Need a break? Plan a short family vacation to Vegas
(ARA) - A short trip to Las Vegas is easy to plan, even if you have children, because there are so many things you can fit into a few days. And it makes a great vacation destination, especially if you don't have many vacation days at your disposal.
Look for great Las Vegas vacation packages online through sites like Travelocity, where you can pair hotels with flights to get great deals on your trip. And once you have your trip scheduled, start planning what you want to see and do when you visit Las Vegas.
Behind the glitzy life most people associate with Las Vegas, is a huge playground for the entire family to enjoy. And if you want to extend your trip beyond just spending time in the city, there are several one-day excursions to nearby national parks that feature some of America's best-known scenery like the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam.
If your children are into knights, castles and royalty, Excalibur is not only right on the strip, but puts your family directly into the days of King Arthur and his Round Table. Your children will enjoy eating with their hands while cheering on a jousting match.
In addition to the great lodging opportunities, Las Vegas offers several entertainment options for children as well. The Blue Man Group has evening performances featuring quirky rhythms, eccentric outfits and unpredictable acts filled with witty satire that will have everyone in your family laughing. Or pretend you're in Hollywood and get up close and personal with the stars at Madame Tussaud's museum.
But don't forget the food. With world-renowned chefs opening restaurants left and right in Las Vegas hotels, there are enough spots to keep your family eating for days.
Consider trying the Picasso at Bellagio, which has Picassos decorating the walls of this restaurant - real ones. If that's not a demand that the food be top-of-the-line, nothing is. And because nothing is done half-heartedly at Bellagio, the food, crafted by Chef Julian Serrano, lives up to the challenge. The menu is a Spanish-French inspiration hybrid, echoing the countries where Picasso lived, though it changes on a daily basis to reflect the freshest ingredients of the season.
Also of interest are restaurants like Wing Lei (Wynn), Bar Charlie (Palazzo), Brasserie Daniel Boulud (Wynn), Michael Mina (Bellagio) and many more.
Las Vegas vacations can easily be extended to be longer than just a few days. Plenty of day-trip opportunities abound. Canyons, lakes, deserts, rivers and ranches surround the city in all directions, with something for every family's specific interests and adventure tastes.
Get your next vacation to Las Vegas planned soon, even if it's just for a couple of days. You'll enjoy the break from your regular life as you walk the strip, sample some delicious food or blink from the swirl of shimmering bright lights.
