Livin' La Vida Vegas!
Las Vegas with Little Ones
By C.J. Johnson
Feel like splurging? Take your family to see Mystere at Treasure Island. This performing group is fabulous and will please children of all ages. This circus-like show is spectacularly unique, but expensive. Tickets are $88 for children and adults alike.
The Ghiradelli Chocolate Shop and creamery is right on the strip and offers the tastiest ice cream and desserts. The prices are reasonable and the selections will make you drool. Make sure you take your kids in for a sundae!
Throughout the day it is easy to catch a water show at the Bellagio. Just stand on the sidewalk in front of the hotel and wait for the excitement to begin. The Bellagio Water Show is synchronized to music and is worthy of your wait. If you are patient enough to return at dark, the show takes on a new intensity.
No tickets or appointments are necessary to watch the brilliant erupting volcano at The Mirage. But patience and an early arrival are required to get a good spot to see the eruption. Explosions occur frequently after the sun goes down.
The Pirate Show at Treasure Island begins at 4 p.m. daily and continues every hour and a half until midnight. The intricate scenery sets the stage for nightly pirate battles. The actors are handsome, burly fighting men, and the ships are equipped for battle. With gunshots and fires it is a skirmish not to be missed. Children of all ages cluster at the pier to watch the display. Get there at least a half-hour before show time to guarantee a good viewing spot.
Don't miss jousting in Excalibur! Each night the entertainment begins as knights clang their swords together and twirl around in battle. Bring your cameras.
New acts grace the stage at the Circus Circus big top every hour. The performers are professional and know how to please n audience. There is no charge, but make sure you are there at least a half-hour before show time to get seats. Otherwise you can look forward to watching the show while you stand. Performances begin daily at 11 a.m.
