I've posted this on the Aussie board as many have travelled to Las Vegas and have just found there is a Las Vegas board So will ask here too.
I'm thinking of adding three nights in Las Vegas, in early December, to our trip to the USA. Having never been before and always wanted to go, I saw a fabulous review of the Luxbus and it looks great. So thought we could add a quick visit to Vegas whilst in Anaheim as it seems quite easy to get there and we are in Anaheim for 16 nights (using it as a base for DL, daytours to LA & SD), so have time to add a couple of nights in Vegas.
It will just be DS (just 13 then) and myself (his mum). So want somewhere very central, safe for us to walk around outside day and night (not that we are going to be out late at night, just early evening for dinners and maybe some shopping etc.
I'm not sure if this is possible, having never been to Las Vegas, but I have heard it can be really smokey at some hotels , so somewhere that is non smoking (or at least not too smokey).
I'm looking at Excalibur, Paris, The Mirage, MGM Grand and maybe New York New York and maybe even Bellagio? My son loves animals so I thought the Mirage might be good, but Excalibur looks good (from the outside) and it is certainly up there on all of the best hotels for kids in Las Vegas list's I've looked at. I love the look of Bellagio too.
There are just SO many options and it's all very overwhelming. They all get good and bad comments on TA, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has been to Vegas with kids, where did you stay? Was it good? Any info would be great. All I know about Vegas is from CSI, movies, oh and when the Kardashians visit on their shows So I'm in the early stages of investigating the city as I only decided yesterday to add it and have plenty of planning time until December.
Thanks
