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.

Image 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!

Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon those are wonderful for family vacations, however, Vegas is no place for children.

Several years ago, Vegas was leaning a little on the family friendly side. It was fun for kids to go there. Now they are shaking that image entirely and with very few exceptions, there is no place in Vegas for kids. (The Bellagio will not even allow kids to come into their hotel unless they are registered guests.)
Don't be one of those fools who are standing with wide-eyed children, watching showgirls in g-strings gyrate on a stage. It's embarrassing for everyone.

I'm interested in this trip, but would like to cut it down to 5 days keeping the hoover dam and grand canyon. What can I expect it to run me?

Not a good idea to take the kids to Vegas. There's not enough to do for the little ones, and the things you want to do are not appropriate for them (gambling, shows, bars, clubs, staying up late). Best to leave them with the grandparents.

VEGAS IS NO PLACE FOR KIDS!!! I GO THERE LESS AND LESS BECAUSE, SO MANY KIDS, IT WAS FOR ADULTS AND SHOULD REMAIN THAT WAY !

I Love Vegas but don't want my kids to know such a place exists until they are at least 25
