A trip from August 10, 2006 to August 19, 2006, travelling to Las Vegas, Boulder City

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. :)
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.
We LIVE in Vegas....and NO...there is never anything for kids on the strip!! ALL of the Casinos have their girls dressing SOOOO skimpy now. Naked women are on ALL the billboards, porn cards are handed out on the street, HUGE TV screens are showing music videos on the strip that are extremely dirty, and in some casinos - there are poles that the girls will dance on...for free...while you gamble. Take your children to Disneyland or somewhere where you can create GOOD and happy memories! Why do we live here? My husband is attending the university...which offers his program....and then we are OUTTA here!
I have to go to Vegas the last week of March for a conference (so no point in telling me it's no place for kids--not our choice and no, there is no one for him to stay with for a whole week) 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!
Hi there i'm Vegas Born and raised and i love it heres a couple tips... You have to see LOVE at the mirage its without a doubt the greatest show ever. Also a real fun thing to do would be to go to Red Rock Canyon its tons of fun really nice and theres lots to do (go early like 6 or 7 when its cool because it will get HOT) By the way CIRCUS CIRCUS is fun but im not gonna lie it has gotten a little ghetto in the last few years. TPC at the Canyons is really nice i'm a member hah maybe ill see you there Have a great trip
