While Las Vegas’ reputation as Sin City certainly gives the impression that only adults can have a great time here, that’s so far from the truth. If you’ve found yourself in this desert oasis with your whole family, check out these all-ages adventures that are sure to please everyone.
Surely, the kids won’t stop talking about this crazy supermarket in Vegas with all these hidden passageways and strange items that they saw while scrolling on TikTok. That’s Omega Mart (meow.wf/lvm), an immersive art attraction that fronts as a grocery store, but quickly reveals itself for not being quite what it seems. This is a choose-your-own-adventure experience; teens and adults might enjoy following the mysterious storyline of Dramcorp, the fictional company behind this nonsensical land, while small humans will have so much fun frolicking from room to room, playing interactive games and finding hidden secrets. And for the adults, there’s a speakeasy hiding in plain sight in this attraction that serves some of the most imaginative drinks in the Valley.
To get to Omega Mart, guests must first enter through AREA15 (area15.com), a massive entertainment complex full of attractions, many of which can be considered irresistible to people of all ages. Think axe throwing, virtual reality games, an indoor zipline, a barcade and much more. So why not make a day out of this excursion and buy an AREA15 Experience Pass, a budget-friendly bundle option that grants access to all the fun this hub has to offer? Purchase a level three pass or higher to bundle admission to Omega Mart with all kinds of activities.
Thanks to pop culture and social media, it’s probably no secret to most kids that a Vegas vacation usually involves some late-night adventures. Find an age-appropriate after-dark soiree at The Neon Museum (702.387.6366), which currently only operates from 8 p.m. to midnight. Wander through this city’s glowing history when you visit the main collection in the Neon Boneyard, or add on the 45-minute Brilliant! Jackpot light show, which brings some of the most iconic pieces of signage history to life in the north gallery.

Escape the scorching heat of the desert to a medieval fantasyland when you score tickets to Tournament of Kings (702.597.7600) at Excalibur. You’ll toast tankards, pound on tables and devour your own Cornish game hen (among other handheld food items), all while rooting for the knight in shining armor who represents your section of the theater. Every member of your clan will be ecstatic as kingsmen on horseback compete in thrilling competitions like jousting and hand-to-hand combat, but don’t get too comfortable, as an evil force is amok.
Catch the curiosity of kiddos and adults at another distant locale: Discovering King Tut’s Tomb—The Experience (kingtutvegas.com), which is situated—very fittingly—inside the atrium of a pyramid (Luxor). Featuring an array of replicas of ancient Egyptian items, this exhibit not only displays the findings of Howard Carter, but paints a complete picture of what life was like in the bygone society. Immersive and interactive elements like a virtual reality adventure make this exceptionally engaging for children, while insightful video elements and placards offer an in-depth experience for the historically curious.
For families with particularly young children, it might be hard to find a show that keeps their attention. Luckily Popovich Comedy Pet Theater (702.260.7469) at Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood will do just that. Gregory Popovich, his family and his menagerie of house pets put on a fascinating, funny and touching show with lightning-fast skits, perfect for short attention spans.
