Next to hitting a big enough jackpot to retire early, what’s the
other secret wish of vacationing parents on the Strip? Freedom
from ‘the kids’. Studies conducted by the Las Vegas Visitor’s
Bureau show that over 5 million kids visit Las Vegas each year.
Camp Las Vegas is the first of its kind to offer tours on the
Las Vegas Strip specially designed for kids, aged 7 to 17.
The tours run by day (10am to 2pm) and evening (6pm to 10pm),
seven days a week. Granted, this camp is not your average
arts-and-crafts variety. It’s adventure with a capital “A”. Tour
activities combine everything from shark sightings, safaris,
mummy tombs, knight jousting, roller coasters, American Idol
auditions, 3-D movies to arcade games.
You won’t find any sack lunches, here. All tours include a meal
at hip restaurants like Rainforest Café, Planet Hollywood,
NASCAR Café and more. Plus, kids go home with a free t-shirt and
gift.
All Camp Las Vegas tour activities are rated “K” for
kid-approved. Safety goes beyond screening entertainment
content. Adhering to the highest security standards, the camp
offers a secured check-in and check-out process of children at
various hotels on the Strip where each tour commences and ends.
A ratio of one camp director for every six campers and a maximum
limit of twelve kids per tour ensure a secure, supervised
environment. Furthermore, all camp tour directors have passed
local, state, and national background checks.
The best news? Parental peace of mind comes at a wallet-kind
price. The adventure tours are priced at only $99. Since it’s
inception, Las Vegas has always been known as an adult
playground. Kids were never considered the target tourist market
for the glittering jewel destination in the desert… until Camp
Las Vegas.

trips to Vegas, in the 70's it was not a good idea to take kids.
