2006 - Las Vegas w/ the kids

Las Vegas, Grand Canyon vacation with 8 and 2 year old children. And the grandparents are coming too so we have a chance to go out and act like husband and wife when the kids are down for the evening. :)

A rocky start
We flew out Thursday night. We were worried about Sidney's behavior on the plane. It turns out that she was fantastic. We should have worried about a plane full of drunk twenty something males headed to Las Vegas for the weekend. Specifically, there were three kids that had the mentality of a six year old that sat behind us. It was very upsetting and a number of passengers complained. JetBlue didn't do anything. I'm going to write a letter to the company because they should have done a better job instead of just taking the cash and keeping the booze flowing.

We arrived in Las Vegas around 10p local time and checked into the Orleans hotel and went straight to bed. We flew the day of the terrorist plot to bring down ten airplanes was foiled so we were thrilled to make it to Las Vegas in one piece.
Mission accomplished, Viva Las Vegas!

I would appreciate advice on where to stay and what the boy (age 6) should do while I'm at meetings. In Boston, Chicago, and San Fran he's had a blast going to children's museums with a sitter.
The conference is at the Riviera, which is too expensive. I'm trying to decide betweeen Circus Circus, which is close, and Orleans, which has the kids' club on-site but would probably be too far to pop in on him in the middle of the day. I need to book soon, so would appreciate comments asap.
Thanks!
