Notes
From Frommers:

From Las Vegas go southeast on I-515.
I-515 turns into US-93. Continue on US-93 until you reach the Dam. A 459-space parking garage is adjacent to the Visitor Center. The parking garage charges a $7.00 fee.

Hoover Dam does not have a street address. Those who want to use an internet map service should try one that allows input of landmark names instead of a street address.

Upon Arrival at the Visitor Center

Parking and access to the Visitor Center is most convenient from the parking garage on the Nevada side of the Dam. Oversized vehicles, recreational vehicles, and vehicles with trailers will need to use the parking lots on the Arizona side of the Dam. From the parking garage walk toward the Dam. A short distance from the parking garage you will find both an escalator and elevator that will take you down to a reception lobby where you can purchase your tickets. All visitors are required to go through security screening when entering the Visitor Center.

Funny about the Bellagio not letting children in, I was there 2 months ago with my little ones, and we had no problem...Bellagio is a great hotel, and parents don't be afraid of the saying "Vegas is no place for kids" you would be amaze how many parents you see with their children...

Your trip sounds fantastic!I'm kinda 50/50 with bringing children to Las Vegas, but only because I've been there so many times, I wonder if its really something that would be fun for child. I can bet some of the parents living in Vegas don't let their children go to the strip because of some of the adult happenings. But there are several things for them to do. Circus Circus is great! And so is the Excalibur. I'm pretty sure the parents know what is best for their children.

We are planning our Spring Break to include Las Vegas this year. We are bringing a 10 year old girl and 12 year old boy. We've been to Vegas before and see no harm in taking them to "appropriate" venues. Kudos to Courtney and "Dad" (sorry I didn't get your name.) It's also nice to hear the perspective of a family that looks like mine for a change. We're really looking forward to it. Thanks!
