Las Vegas is known for hotels, casinos, and parties for adults. Although the city has been nicknamed "Sin City," a place for adults to escape and enjoy an adult playground, Las Vegas has started to change its image recently by catering to families and couples. Hotels now offer free stays for children of various ages, entertainment and even child care so that families can vacation together.
Circus Circus is a 3,770-room hotel that offers free stays for children 18 and under, three heated swimming pools, cribs, arcade and a playground. The Adverturedome theme park offers free circus acts each evening including trapeze artists and clowns. The arcade offers more than 200 games to keep children entertained.
