The Experience
This is where beer lovers fantasize about the ultimate conquest. This is where a beer guy would get married. It’s where a beer girl would have her bachelorette party. This is where the beer list is long, deep and complicated. The Pub at Monte Carlo is the spot where you hope the game goes in to overtime because you need to have at least 2 more shots at drinking your way through a 300 beer list.

Let’s just say you only have one night in Las Vegas. You want to have fun but you don’t want to waste any time. You want to hit the hot spots but you do not have the luxury of hoping that a place is right for you. That is why you and I are hooking up. I know Las Vegas and you want to have fun. I drink, eat and spend far too much time talking to strangers so that you do not have to worry about a single thing when you decide to let loose for one night in Las Vegas. That night is tonight, so let's do this.

Located in Symphony Park, The Smith Center is what Las Vegas looks like as a grown up. Don’t worry, you can still act like a college student on spring break on the Las Vegas strip but when it is time to imagine yourself as a more refined you, The Smith Center is where it happens. This epicenter for the arts adjacent to Downtown Las Vegas is world class in its combination of performances by resident companies, first-run touring attractions, lectures and internationally acclaimed performers in music, theater and dance.

It’s an icon on the Las Vegas strip. It seems like no matter where you are at you can see the giant tower that is the Stratosphere. I often think about the old hotel that was on the site, Bob Stupak’s Vegas World, it had some crusty carpets and I was always positive that they had the heaters turned on to high in order to make you forget about how bad everything seemed inside the casino. Those days are gone and now you can get quite a Las Vegas experience at the hotel on the north end of the Las Vegas strip.

Just as your family vacation is stating to come together you start trying to find something other than a few long days at the pool to make your kids happy in Las Vegas. Have no fear because we have you covered. Check out these options for some fun things to do for the family in Las Vegas.

The Experience
The best way to get a feel for Nine Fine Irishmen is to go in as the band is playng and people are raising their pints in a toast to pretty much anything. Grab your own pint and you’ll find yourself toasting the weather, the band or even just the fact that you are on vacation. The music can be loud but the atmosphere is festive. You might eat but you definitely have to have a drink and then think about memorizing one of the drinking anthems.

Who You Are Taking To The Restaurant

If you travel to Las Vegas with the kids you’ll have to eat so why not find a few spots that don’t break the bank and force you to play the penny slots, right? Oh, you like the penny slots? That is a different topic that we can discuss at a later date.

Here are a few of my choices for places that work for family meals and they have been battle tested by my two children who eat way too much than my wallet would prefer.

When looking for an ideal way to entertain the kids while on vacation it is quite easy to go the route of arcades and swimming pools in Las Vegas. They are abundant so why not. Well, because Las Vegas does have options for your family so you might as well use them. See a show with the kids and start introducing them to the stage.

What I’m taking my kids to see in Las Vegas:

When you start planning a family vacation you have to consider the overall costs associated with traveling with kids. Yes, I know, they didn’t give us these details when we brought them home from the hospital as infants. Remember, kids eat and they need to be entertained. You should also try to remember that depending on your children you’ll need plenty of options.

These choices for hotels in Las Vegas should help you plan a comfortable and affordable family vacation.

You won't be swimming and you might be dancing and I'm sure you'll be having a real good time at these Las Vegas pool party locations.
