Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Desert View Point

"The most memorable thing about The Venetian is its huge array of restaurants. It has always played a major role in the food scene in Las Vegas (especially in the celeb chef arena), and it has recently made some welcome changes. David Chang’s Majordomo Meat & Fish, inspired by its sister restaurant in Los Angeles is in; Estiatorio Milos relocated its incredible seafood (and best lunch deal on the Strip) from Cosmopolitan; and Mott 32 is some of the best Chinese food you can have on the Strip."

"Venice, Italy, is famous for its canals and singing gondoliers, but travelers won’t need a passport to ride the Grand Canal at the Venetian Casino Resort in Nevada’s largest city. The Venetian named their premier shopping mall the Grand Canal, then built a canal through it. Gondolas, complete with costumed singing gondoliers, guide their craft under bridges and balconies, and past shops with exterior décor that mimics the real thing."

"If you haven’t been to Venice (read ort itinerary here) or just love Gondola rides you can take one at The Venetian. The Venetian did a great job on replicating the canal to look just like Venice. You’ll have the option to ride inside or outside and up to four people can fit on one gondola."

"The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is easily a top candidate for the most photographed spot in Las Vegas. It’s also one of the best free attractions on the Strip. On display in the hotel lobby, the exhibits change every few months based on the season (like autumn and spring), holidays (like Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving) or whatever seems to be a compelling visual (a Japanese tea garden and “Under the Sea” were recent favorites)."

"The Bellagio is one of the most elegant hotels on the strip and the Bellagio conservatory and gardens are reflective of that atmosphere in a kid friendly environment. The atrium is filled with sculptures that are changed seasonally and made entirely from flowers, trees, and plants. Bellagio fountains as seen from above."

"On a hot summer day if you’re looking for some indoor attractions for kids, this is a safe bet. It’s free, in the Bellagio’s lobby and changes with every season and holiday. There are thousands of plants and flowers that are nicely divided into various color themes."

"The Fremont Street Experience is mostly known for its overhead light show, Viva Vision, a spectacular display of lights and technology that fills the canopy on a regular basis. Street performers, impersonators and artists, known as buskers, are found all along the street level on Fremont Street, making a walk up and down the few blocks of the FSE feel like an adult carnival. A zip line ride, SlotZilla, zooms riders under the canopy and over the heads of the people below."

"What used to be the whistle-whetting pit stop for cowboys passing through a tumbleweed town, Old Vegas still stands. Like the champ it is, it holds its reputation for being the best in the West for its undeniable good-time allure. Hosting guests in hotels of yesteryear and winding into current times with new and renovated restaurants and entertainment as well, Downtown Las Vegas remains the most eclectic and authentic part of the city to date."

"The Fremont Street Experience is an attraction no visitor to Las Vegas should miss. Located on a five-block section of Fremont Street, known as Glitter Gulch in the city’s early years, the Fremont Street Experience is a top-notch sound and light show that will wow the senses. Colorful displays of lights and loud music take place several times a night under a 90-foot high canopy."

"S. Maryland Look, there are a lot of ice cream shops in Las Vegas selling some form of ube ice cream, but this tiny little scoop shop (no crazy cereal-coated cones or over-the-top made-for-Instagram dessert concoctions here) located inside the Seafood City Supermarket on Maryland has the absolute best. Trust me on this one -- I have been on this mission for a while. Get the ube macapuno (ube with coconut) for the richest, creamiest, most decadent ice cream in town."

"so hard to find good vegan pizza but this was delicious & chris was cool to chat with for a few. the art inside was the bonus vibe i didn’t know i ne..."

"DowntownIf you thought 100% plant-based ice cream couldn't possibly be as sinful as the real thing, allow Paradise City Creamery to blow your mind. Founder Valerie Stunning is not shy about her previous sex worker days, and she brings all of that cheeky showmanship to her ice cream brand, which celebrates pleasure-seeking indulgence and plays up the naughtier side of ice cream. Current summer flavors include Birthday Sex handies (ube cream with brandy icing and paradise pink sprinkles sandwiched between ube birthday cake cookies) and XXXpense It!"

"Monte Carlo’s BLVD Creamery has the answer for indecisive ice cream fanatics: a flight of four flavors. Good thing, as there are so many interesting ones to try, such as watermelon jalapeno, grape, and maple with bacon bits. And since it’s Vegas, there are plenty of boozy options (IDs required), including Prosecco, Merlot, and Horchata with Rum."

"Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino isn't just home to one of the best pools in Las Vegas, but also to Blvd Creamery. Ice Cream made fresh daily from regular flavor to specialty ones. My ultimate favorite is the Tres Leche ice cream, sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies!"

"A high-energy 16-seat center bar featuring an innovative self-pour and automated beer system that offers a rotating selection of dozens of beers from around the world, along with cocktails and wines, all on tap."

"In the shadows of the Strip, you’ll find Domsky Glass, a studio that utilizes metal and glass to create innovative lighting and sculptures. The art gallery has created beautiful custom pieces for world-class hotels, Cirque Du Soleil shows, fine dining restaurants, and high-end shops. You can contact the studio to arrange a visit, or check out an open house and see the art of glass-blowing in person."

"This is the hottest new attraction in Las Vegas that’s a mix of art, shopping, and food. It’s free to enter (though it requires tickets to control capacity) and there are plenty of murals and free art installations to browse. If you want to see certain exhibits, you can purchase tickets separately or as a bundle on the AREA15 site."

"STRIPSTEAK is the second restaurant by Chef Michael Mina on this list, and it’s located inside the Mandalay Bay and Delano hotel/casino resort. This was the chef’s first steakhouse, and it does not disappoint. It may be sacrilegious to say that my favorite meal at a steakhouse is actually seafood — the Scottish salmon, to be exact."

"Esquire magazine once named chef Michael Mina's butter-poached, bone-in-top loin one of the USA's very best steaks. The chef's minimalist steakhouse knifes into an exceptional menu of all-natural Angus and..."
