There is a lot for you to do http://www.bestofvegas.com/bestof/Best-S… there is a good article on some hang out places, but you can also go to more of the attractions too.What is there to do in vegas for two teenagers?
There are a lot of things to do in Vegas besides gambling. Many of the hotels, especially on the strip, have non-gaming activities.


Go on the rides at New York, New York, or the Stratosphere or the Sahara.


Visit the art museum at the Bellagio or the nuclear power museum.


Watch the pirate show at TI.


Go to Madame Tussuad's wax museum.


Take tours. One tour that is a blast is the comedian tour of Hoover Dam.


Watch some of the free attractions like the sky parade at the Rio, the volcano at the Mirage, the fountain shows at the Bellagio.


Go bowling or swimming at many of the hotels.


There are always conventions there. See if any of them appeal to you.


One of my all-time favorites is the Star Trek experience at the Hilton.


At 18 you may walk through the casinos to get someplace else so you can always check out the decors.


Mandalay Bay has a great Shark Reef.


Take in some shows. You can get half price tickets on the strip next to M %26amp; M World.


For that matter, M %26amp; M World has a really fun free video on the top floor.


Go to the jousting tournament at Excalibur.


Shop at the outlet malls.


Go downtown to the Fremont Street Experience, (and watch your wallet here!)


Eat at the buffets.
Well, Vegas is an adult playground and you have to be 21 to do most of the stuff. If there is gambling or liquor (tables, slots, night club) you have to be 21. Otherwise you can enjoy the pools, shows, and restaurants. Casinos will not allow you to wander in the gaming areas even if you don't gamble.





Check out www.lasvegasnow.com for ideas





Pick up those magazines at the hotel registration that have lots of coupons in them when you arrive.





But there are fun things to do:





Shark Reef Mandalay Bay


Dolphin Habitit %26amp; Sigfriend Roy's Secret Garden Mirage


Star Trek Experience Hilton


Scream rollercoaster NYNY


101 stories high rides Stratosphere





There are 5 Cirque shows - TI/Mystere considered by locals the best, no bad seats and cheapest; Mirage/Love Beattles tribute; O! a water version of Mystere; Zumanity adult version; %26amp; KA a dream version. There are hordes of other shows like Caesars/Bette or Cher or Tina, Trop/Follies; Ballys/Juballee. Make sure you try a buffet or two.





You can go bowling or see a movie at South Point or Orleans. You can see a movie in the theatre complex by the MGM Grand.





Sights to see off Strip - Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, Valley of Fire, Springs Preserve, Have fun in my beautiful city in the middle of the Mohave Desert.





I recommend you find another city to celebrate your 18th and wait until your 21st to truly enjoy Vegas.
Hopefully, you are staying at a hotel with a great pool. Don't forget that there is a lot of shopping, too. Most every hotel has shops and lots to see. Planet Hollywood has 130 shops. Then there is the Fashion Show Mall center strip. It has 250 shops and 6 major department stores.





The Stratosphere has some pretty scary rides at the top of the tower, too. New York, New York is made to look a lot like neighborhoods in Manhattan right down to steam coming out of the manhole covers. The Venetian has a canal with gondolas. Take your time and really look around. The artwork on the ceiling can take your breath away.





Tip- a free tram runs from Excalibur to Mandalay Bay, back to Luxor and then Excalibur again. Saves a lot of walking. There is another that connects Mirage and Treasure Island. When in Treasure Island check out Kahunaville. It is a tropical themed restaurant that is not too pricey and is a lot of fun. It is right accross from the Mystere show theater.





See some of the shows, too. The Cirque shows are amazing, the Blue Man is fun, too. You have to experience the buffet at Paris for breakfast. Ooo-la-la! Great! They even have a made to order omelet station and a made to order crepe station. Get plenty of raspberries and lots of whipped cream! This buffet is huge so take a good look around but don't forget where your seat is.





*
There is actually not as much as you would think. You might like the Arcades at Gameworks. Sunset park is often mentioned but kind of boring if you ask me.





Vegas is really just like any other big city. Locals find plenty to do, but the touristy stuff is really for Adults.





Here's a list you might want to check out that has pretty much every activity for - I hate to call you Kids, but lets just say under 18.

Vegas is great for anyone over 21, and anyone under 14. In the middle they will get bored. Sure there many be plenty of things for them to do, but I know they will feel antsy and not be having a great time.
check out the las Vegas natural history museum! its awesome!!! we have live animals including sharks,sting rays snakes, and much more!! i suggest going on a Saturday!! check it out at www.lvnhm.org.
You can't gamble or drink...
DRINK MARGARITAS ALL DAY
GAMBLE FOOLS








HOTELS


POOLS


FOOD


GET A REAL LIFE
First thing is you need to be sure that there is a person going with you who is over age 21 to reserve a room for you. Then I suggest staying at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, the MGM, or the Monte Carlo. These hotels have the best pool areas. The Mandalay bay has a huge wave pool with a sand beach and a lazy river. MGM has a huge lazy river and a water fall. Monte Carlo has a small wave pool and lazy river.








When you go to Las Vegas these usual things you will want to see for FREE:





1. Number one on my list is to watch the fountains displays in front of the Bellagio hotel. It usually runs every 15 minutes in summers starting at 3:00 PM; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different (there are more than 20 different tunes choreographed) so stay and watch at least 2 or 3. ALSO, go inside the Bellagio hotel to its lobby and view the beautiful glass sculptured ceiling AND the seasonal floral arrangements in the Atrium.





2. The “Sirens of TI” show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel; it runs every 90 minutes starting at about 4:30 PM. Simply stand on the sidewalk in front of the TI Hotel.





3. The volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel; starting at dark until midnight. Again, just stand on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.





4. Go down to Fremont Street and see the light shows. There are usually 3 or 4 different shows, starting after dark (about 8:30PM) and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.





5. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Masquerade in the Sky show. It is like Mardi Gras parade, only suspended from the ceiling over the gambling floor. It runs every 60 minutes starting about 3:00 PM; the last show starts at 9:30 PM..





6. Go in Caesars Palace and walk through the Forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) then take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium. Then continue on through the shops to the second fountain and wait for the show to start.





If you are a Star Trek Fan, go to the Hilton (off the strip) for ';Star Trek The Experience';; it cost about $35.





MOVIES: There are movie theaters in the Palms (multiplex) and also another on the Strip across the street from the Monte Carlo hotel, near the MGM hotel.





BOWLING: If you like to bowl, there are alley's in The Gold Coast Hotel/Casino (beside the RIO) and in the Orleans Hotel Casino. .





ACT LIKE A KID: If you like roller coasters, there are roller coaster rides at the NY, NY hotel/casino, at the Sahara Hotel/Casino, and, for those with a strong heart, three rides at the top of the Stratosphere Tower. The Circus Circus Hotel/casino has arcades and an indoor amusement park. There is a place called Game Works below the Coke World experience that has all type video games. In addition, many hotels have an arcade area.





OTHER THINGS:





RED ROCK CANYON: Its about 20 miles west of Las Vegas out Charleston Blvd (you can pick up that street at the north end of the Strip) It’s a scenic drive-through park. Go early, not in the heat of the day; there's no shade.





HOOVER DAM: Drive about 30 miles southeast of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park Service offers tours there (@ $15.) and its interesting stuff. Go on past Hoover dam to Boulder City and then to Lake Meade for a swim and/or to visit the new casino there. Also, there are tour companies that will take you on a cruise of the river below Hoover Dam. Check the Vegas web sites.





VALLEY OF FIRE STATE PARK: Drive about 35 miles north of Vegas on I-15 and go to Valley of Fire State Park, another scenic park area.
