Las Vegas For Kids
by:

Next to hitting a big enough jackpot to
retire early, what’s the other secret wish of
vacationing parents on the Strip? Freedom from
‘the kids’. Studies conducted by the Las Vegas
Visitor’s Bureau show that over 5 million kids
visit Las Vegas each year. Camp Las Vegas is
the first of its kind to offer tours on the
Las Vegas Strip specially designed for kids,
aged 7 to 17.
The tours run by day (10am to 2pm) and
evening (6pm to 10pm), seven days a week.
Granted, this camp is not your average
arts-and-crafts variety. It’s adventure with a
capital “A”. Tour activities combine
everything from shark sightings, safaris,
mummy tombs, knight jousting, roller coasters,
American Idol auditions, 3-D movies to arcade
games.
You won’t find any sack lunches, here. All
tours include a meal at hip restaurants like
Rainforest Café, Planet Hollywood, NASCAR Café
and more. Plus, kids go home with a free
t-shirt and gift.
All Camp Las Vegas tour activities are
rated “K” for kid-approved. Safety goes beyond
screening entertainment content. Adhering to
the highest security standards, the camp
offers a secured check-in and check-out
process of children at various hotels on the
Strip where each tour commences and ends.
A ratio of one camp director for every six
campers and a maximum limit of twelve kids per
tour ensure a secure, supervised environment.
Furthermore, all camp tour directors have
passed local, state, and national background
checks.
The best news? Parental peace of mind comes
at a wallet-kind price. The adventure tours
are priced at only $99. Since it’s inception,
Las Vegas has always been known as an adult
playground. Kids were never considered the
target tourist market for the glittering jewel
destination in the desert… until Camp Las
Vegas.
