Summary: What do we do with our kids after we get to Las Vegas?
Review: I am the author of the 101 Things For Kids series. There were several reasons why I chose to write a book for kids (or parents) in Las Vegas. The biggest one, it is the country's fastest growing city that boasts a projected volume of over 32 million visitors this year. These visitors also include an estimated 8 million children. Like it or not, kids are coming to Las Vegas. My goal was to show parents what to do with their kids once they get to the city. Las Vegas can be a fun and stimulating environment for children, my book offers bountiful opportunities and options for children who are visiting or living in the city. 101 Things For Kids in Las Vegas is a comprehensive resource guide that offers many things to keep your children entertained, amused and most importantly, safe. From museums and water parks, to outdoor adventures and shows, it gives the feel of Disneyland to Las Vegas. In addition to narrative details profiling all of the kid-friendly aspects of the area, complete with hours of operation, admission prices, directions and phone numbers, there are numerous photos and maps, offering a visual guide to what children can enjoy in and around the city. All venues that appeal to children, including museums, shows, theaters, shopping, parks, outdoor recreation and libraries, are outlined, as well as restaurants and hotels offering deals for children. One of the main reasons I chose to write about Las Vegas early in the 101 Things For Kids series is because there is a huge movement of families moving into the area. So, the question is not, 'How do we get kids to Las Vegas?' the question is, "What can we do with the kids that are already here? A portion of the proceeds from each book sold will go to The Southern Nevada Chapter of the Wellness Community, a cancer-support organization. A new Las Vegas chapter is being initiated in conjunction with the book's publication. I hope you enjoy the city.

Summary: What are they talking about?!
Review: I fail to see how anyone could say this book is great. First of all if you live in Las Vegas like I do chances are the you already know the 10 things there are to do with kids here. Secondly many of the attactions are closed or have changes, the TI show is not as kid friendly as it once was, and the arcade as well as wet and wild have closed! Save your money and call the chamber of commerce they will give you all the information in this book for free!

Summary: If you have kids and are going to Las Vegas, buy this book.
Review: Las Vegas has actively cultivated family activities for the past several years. However, while adult activities are easy to find (even hard to avoid), activities more suited for young visitors have been more difficult to locate. Carol Stout has remedied that situation for us all. Her book "101 Things for Kids in Las Vegas" provides more ideas for entertaining young ones than a family could do in ten vacations. Her vacation guide is well organized, easy to read, and full of surprises. I have been to Las Vegas many times over the years. I thought I knew all the hidden treasures that Las Vegas offers for children (or even adults who have tired of the Strip). This book doubled my options. It is a great resource. I recommend you buy it

Summary: I'm sorry, folks, about the reviewer from Georgia.
Review: The "reviewer" from Georgia inadvertently tells us more about HIS Vegas inclinations. His cruel, inaccurate, and utterly pointless libel against "101 Things for Kids in Las Vegas" is a waste of time and computer resources that Amazon.com should be ashamed of. Carol Stout's book is a fine and useful directory. Wet & Wild thought enough of it to host a special book-signing event, to which KLAS-TV sent a crew to do a live news remote. Folks in Vegas are talking it up; initial reaction was uniformly positive. Best of all, part of the proceeds go to charitable cancer support services. It is telling that this "reviewer" opted to leave his name off. Bobby Gladd, Executive Director, The WREN Foundatio

Summary: Not the best read on the subject
Review: This book does a decent job of just mentioning a bunch of facts, but I found that other similar books such as Open Road Publishing's "Las Vegas with Kids" 2nd edition or even Frommer's book with the same title do a better overall job. One problem is that the edition that I received (last week) was published in 1999. The kid friendly aspects of Vegas has changed since then. Some hotels are no longer kid friendly (by choice). For example, the book speaks of the MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park as an awesome place, but it closed back in 2000. Also, the other mentioned books seem to give more advice about WHAT to do rather that just listing everything that's available. I want to know what to do and what to skip. I want advice, not just a listing of all available destinations. A chapter on suggested itineraries would have been nice. After buying this book, I found that I needed to supplement it with the other Vegas with Kids travel books.
