Las Vegas is thought to be a place where adults go to see shows, dine and gamble. However, Las Vegas has many activities for kids including kid-friendly hotels, which have specials for adults traveling with their children and on-site activities for kids to do. One attraction that is family oriented is the Hoover Dam, which is over 30 miles from many of the family-friendly hotels in Las Vegas.
At Circus Circus, kids 17 years of age and younger stay free in their parents' room.

On the Midway, kids will find an electronic arcade with over 200 games to keep them busy. There is miniature golf, roller coaster rides, boat rides and bumper cars.
Besides the rides at the dome, the hotel has a circus act everyday on the Midway. Circus Circus has a sweet shop, sports memorabilia store, a clown store and a kid's clothing store. On-site restaurants include Pizzeria with salads and pizza, The Pink Pony Café with sandwiches, soups and full meals, and Circus Buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
