Las Vegas Vacations Made Easy - for Families

If your idea of Las Vegas, NV is limited to shining limos, glamor girls and uninhibited gambling and the like, you need to discover something more.

Take for example the Hoover Dam Helicopter Tour. An EC-130 Eco Star will take you over the dam, giving you a bird's eye view of the magnificent power station, the reservoir and the amazing landscapes that surround them all. Built in 1936, this 736' dam built across Colorado river is surrounded by picture perfect landscapes, making it an must-see destination in Southwestern US. The ticket costs $124 for an adult and $104 for children aged 2-11, for a flight of around 15 minutes. Hotel pick up and drop off included. You can take your still and video cameras with you.

Also consider a photo tour through the Valley of Fire State Park, a safe off-road adventure trip through the Aztec Sandstone formation, which are like nothing else in the world. You will also see the once spiritual center of Native Americans, which is a treasure trove of ancient American Indian art, petroglyphs, and a glimpse to the survival of people in the desert several thousands of years ago. The place not to miss is Lost City Museum, where you will discover the remnants of culture that existed here until around 2000 years ago. Did I mention there will be lot of stops to shoot the magnificent landscapes?

Red rock formations of Bryce/Zion also takes you to some of the breathtaking landscapes that you have seen in high-budget Hollywood movies. Nine out of ten photos you take here will be a picture perfect postcard for your own collection.

Grand Canyon West Rim Motorcoach trips, Colorado river rafting, etc also will take your breath away with the sights of impossible landscapes, geographical features and thrilling tours.

Family trips to Las Vegas with children are not complete until you see the Las Vegas Zoo, The Adventuredome Theme Park, Fast Lap Las Vegas Indoor Car Racing, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, and a trip to M&Ms World.
