Agents of Shield – I didn't personally do this, but my husband and son did and they had an absolute blast! We got discounted tickets so it was a pretty good deal. It's like a museum of everything Marvel, but then at the end, you are sent on a mission! There weren't a lot of people there when they went so one of the employees helped them with their mission to help them get through it a little faster. I believe they spent about 1.5-2 hours there.
Coca Cola – We got the float tasting tray and the internation soda tasting tray. There was more than enough for all four of us to share and get a good taste of everything. There were some that were very interesting and delicious and others that practically made us gag. But what a fun little game! It's almost like the soda version of Bean Boozled!
MnMs World – I truly had no idea how you could get 4 stories our of MnMs! I mean, how many different varieties could there be? Well, they don't just sell those little chocolate candies. We didn't buy a lot, but it was fun to walk around and see everything. Plus, there's a 4D movie (about 15 minutes) that they show. And there are plenty of cute little photo-ops. Plus, there's a racecar on the top floor!
Hershey World – How can you go wrong with chocolate, right? We took so many fun pictures and just loved looking at everything. They had a cool little station with tablets where you could design your own Hershey's bar wrapper.
Mandalay Bay's Aquarium – My son and I decided to go to this one by ourselves. He just loves fish! And we always have tons of fun at aquariums. We've been to quite a few and we really enjoyed this one. I love the way that it's set up so that you start in one place and then follow a walkway through the aquarium so that you don't miss anything. It can be a little on the pricey side though.
Bellagio Fountains – This is a fun little free activity. We decided to watch this after dark on our way back to our hotel. We got there just as one of the shows was ending so we picked out a prime spot when everyone was leaving and then sat on the sidewalk while we waited for the next show to start. We had been walking all day and were completely exhausted so it was nice to rest for a moment. And the show was absolutely beautiful! We just loved the way the music and the water and lights worked together to make a wonderous show for everyone to see. We caught the beginning of the next show when we were walking inside the Bellagio and it was a completely different show so just because you've seen it once doesn't mean you've seen everything it has to offer.
Las Vegas Welcome Sign – This sign is quite the hike at the south end of the strip. I would even say it's past the south end of the strip. But to me, it's just so iconic that you have to go. We ended up visiting literally days after the mass shooting so there were tons of flowers and other things from people paying their respects. There was a man there to take your picture accepting tips. That was nice because I didn't know if we would be able to rely on the kindness of strangers to take one for us. And everyone did a pretty great job of standing in an organized line to get their picture taken.
High Roller – If you ask, my son will tell you that this was the coolest thing we did while we were in Vegas. It is definitely an amazing sight to see! We went after dark (which is a little more expensive than going during the day). And I'm so glad we chose to pay the extra cost. It was absolutely gorgeous! The trip lasts about a half hour. There's music playing and a TV that shows you where you are on your journey and has random trivia facts. There's clearly enough room for like 20-30 people in there, but ours only had 8, which was kind of nice. You can probably only fit about 10 people sitting.
Gondola Ride – Even though it was pretty expensive, we decided to take a gondola ride. It was so much fun though! I love that your gondolier sings to you the whole time. It can be romantic, but we brought our son with us. And he just had a blast.
These were some of our favorite things on this trip that we did with our son (who is 7) so we consider them to be kid-friendly! I hope that if you take a trip to Las Vegas anytime soon, you'll consider doing some of these things.
