Whenever Las Vegas is mentioned, I think of newlyweds celebrating their honeymoon. Other times, the idea of adults just going out there to do adult things crosses my mind. The point is, anytime I hear someone speaking about Las Vegas, the first thing that comes to mind is it is an “adults only” destination. The truth is, Las Vegas has adult attractions as well as children’s attractions. Let’s take a look at some of the attractions that Las Vegas offers that can be appealing to families planning a trip there:
Family Friendly Vegas Shows:
