Las Vegas with Kids: Family-Friendly Shows & Attractions
A family guide to Las Vegas: kid-appropriate shows, attractions kids love, the 21+ rules to know, and where families should stay.
Vegas works for families if you plan around the adult side. Always confirm a show's current age policy when booking.
Know the 21+ rules
Gaming floors and nightlife are 21+. Kids can stay in hotels and walk through casinos but can't linger on the gaming floor — see the first-time guide.
Family-friendly shows
- Mat Franco (The LINQ) — magic, ages 5+.
- Mystère by Cirque du Soleil (Treasure Island) — all ages; note it uses loud sound, darkness and strobe that can startle very young kids.
- Jabbawockeez (MGM Grand) — dance, all ages (children 4+ need a ticket).
