Las Vegas - for Family Vacations

Yes, families do go to Las Vegas; this glitzy town has several attractions geared to kids, some located at major hotels, others "standalone" such as Wet'N'Wild Water Park. Families can also stay at some distance from the strip, at the luxury Lake Las Vegas resort. And day outings can get you into the great outdoors, to Red Rock Canyon, for example.
