What else besides shows is there to do and see at Las Vegas when you are 18 at night?|105903

I will be going to Las Vegas with a couple of older friends. But i am 18 and will turn 19 by the time we go. So what else besides watching shows is there to do at night?

Obviously as the hour gets later, the number of things available for someone under 21 get fewer, but, there are still many things for you to do!

Rides are always a big hit. There are roller coasters at the New York, New York, Circus Circus, at the _speed_ roller coaster at the Nascar Cafe at the Sahara. The top of the Stratosphere has a number of really cool rides if it_s not too windy. Big Shot is one of the coolest things I have ever ridden!

Speaking of Nascar... that cafe at the Sahara is pretty darn cool. The cyber speedway would be a heck a lot of fun if you had some friends that were into it!

If cars are your thing, there is an incredible collection of them located at the Imperial Palace...

Do you like Star Trek? (Most people don_t), but if you fall into the catagory of sci-fi fan who does, the Las Vegas Hilton is an easy place to burn a few hours with Star Trek Experience...

There are ton_s of arcades and gamerooms too. Gameworks is a personal fav...

All of these exhibits and shows can _add up_, so if money is a big factor, then maybe _free_ stuff to see would be better. Even though you can blow through cash pretty easily in Vegas, they are also the king of free things to see. From the Fountains at the Bellagio to the Freemont Street Experience... take your pick. Here is a pretty comprehensive list. Not everying is appopriate for under 21 and not everything is at night, but there is alot to choose from...

And, of course, FOOD! As you travel the city looking at things, keep your eyes peeled for low priced Buffets and Meal Deals. Prime Rib dinners are a personal favorite of mine! The buffet at Harrah_s is well worth it too. Just be prepared to stand in line a bit for that one.

Walking from place to place will burn lots of time and can be tiring, but walking will give you the chance to see things you probably never thought of, nor have I mentioned here. Just stay in well lighted public areas on the main strip. A block or two the wrong direction and Vegas can get dark and scary in a hurry, especially late at night.

Walking not your thing? Busses run all night and are pretty reasonable. The Vegas Monorail is also a good way to make it from one end of the strip to the other and it_s kind of fun to ride. All day and extened passes are available. Just don_t try to cheat the system by handing passes to a friend, the system is too smart for that and you_ll get caught!

If you have money to burn, then the the sky_s the limit, quite literally...75$ will get you the flight of your life...

So, okay, if I haven_t bored you to death, hopefully I have given you a few ideas! Vegas is a cool town. I_ve been there many times, for many reasons. I was even married in Vegas. But at 19, I_d avoid that one!

Cheers

You_re welcome. Thanks for picking my answer!

New York, New York has a huge arcade and a really fun roller coaster. But my favorite thing has been just to walk up and down the strip people watching or seeing the huge light show on Freemont Street. And in the basement of Binions, in the coffee shop, at least a year ago, they offered a $5,99 steak dinner.

You can blow most of an evening at one of the big buffets if you have good company. In front of Treasure Island, a couple times per evening there is a big free show. Just staring at the overwhelming in Caesar_s Palace is a great think to look at and the canals in the Venetian. And at a big hotel_s swimming pool, the babe watching on a hot evening can be a wonder to behold.

if you drink, get them to get some alcohol and drink it in the room.
walk around the strip drunk and see where that takes you! haha

if you are a risk taker, play some slots. when i went, they never carded! a security guard even stood right behind me watching me play video blackjack.. and didn_t ask anything!

but that_s just me, i had a great time going with my older friends.

although being 21 could help so much more because of the clubs and not having to worry about being carded

You can see a movie, go to Adventure Dome Circus Circus (indoor amusement park), Shark Reef, ride the three rides 101 stories on top of Stratosphere, ride Scream rollercoaster at NYNY, enjoy a buffet, or leave the Strip and go to Orleans or South Point for movie and bowling. The major portions of the entertainment are for people 21 plus. Sorry

These three venue offer SOME shows for 18 _ older.
The Joint (Inside the Hard Rock Hotel Casino)
House of Blues (Inside Mandalay Bay)
Jillians (Downtown)
[ Kind of a gaming place like Dave _ Buster_s]

You are allowed to watch these adult shows:
Cirque_s Zumanity (over 18)
Chippendales, The Show (Rio All-Suite) (over 18)
- You just can_t drink afterwards.

My kids grew up in Vegas so I know a little. They liked to go bowling and play pool. There a few pool halls in Vegas and more bowling alleys. For instance at the Rio, they have Lucky Strike Lanes. Other hotels have them too.

You can to Malibu Grand Prix. It_s off the 95 freeway and Lake Mead. There_s an arcade there too.

Honestly, I know this is not what you want to hear, but you should def wait until you are 21 to go. All your friends are older? They are going to be able to party and you wont. The experience is awesome, but only if you are of age...I would wait?

Other than shows there_s a few underage clubs. It_s kind of lame but Circus Circus has a midway with carnival games.

I always have fun sneaking into places. At Mandalay Bay try getting into Mix Night Club. Or at Ceasers its easy to get into their club from outside. lol im only 17

My favorite thing to do is stand in front of the Belagio (or any other hotel/casino) and just watch all the drunk people walk/limp around. haha

strip club.

well see if u want to have fun give a hotel party
