As an adult, one of the rides I felt like I was rolling while I got off the ride but even some kids I heard had the same problem haha. It's just way too expensive for what it is. If they cut the price by 12%, would be even better. Overall, the really only good place for kids to be kids.

It feels quite large but not too big. It is walkable and there are plenty of chairs everywhere. So you can sit down and relax if you have older people accompanying you. We got a game card for $100.00 and used it for a variety of different games. We played a ball game, a hoop game, a shooting game, a laser game, and even the claw machines were here. We had a child who was about seven years old and she was having a blast!

It was only a twenty minute or so walk from our hotel. Check in was easy. One of the employees was helpful in clearing up some confusions we had about how it all worked. We purchased the two-ride ticket, so we were unsure of how it worked. We opted for the American West and the Chicago ride. Both were amazing, but we liked Chicago the best. They were both about nine minutes or so, not including the pre shows. If you've ever been on the Soarin' attraction at Disney California Adventure, it's basically that, just without Disney's level of production. It was still great quality, though.

We tried the Chicago and the American West for the special deal we found online. Both were excellent. If you're afraid of heights or have vertigo, this might not be the attraction for you. It gets a bit pricey, but the experience is worthwhile. Once you're seated, the chair is all move forward and you are suspended in mid air so your legs are dangling with nothing underneath you. Pro tip: wear shoes. Staff is friendly and each time slot fills up pretty quickly so book early!

First time I ever rode it, I didn't know what I was signing up for. You hear that slow click... click... click as you climb, thinking, "Alright, how bad could this be?" Then it drops and suddenly you're questioning every life decision that led you to that seat. It's fast, it feels a little wild, almost rickety like it might toss you into the Vegas skyline, and I wasn't ready for it. Not even close. But man... what a trip. And here's the thing that ride became more than just a thrill. One of the last trips I ever took with my dad, we rode that coaster together. I didn't know at the time he was sick... didn't know he had cancer. He never told me. But I remember that ride clear as day. I was focused on grabbing one of those little souvenir keychains after, something simple. He had other plans wanted the bigger photo, something we could hold onto. At the time, I didn't think much of it. Now? That picture means everything. So every time I go back to Vegas, I ride it. No questions asked. It's tradition. And for something that looks compact tucked into the Strip, this thing punches way above its weight. It hits speeds around 67 mph, throws you through a full loop and a barrel roll, and pulls enough G-force to make you feel like a fighter pilot for a few seconds. It's one of the few coasters right on a major city strip like this, and it doesn't hold back. By the time you step off, your legs are a little shaky, your stomach's doing a reset, and yeah you're probably ready to eat something. Quick tip: don't ride it at the end of a long night. Either go in fresh or give yourself some buffer after eating. This one's got some bite. I'll be honest it's not about chasing thrills like I used to. I'm not some hardcore coaster guy. But this? This is different. This is memory, adrenaline, and tradition all wrapped into one loud, fast, unforgettable ride above Las Vegas. Ride it once for the thrill. Ride it again for the ones you remember.

It is a bit in the smaller side for an aquarium, and depending on how young or easily entertained your kids are, you may or may not be done quickly. I know my kids could probably be happy here for hours and hours though. If you aren't a local, then I'm not sure if the ticket price on top of having to pay for parking would feel worth it, but then again that is dependent on each person and what they want to do for their family. This was our first time to the shark aquarium, even though we've been living out here for about seven years, and also a first for me even going to Mandalay Bay despite visiting Vegas often before having kids and moving out here. Just from the area of walking to go to the ticket area inside, Mandalay seems very spacious and beautiful. I could even see myself spending a good amount of time with the kids just walking around in the non-casino sections.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Shark Reef. What was supposed to be a fun and…read morememorable family outing turned into a stressful and heartbreaking experience for our daughter and our entire family. We fully understood that the activity was intended for children ages 5 and up. However, staff scanned and accepted my daughter's ticket without any issue and allowed us to go through the entire process, which naturally led us to believe she was approved to participate. It wasn't until we reached the very front, after waiting and getting her excited for the experience, that staff suddenly stopped us and told her she could not participate. Having to tell a child at the last second that she was no longer allowed to join after already being checked in was incredibly upsetting. Our daughter immediately started crying and was devastated. My wife and I then had to step away to comfort and carry her while everyone else continued on. Because of how poorly this was handled, neither my wife nor I were able to enjoy the experience either. The issue is not the rule itself we respected the age requirement. The problem is the complete lack of communication and professionalism. If there was an issue with her eligibility, it should have been addressed before her ticket was scanned and before we waited through the line and built up her expectations. Instead of creating a positive family memory, this experience left us frustrated, embarrassed, and deeply disappointed. We spent time, money, and effort planning this outing only to have it ruined by poor organization and careless handling of the situation. Families deserve better communication and better treatment than this.

This classic carnival/amusement park ride has never changed since whenever the bumper car…read morerevolution began. How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital. If im not mistaken I think the overall time given to drive around is 5 minutes. Yelp 2014 365 Review Challenge #172 "Road rage starts here"

Each season is beautifully done with festive displays, lights, and decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a storybook. There's so much to do for all ages...a charming train ride through the forest, a classic carousel, the fun Avalanche Slide, and endless photo opportunities everywhere you turn. It's perfect for families, date nights, or even just a cozy night out with friends. The beer garden is a great touch for adults, while kids (and kids at heart) can enjoy hot cocoa and funnel cakes. Everything is thoughtfully laid out and keeps the energy fun and festive without feeling overwhelming. What really makes this place special is knowing that your visit supports a great cause while creating lasting memories. The staff and volunteers are friendly, and you can tell a lot of heart goes into making this event magical every year. Highly recommend making this a seasonal tradition, it's pure joy, nostalgia, and holiday spirit all in one

We came on a Tuesday evening from 6-9pm. Not crowded though we didn't get the whole site exclusively. 2. It's actually hard to find inside Luxor, we didn't see any clear signs directing us there. The only pointer I found is that it's next to the food court. 3. The staff are super fun and nice. She helped us get drink orders (you can also place your order via the bar table), get food (mostly bar type of food, think fries, burgers, sliders, chicken wings, burritos), and even showed us how to play the games. 4. The games are not super novice games, a lot of them are self explanatory after you see the setup, it's moderately physical in some of them; for example, the jump house and duck game is definitely very physical, and the bullseye jump and stick also requires a lot of jumping. But there are other quiet games like matching shapes that require more of a team building. They also have slides that gave some of our teammates a good scream in the darkness. 5. They have a balloon room for photo and a photo booth, but the prompts are not that many: "adult player", "winner", "play dirty" are the ones we saw. 6. They don't have a locker for your stuff, so try to come in comfortable clothes and bring less. CJ offered to lock up my purse in the staff room as an alternative, but I'm not sure that offers to every walk in customer. 7. Yes, a waiver is required. I couldn't get it done online for some reason as the last page didn't refresh and I was stuck in the signature page. However, they somehow had me in their system when I showed up.

The…read moreEiffel Tower replica is half the height of the real thing, but at 46 stories up, the viewing deck does afford some great views of the strip and in particular the Bellagio hotel and its fountains. I would highly recommend going after 3pm since the Bellagio runs its fountain shows every 30 minutes from then, and I believe every 15 after 7pm. And of course if you want to see the strip all lit up you'll want to wait until the evening anyway, but the views are still great regardless and there's no limit to how long you can stay up on the observation deck. It's decent value for money with tickets starting at around $25. Generally the best price is to buy from the shops or kiosks in the hotel on the day, using third party booking services usually adds a bit more to the price. The kiosks are handy, although I don't like the fact you have to enter personal information on a screen others can see. Also be aware, unlike the elevators in the Stratosphere, these are not fully enclosed, and I know for many that adds to the experience, though it's a bit claustrophobic and I struggle with that a little but am fine once at the top. The ride up and down takes about 90 seconds, and there's a guide that provides history of the tower and will answer any questions. There are also attendants at the top to assist and answer questions also.
