Trying to find things to do with the kids in Las Vegas may seem challenging, but there are actually a ton of great options for fun family activities. Skip the casinos and the bars, and spend the day with your kids enjoying some of these great Las Vegas attractions.
Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat

The Dolphin Habitat is a huge pool with a viewing window above and under it, allowing visitors to watch the dolphins swim. You can even join the “trainer for a day” program to help train the dolphins for the day.
