place for kids).  We love that there is something for everyone here.  Jack loves the slides and large blocks for building and Kevin and I love that we can get a beer and some yummy food.  There is shopping, food, drinks, concerts, and even a Dome theater.

2.) The Linq
The Linq is a great little spot that is perfect for families.  It’s full of fun gift shops, restaurants and what kid wouldn’t love a cupcake ATM at Sprinkles Cupcakes?

3.) The Bellogio Fountain

Kids or no kids, you have to see a fountain show if you’re in Vegas.  Jack goes crazy watching the water spray up.  I love the beautiful view and atmosphere.  It’s a great place to take pictures!  I can never put my phone down every time we visit.

4.) Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
We love the gardens at the Bellagio too!  It’s a beautiful garden that is always dressed up for the season.  It’s a great place to go year round.

5.) Eiffel Tower Experience*
Can’t afford to take the whole family to Paris?  Well, Las Vegas has you covered.  The Eiffel Tower Experience is a great view for the whole family.  We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower last summer, but what I really love to do is just walk around the hotel and check out the little shops and cafes.

6.) The High Roller*
If the Eiffel Tower isn’t a good enough view, try the high roller.  It’s a fun way to view the entire valley in one of the world’s largest ferries wheels.

7.) The Park
We love the Park.  There are plenty of restaurants that are family-friendly.  It’s right outside T-Mobile Arena if you want to catch a Golden Knights hockey game.  Plus you are only a quick walk away from New York, New York with a roller coaster and Hersey’s World.

8.) Town Square

Town Square is what my husband and I call a fake downtown.  It has all the charm of a classic downtown, but it was all constructed in the 2000s.  Town Square is a great place for shopping, food and in the middle of it all there is a park with food stands that you would find at a local carnival, a splash pad, playground and lots of fake green grass for your little ones to run on.

9.) Mount Charleston
At 12,000 feet above sea level, Mount Charleston is a perfect escape from the Las Vegas Strip.  If you come in the winter, you can enjoy skiing, sledding, and other fun winter sports at Lee Canyon.  In summertime you can escape the desert heat by heading to higher elevations for some hiking.

10.) Red Rock National Conservation*
Most tourist don’t even realize that only 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip, you can find the beauty of the Mojave desert.  Red Rock is the perfect place for a drive, family hike or a family photo shoot.

13.) The Volcano at the Mirage
14.) Discovery Children’s Museum*
15.) Downtown Summerlin
16.) The District at Green Valley Ranch
17.) Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay*

The best part about this list is that more than half of these places are free!!  I’ve stared all the places that you have to pay.  I think that you would be surprised just how kid friendly Las Vegas can be.

    LOVE this list!!! The next time we go back there with our little ones I'll make sure we stop at some of these places. We primarily stuck to the strip for our last trip, but I love that there are so many things for kiddos there!

    It's always great to see the list of places that the locals like to visit when it comes to touristy places like LV. Definitely saving this so we can go to some of these places next time we are there!

    I happy to share the other side of Vegas with you. I don't like gambling either, but Vegas is much more than that!

I have another round up of cozy outfits! I have to admit that I have been in a bit of a style rut! The lack of sunshine has made it really hard for me to feel motivated to get creative with my outfits and I've been finding myself repeating the same clothes over and over again. 

That's why this week I built each outfit around one piece in my wardrobe that I haven't worn in a while. I have a lot of clothes and sometimes rediscovering pieces that I love help my outfits feel more fun and creative!
