Las Vegas is a popular destination for party-goers, but it also caters to business travelers, as well as offering kid-friendly entertainment. You can find family activities as soon as you land at McCarran International Airport (LAS) where an Aviation Museum offers exhibits on the history of flying.

Less than five miles north, the whole family can find fun spots to explore on the Strip. From the custom candy at M&M World to carnival rides at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus, you can wear out the kids during the day, leaving you free to see the world-famous entertainment of Las Vegas at night.
