A Great Place To Take Kids In Las Vegas
While I would never recommend taking children to Las Vegas, there are plenty of places to take your children that will entertain them while you are in Las Vegas. One of those places is the AdventureDome at the Circus Circus Hotel on the north part of the Strip in Las Vegas.
AdventureDome is a 5-acre indoor amusement park that is always climate controlled to 72 degrees! Admission to the park is free. If you want to ride one of the 23 attractions you will need to purchase individual ride tickets which run as much as $6.00 per ride or purchase all-day passes that start at $14.95 for juniors (under 48") and go to $22.95 for adults or those over 48" tall). Some rides are only available to those over 48" tall so it your child is slightly over the height requirement do not try to cheat the system and end up cheating your child out of a fun experience.
