    Hi I'm taking my 8 year old and just wondered the rules on eating out. How late can we go out to eat. We have a late flight getting in so would like to eat something decent before settling down for the night. I'm just wondering if it differs to the UK. I don't mean 10pm late. I've been to vegas a lot but before I had my daughter, I'm going for something specific but want to do things with her too.

    • @Badstu
      @Badstu 7 місяців тому

      Hi, it depends where you are staying but most places have food halls now with some decent options. If you are going more high end then you can take kids in the restaurants no probs but it will cost you an Arm and a leg. There is plenty to do for an 8 year old, she will have a blast. If you let me know where you are thinking of staying I can be more specific but off the top of my head, the tournament of kings at Excalibur, the play area at Luxor, the aquarium at mandalay and the fun dungeon at excalibur. More mid strip there is the museum of illusions. Anyway if you give me an idea of roughly where you are staying I can give you more info

      @@sharonperry6208 That's Perfect !! The South end is definitely more kid friendly. There are some good food options in the "New York area" and it is great to walk round and away from the casino, upstairs from there you have an arcade if your kid likes video games too and the roller coaster if she meets the height requirements. There is the bridge that links to MGM (which doesn't have much for kids but does have the monorail station if you want to get the tram up to the North end of the strip for a look round Circus circus and the posh places like Wynn and Fontaine Bleu. Another bridge walkway takes you over to the Excalibur where there is loads for kids, the 4D cinema, The Tournament of Kings, The fun dungeon and of course its a castle !! From there you can go the indoor walkway to Luxor where the play area is and Mandalay Bay where the Aquarium is. She will LOVE IT !!!

    You’re certainly right about gambling while solo. It can get away from you pretty quickly if you’re not careful. $300 at $2.50 a press could easily be gone in 10 minutes. I’ve done it! If you keep vlogging you’ll find that there are always other vlogging community people to hang out with while you’re there. That really helps to control the gambling. Bonus is that they’re all great people!
