Las Vegas with Teenagers
Las Vegas isn’t usually the first place you consider for a family vacation but as the kids get older, we find ourselves looking for new and different things to see and do as their interests evolve into other activities. Our regular school life is filled with sports – football and rugby, most notably and the last couple of years has included a lot more practices and games to enjoy (and familiarize ourselves with! 

The last time we were in Vegas was in 2018, and we were looking for family fun with kids. Now, as teenagers, interests have evolved and I’ve been looked at new experiences to enjoy that continue to be unique and memorable. Las Vegas has been the “Entertainment Capital of the World” but it is quickly working on its way to become the “Sports Capital of the World”. 

Some of the neat experiences we enjoyed include the following:
1. Experience the electrifying energy of Raider Nation
 
Las Vegas welcomed a new NFL team and invested 1.9 billions dollars and built a brand new stadium opened in 2020. Allegiant Stadium is a brand new, state-of-the-art stadium that provides a unique sports experience that can only be expected from a city like Las Vegas. ​

As it turned out, the first pre-season Las Vegas Raiders NFL football game was taking place during our travel dates so we took the opportunity to take in an NFL Football game in Vegas. Enjoying a football game itself is a fun past time but anyone watching NFL football understands that the fandom in the sports world is something else so watching an NFL football game live is an electrifying experience!

The Raiders, if you are somewhat familiar with their history, have previously been in Oakland, and Los Angeles, but moved to Las Vegas, where they were welcomed with open arms never having NFL football in its city before. With a brand new facility to house them, Allegiant Stadium is their new home, promising to bring the enthusiasm and energy to sports and football to fans from all over who come to experience what the Vegas sports experience can be. 

The spirit of the silver and black is pretty infectious, and you can even get a custom-designed jersey as a souvenir. We chose #88 as only as a lucky number, because that was Everett's first assigned number when he started playing football and he had a pretty phenomenal first year.

2. Experience the Magic behind the Scenes at Allegiant Stadium.

VIP like a rockstar and check out how the VIP's experience an NFL football game as you go back stage with an in depth tour of Allegiant Stadium! 

Less than 24 hours from yesterday's game, we went through the Allegiant Stadium Tour and witnessed the magic of transforming the field from football to get concert-ready for an upcoming event.

3. Soar high above the skies for a spectacular view.

Maverick Helicopters offer helicopter rides in and around the Las Vegas area for a fun and unique experience. Our ride toured The Strip so we could witness the spectacular views from above. Unfortunately, the evening of our ride was raining so the photos don't capture the experience well, but it is a neat and different experience to enjoy for sure!

Some iconic view include Allegiant Stadium, The Strip, and the new Sphere, opening at the end of September this year, with U2 headlining the official opening for the venue for an extraordinary experience for your senses unlike anything you have seen before.

4. All You Can Eat! 

Las Vegas is also home to the "All-You-Can-Eat" Buffet and you cannot visit Vegas without experience one of their world-class buffets! You can enjoy affordable options at Luxor, Excalibur and MGM Grand around $30 per person or splurge on something more indulgent at Bellagio, Caesar's Palace or the Wynn Resorts for $50-70 per person. 

Another option is to head off the Strip to Chinatown where we enjoyed an All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ for just as amazing of an all-you-can-eat feast! Hanu Korean BBQ was a great place to enjoy Korean BBQ with a feast that won't break the bank!

Las Vegas is a destination that is constantly re-inventing itself and has transformed itself into a family-friendly destination and truly combining entertainment and sports into experiences for everyone of all ages. It extends itself beyond gaming and indulgence, instead now offering a perfect blend of action, adventure and entertainment. 

There is so much to see and do, stimulation for all your senses. Las Vegas is a great place for a quick getaway to escape from your reality for a change of scenery and a change of pace. There is something for everyone of all ages, and I guarantee you that Las Vegas is not the Vegas from years past. There is a lot of experience and I would love to help you plan your next getaway to Vegas!
