Las Vegas [is for all ages] Travel Guide

April 27, 2022
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

I went on two girl’s trips to Vegas, and we did the 21-and-over version of Vegas. Going back as a family trip, with our toddler in tow looked a whole lot different, but still a whole-lot-amazing! What are you going to Vegas for? Name it. You want to see shows? You can see anything under the sun. You want to gamble? Yup…there’s lots of that there. You want to eat, eat, eat? Take your pick of cuisine! You want to dance on tables? Very much allowed! You want to hang out in the pool and drink (or not drink)? That’s most certainly available too. You want to bring your kids and make it a family affair? Totally do-able. I’m sure you get my point. Vegas has a little bit of everything. You may leave with dry eyes and a sore throat from the lack of sleep and immense amount of smoke (yup, I’m more than ready for that to no longer be allowed in casinos…how is that still allowed, for real??), but you’ll have some memories to be sure. So, let’s break it down!…

[Let me add, while usually I mostly share what I’ve experienced personally on my travel guides, for this one, I also wanted to share what came highly recommended from other families who have travelled to Vegas with children!]

Activities

Shows

The shows are endless, so really you can take your pick. Whether you want to see Cirque du Soleil, singers, dancers, or magicians, it’s all there. If you’re going sans kids, take your pick. From me today, here are a few suggestions that will hopefully be evergreen content and are also great for kids:

  • The Cirque du Soleil
  • Brooklyn Bowl The Rock n Roll Playhouse
  • Mat Franco Magic Reinvented Nightly
  • Tournament of Kings Dinner Show

Indoor Things

  • Discovery Children’s Museum 
  • Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay
  • Flamingo Wildlife Habitat
  • MGM Conservatory
  • Madame Tussauds’ Wax Museum
  • Marvel’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N.
  • M & M Store & Hershey’s Store
  • There’s always plenty of shopping, if that’s your thing

Outdoor Things

  • Bellagio Fountains (check link for fountain display times!)
  • The High Roller Ferris Wheel
  • Town Square Children’s Park
  • Downtown Container Park (for all ages)
  • The Park (envisioned as a microcosm of the Mojave Desert; this was one of our favourite spots!)
  • And of course, I hope you have a hotel that allows you to swim, swim swim!

Explore Afar

  • Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
  • Lake Mead National Recreation Area
  • Lake Las Vegas
  • Red Rock Canyon (Ice Box Canyon Trail)
  • Seven Magic Mountains
  • Ethel M’s Botanical Cactus Garden
  • Springs Preserve
  • Fremont Street (second most popular street to the downtown strip)

Sports

  • See your favourite hockey team take on the Golden Knights
  • Catch some football with the Raiders
  • And check out other Las Vegas sports here

Now to the Food…

Breakfast

It’s sad how many times I’ve been to Vegas, and how little I have for you in the realm of breakfast, but breakfast for us has usually either been at the hotel or a grab-and-go, such as Starbucks.

  • BabyStacks Cafe

Lunch

  • Gordon Ramsay Burger – burgers
  • Walburgers – burgers
  • Eataly – Italian; always so many options to choose from in Eataly to dine in or take out
  • Canyon Ranch Grill – gluten-free & vegan options, also good for breakfast
  • True Food Kitchen – a chance to eat clean in Vegas, and you may keep going back for more!

Dinner

These are mostly finer-dining places. We definitely brought our kiddo to these places, but just a heads up!

  • Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
  • TAO Asian Bistro
  • STK Steakhouse
  • Spago
  • Catch
  • Eataly – it needed to be mentioned again!

Grab & Go

  • Food Trucks
  • Shake Shack
  • Chipotle

Tea

Some would say I’m ridiculous to want tea in Vegas of all places, but I do me, okay?! Ha!

  • Tea Lounge (Waldorf) – high tea
  • Petrossian Bar (Bellagio) – high tea
  • The Alley (Venetian/Palazzo)
  • Cafe Lola

Hope you party hard, even if it’s family-friendly style!

Our beach date turned us into icicles, but it’s Our beach date turned us into icicles, but it’s okay…Collins figured out I make for a pretty good wind and blowing sand blocker. 

Also, we had the beach to ourselves, because other people actually read the wind report. 

What are you doing outside this weekend?!

Language is important. Solo parenting. Single pa Language is important. 

Solo parenting. Single parenting. Co-parenting. I’m curious if you say each of those out loud, what comes up for you. 

I solo parent a lot. Meaning, I am parenting without my husband in town, so yes, I carry the majority of the child and household care. But even then, I know I very much have a different amount of emotional and financial support from my spouse that a single parent simply does not have. So when people say, “how is single parenting going this week?” I feel the need to mention I’m not single parenting, because I know enough single parents, that I wouldn’t compare my solo parenting situation to them. I know next week my husband will be home to share some of the load with me, and while he’s gone is able to check in on us!

I think language is so important. What other terms do we need to consider in our daily language?!
Did you hear?! We created a Foundation. I am so pr Did you hear?! We created a Foundation. I am so proud, honoured,  and grateful that this is something we could do, to “build a longer table, rather than a taller fence.” And…it’s all for the kids! Everything that will come of it is all a work in progress, but I so appreciate any and all of your support. If you want to go give our page a follow, you can see all the ways in which we are aiming to support kids (and parents) in raising the next generation!

When our schedules line up to have time together…🤍 [with our little in tow]

Also highly recommend seeing the cherry blossoms when they are no longer in peak bloom…all the space to yourself!

Also, starting Alphabet Date Night/Day again this spring/summer in Calgary, so taking suggestions as of now! What can’t we miss doing in YYC?!

Another round of toilet paper talk! Remember at t Another round of toilet paper talk!

Remember at the beginning of the season when J told my family I was no where near a (wannabe)minimalist, because the amount of toilet paper we moved from New York was outrageous? [Please also note we were one of the households that had no toilet paper in New York when toilet paper was literal gold, but I had peri bottles from postpartum and we happily made homemade bidets].

Well…it happened….I finally had to buy toilet paper again. 8 months later…🧻
When J and I were in grade 10, he kept turning aro When J and I were in grade 10, he kept turning around to me in Math Class and asking me to come watch one of his hockey games. I kept saying something along the lines of, “No, thanks. Can you stop distracting me, please? I’m trying to get my math done.” [So he knew what he was in for when he married me]. Anyhow, one time, I must have been over the requests, and I said, “Okay, sure, ya I’ll come.” I didn’t… I never showed. I got a call from him after the game saying I owed him for my no show, and he asked if I’d come hang out with his team. I agreed if I could bring about 6 friends along. Little did I know that one day I’d make mini versions of him…🤣
This was the end of the season last year, when we This was the end of the season last year, when we took our baby to Montauk!! We thought we’d be returning to New York, so left our house ready to come back in the fall, and then that wasn’t the case. Because we didn’t have time to scout out areas in Seattle, we decided to downsize our belongings (thank you, @anitarusso11 for being my godsend in New York), and rent an apartment for the season in downtown Seattle. Our plan was always one season to try it out. We have absolutely loveddd experiencing every inch of downtown, and experiencing apartment living with a toddler, even though having all our outdoor gear scattering around the apartment is always pure chaos!

But for next season, we have decided to bring a yard back into our lives!! So in a month, we are moving all of our stuff into storage until the fall. C has been a complete champ at rental house hunting with me, which has not been easy! Before our move in a month we still have three different groups of visitors, a long weekend trip for C and moi, and of course all the normal life things. So, basically what I’m saying is, “bring it on, April!”

Tell me something you have planned for next month, AKA 2 days away, AKA April!!
