Las Vegas For
Kids
by: Eric Madsen
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.
