Family-Friendly Things to do in Las Vegas Strip
Las Vegas Strip and Family-Friendly typically do not go in the same sentence. I remember having a discussion with my boss about the Las Vegas Raiders and asked why not take his son to the Raiders game in their new stadium and he responded "I will never take my kids to Vegas". I can understand that going to Sin City is probably the last place many parents would have on the list for a family trip. Believe it or not, Cody and I have never been. It's just one of those cities we were not really eager to visit but my mom — who also has never visited the city — wanted to visit it at least once.
While I do not find the Vegas strip kid-friendly as there are people smoking everywhere, numerous feathered-costume girls on the street, and naked photos of women on the ground, there are still many cool places to visit with your little ones!
M&M's World
This 4-floor building is probably Hayleigh's favorite. What is a more family-friendly thing to do in the Las Vegas strip than enjoy the chocolate world? You can gift and apparel as well as personalize your own M&Ms. Hayleigh was able to choose different shades of pink and purple with her name and different shapes. They are full of colors and goodness!

Coca Cola Store
Do you prefer Pepsi or Coke? Cause if you prefer Coke, you should stop by! This retail store is full of Coca-Cola goodies and apparel as well as Coca-Cola Las Vegas exclusive merchandise!

New York-New York & Hershey's Chocolate World
Just right across the M&Ms World is Hershey's Chocolate World. The bridge can be used to cross the road where it will lead you to New York-New York Hotel & Casino. Here, you can customize your Hershey's chocolate bars. Inside the store is an 800-lbs chocolate replica of the Statue of Liberty!

Bellagio
This iconic "dancing fountain" is a must-see in Vegas. They are beautiful during the day but there is something about them during the evening! If you are catching Bellagio at night, make sure to check the Volcano too! The fountain display is timed to put on a show every 30 minutes from 3 PM (or Noon, please check & verify show time) till 7 PM, and every 15 minutes from 7 PM till Midnight.

High Roller
The High Roller is not our typical county Ferris wheel. This monster is 550-ft with 28 transparent observation pods holding 40 passengers each. For comparison, if you're a Disney fanatic, our famous Pixar Pal-A-Round in DCA is only 150-ft tall.
Funny Story: We opt-out of riding them because I watched too many TikToks when the High Roller got stuck for 90 minutes. Haha

Paris Las Vegas
This French-themed casino hotel has an indoor mall and replicas of several Paris attractions. They have plenty of dining and Paris-inspired boutiques and stores. Hayleigh loves Paris (she's my geography geek!) so she was so happy to walk around the mall and see this half-size Eiffel Tower.
