The Adventuredome At Circus Circus

If you are bringing your kids to Las Vegas and want to keep them entertained the big Strip hotel pools and small arcades will keep them entertained for a while but then what? Well one option is Circus Circus with its free midway performances and large arcade inside upstairs. Another option at Circus Circus is the Adventuredome Theme Park which is located in the pink glass dome next to the hotel. The indoor theme park used to charge per ride but now you can get an all day ride pass with discount coupons often found in the free Las Vegas magazines. The main ride here is a double corkscrew roller coaster which doesn’t compare to rides at Six Flags for example but is still a fun ride. The small theme park also has a merry go round and some slower rides for the young ones. A 4D movie theater and an arcade can also be found under the pink dome, this place won’t keep the kids amused for ever but it will for a few hours.

The Roller Coaster At NYNY

The Stratosphere Las Vegas gets all the attention for thrill rides in Las Vegas but there is a roller coaster right on the Strip at the New York New York resort. The roller coaster may not be as huge as some in a Six Flags park but it’s still quite a ride; the coaster lifts you up 203 feet and then drops you down 144 feet with a speed of 67 mph and also features a barrel roll. Tickets for one ride are $14 but a better deal is a $25 Scream Pass which is an all-day ride pass and includes $2 off a 5x7 photo. Other packages include a $60 family package for four which includes two 5x7 photos most likely showing you scared to post on your wall at home. On one trip to Las Vegas I did see a couple getting married on the roller coaster and if you are so inclined you can too because nothing says commitment more than getting married at 67 mph as the coaster twists and turns. The ceremony can take place during a 15 minute ride with a morning ceremony costing $600 and an evening ceremony costing $700. Hours for the ride are 10:30am to midnight but weather such as high winds can close the ride at times also you have to be 54" to ride the coaster.
