No matter how young or old you get, you get a thrill or an excitement when going to Vegas. But you probably think of Vegas as a weekend with guys or for grownups only, but that isn't necessarily true, with a little planning you can discover a Las Vegas for families.

Circus Circus

One of the best places go to in Las Vegas with your kids is Circus Circus; there's a Carnival Midway and its home to the world's largest permanent circus. There are a wide variety of live circus acts that still appear under the Big Top and the best news of all is that they are free.

Mandalay Bay

For an awesome aquarium experience you have to visit Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Your journey through this undersea ocean is filled with heart thumping sights. You'll encounter unique aquatic animals and fish from around the world. Come nose to nose with a dangerous white shark. And if you're brave enough, you can put your hand in the water and touch a shark! Can you handle the excitement?

And talk about excitement, there is the famous Siegfried & Roy's tigers that you can view 24/7. These rare animals have been well taken care and some of them face total extinction. Walk through their home and learn their story. Circus acts, sharks, and tigers, OH MY!

The Tropicana

Have you watched the movie the Titanic? Well now you experience the tragedy at the Tropicana that houses an exhibit of the artifacts. The Titanic sank on April 14, 1912 and has been recorded as the worst human disaster in history. So not only are you have fun, but it's educational too!

And for another educational adventure you can experience an archeological dig, search for Pharaoh's tomb. This is a motion simulator that you makes you feel like you really are in Egypt instead of Vegas.
