Circus Circus Las Vegas boasts of being the most kid friendly hotel in Las Vegas. With its big top attitude and its indoor amusement park it very well may be. In addition to being the most kid friendly hotel on the Las Vegas strip Circus Circus Hotel is also the fifth largest hotel in the world. Of course this is at the moment and that is subject to change at any time.

The beauty of this particular hotel doesn’t lie so much in its size or even the circus like atmosphere. The charm lies in the fact that it was something new and relatively untried along the Vegas strip. Rather than build to suit the gamblers they were hoping to attract, this particular hotel was wise enough to offer something new and untried by appealing to families with children rather than solely to gamblers.

The gamble seems to be paying off in a city that is known for both its hits and its misses. Other hotels and casinos are also working to cultivate the family friendly image that Circus Circus has basically proven. Not only did this hotel build The Adventuredome Theme Park they also decided to make accommodations even more family friendly by accommodating RVs at the Circusland RV Park. This offers a great place for families to stay that might not otherwise grace the theme park, hotel, or the casino.

Don’t forget that there is a casino involved and that is the primary purpose of this gigantic hotel, resort, and theme park. The casino makes the expense of building it all very much worthwhile and brings in big business of its own each and every day. In grand Vegas style there is also the requisite onsite shopping and of course full service of wedding options in addition to a wedding chapel and banquet facilities in which to hold the reception of your dreams. The shopping at Circus Circus offers everything from ultra exclusive boutique shops and salons to stores such as Under $10 and the trading Post, which offers fad jewelry and other kid friendly gifts.

This hotel has a somewhat unique concept that sets it apart from the many others along Vegas’ strip. If you are traveling to Vegas with the family I very much recommend at least checking them out and comparing prices and packages with the other hotels and resorts in the area. Keep in mind that comps are like money in the bank particularly when they involve food or activities that you were planning to do even without the comps. So you may be able to negotiate a much better deal even if you’re paying a couple more dollars a night by having free parking, complimentary meals, or tickets to events, shows, or attractions.

Now we’re on to my favorite part of the discussion. Dining options. Circus Circus does not disappoint when it comes to offering variety to its guests. In addition to The Steakhouse, there is The Garden Grill, Mexitallia, Pink Pony, Circus Buffet, Pizzeria, Westside Deli, and Barista Caf. The food offerings accommodate varying budgets and familial needs by offering some kid friendly dining choices to visitors and guests as well. The good news however is that if these restaurants aren’t appealing to you there is another hotel, casino, or restaurant next door that has different fare to offer.

If you are looking for a great place to stay in Las Vegas along with the family there are very few hotels that will offer the overall environment of fun and wonder that you will find at Circus Circus. In addition to the wonderful rooms, the great food, the casino, and The Adventuredome Theme Park you will find that the shows here are as kid friendly and entertaining for the entire family as the atmosphere in general. This is a great vacation destination anywhere. Considering the fact that it is in Las Vegas and it is very nearly the perfect vacation retreat for those with children.

More and more people today are turning to the attraction of purchasing rental homes or time shares. The advantage to this, of course, is always having a place to stay when you decide to come into town, and you can even make a few extra pounds renting it out the eleven months out of the year that you are not using it. If Las Vegas is your home away from home, maybe it’s time you considered a vacation home.

A Vegas Vacation Home Can Be a Sound Investment

Think about how many times you travel to Las Vegas in a year. If it’s more than a few, think about how much money you have spent on hotels. If you have the means – and most people visiting Las Vegas more than a few times a year probably do – a vacation home can be a sound investment. The real estate in Las Vegas is prime territory because it is the busiest and most popular tourist destination in the United States.

Most individuals who own property there don’t actually live in it. They rent it out to tourists on vacation and stay in it every once in a while. So why should you pay any more money into a hotel than you already have when you can own a piece of Sin City and make a little money yourself.

To find a good vacation home in Las Vegas, decide whether you want one on the strip, above the strip or outside of it. None of these places will be very inexpensive to purchase, which is why this is only a real possibility if you have quite a bit of savings or are just wildly successful. Once you find what you are looking for and the transaction is complete, you are the proud owner of a Las Vegas vacation home. Now what are you going to do with it?

Hiring a Property Management Service to Do the Work for You

If you own a vacation home that you visit maybe four or five weeks out of the year, this means it can be a revenue producing commodity for the remaining 47 weeks! However, unless you want to deal with the day-to-day functions of running a rental company, you would be much better off hiring a management service to do the work for you.

They will list your property among all of the other Las Vegas vacation homes and manage the nightly and weekly rentals that come in and out. It’s not a bad deal for you or the renters. Most of the time the rates will be less than a hotel, and you will still make more than enough to pay the mortgage, the rental company and have a little left over for yourself.

OK, so buying a whole vacation home in Las Vegas is not really a possibility for the normal person. How can you own a little piece of Sin City and have a vacation home to escape to several times a year?

Timeshares are for people just like you. A timeshare is essentially when a group of people come together and purchase a property (through the help of a management company) and each person or family gets to stay there certain times of the year as they coordinate through the company. It’s less expensive than buying property on your own and can still save money over hotels if you use it enough. Whether you plan to rent or buy, Las Vegas vacation homes are the smart move for the regular traveler.

Have you ever though about cheap holidays to Las Vegas? You may think Las Vegas is no place to spend a family holiday, but what you might not know is it has many things for families to do and see. There are museums, roller coasters and theme parks as well as the famous laser sky show in the old city of Las Vegas. You will find activities for the kids, free attractions and rides for all ages. The best thing about cheap holidays in Las Vegas is the Las Vegas power pass that allows you access to twenty popular attractions in Vegas that includes a tour of Hoover Dam.

At the Flamingo, you can visit the wildlife habitat. If there are little cubs at the time, you can even have your picture taken with the little ones climbing on you. This is something so exciting for everyone. The Imperial Palace has a huge collection of cars from all years, makes and models. You might also enjoy the motion rides at the Excalibur. These rides are spectacular and you feel like everything is so real. If you think that sound fun, the aquarium and fountain shows at Caesars Palace and Silverton are something for everyone to see.

The conservatory and fountain show at the Bellagio are extraordinary while the Stratosphere has that well-known roller coaster. If you visit the MGM Grand, you will see the lions and their cubs if they are around. These are all on the strip, if you venture off the strip, you can see seven different museums, Botanical Park, ice arena, chocolate factory and the rock-climbing center. You will also want to see the Richard Petty driving experience. That is a thrilling ride. If you need more adventures to keep you busy, venture outside of Las Vegas.

Not only is there Hoover Dam, but you might find yourself headed towards Death valley National Park or Bonnie Springs by Old Nevada. Grapevine Canyon is extraordinary to see by Laughlin and if the time is right, you might take the family to Las Vegas Ski resort for some snowboarding and skiing. On particular place that is a site to see is Lake Mead. Many people forget about all the things outside Las Vegas that are close by. Not all of your cheap holidays have to center around Las Vegas when you know where the other hot spots are located.

One might think that cheap holidays, Las Vegas and family vacations do not come in the same package, but they do. You can find packages that have hotel accommodations, airfare and some passes to the attractions in the area. If you plan your trip accordingly, you might even see some holiday spectaculars. Whether you are on the strip or off the strip, you are going to have fun. Explore a city that has more to offer than just the casinos and gambling. You will have a great time with the family and no one will believe you did not spend the entire time in the casinos, so take plenty of pictures to show what you found in Las Vegas.
