Location: west of East Texas | We are going for the first four rounds. I've gone before, over 10 years ago, but didn't take any kiddos. What are some of the fun things we could do with a 17yo and a 12yo? I know we will cruise the shopping but none of us will want to do that every day. What are some of the best family things????? |

Location: Idaho | There are quite a few family friendly shows. There is the Reef at Mandalay bay but I wasnt really impressed for the money. I went to The Bodys at the Luxor. Very cool and educational but you need to be into that kind of thing, Im a nurse so I appreciated it. Do know if you do those, that they have specials where you can get a discount if you do two or three of them, at least thats how is was a couple years ago. They also had the Zip Line on Freemont Street. I heard that was really fun and pretty affordable. Roller coaster at NY NY. Lots of free shows, like the statues at Caesars Palace, the pirate ship at Treasure Island. I think it was the Palazzo that had a little stage show every hour or two. All those are on schedules so you just need to find out when they run. Also, my mom toom my 7 year old last year to the dolphin habitat at the Mirage. I know there are more and maybe the ones ive suggested arent there or have changed but that might help?? :) |

I almost went to "The Bodys" expo last year, but my feet and wallet needed a rest. Still would like to go. So I guess it is worth the money? |

Location: west of East Texas | I'm making a list! We definitely want to do the zipline. We were there in summer 2013 and went to do this on the one day of the week they didn't open. UGH. Kids haven't let me forget that. We didn't sightsee much because it was 120 degrees and completely miserable. Kids haven't let me forget that either! :) We are renting a car so Hoover Dam is probably going to be done too. Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming! |

I believe I hit a pretty good arcade in the Luxor a few years ago. It is a good place to spend a couple of hours. |

Location: Idahome | It has nothing to do with the rodeo, but the Las Vegas Children's Museum might be something fun. I remember going as a kid and I loved it. I am hoping I will get a chance to take my daughter this year if I get a day off from working at the Cowboy Christmas.
