This is until the Railroads of Senator William Clark was auctioned in 1909 and established the region as the new Clark County. Finally, on the year 1911, Las Vegas became an incorporated city and became the seat of Clark County.

At current, it holds many titles for different people. It is famously known as the wedding capital, entertainment capital, casino capital of the world, and thus, Las Vegas is also known as Sin City because most of the vices are found here.

Hence, the rich landscape of Las Vegas makes it a place where tourists not only go for gambling, shopping, and entertainment. There are also several parks in the area. Where in, you can actually do some outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, and even skiing!

The city has remained for too long a hidden gem, but no longer. Below, find the top hidden gems in Las Vegas for kids.

1) AMAZING NATURE TOURS. Las Vegas for Kids it’s not only the city itself, but also the surrounding areas such as Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Grand Canyon ranks as the best among Las Vegas family tours. Your kids will enjoy the low flying helicopter tours. Not to worry! The flights are air-conditioned, secure and enclosed. The flight takes you over the desert to the Grand Canyon West Rim and over the Colorado River and Hoover Dam. You will enjoy amazing aerial views.

2) STATE AND NATIONAL PARKS. Just a few minutes away from Las Vegas lies Red Rock Canyon, one of the Mojave Desert’s most beautiful areas. You can go sightseeing and take photos along the way. You may find Indian roasting pits and petroglyphs. You can also visit the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, a working ranch nestled at the base of the dramatic Wilson Cliffs. This Las Vegas family attraction will take you to a journey from Calico Hills and finally to Willow Springs. It’s definitely a must-see.

3) MAGIC SHOWS. Shows are among the top kids’ attractions on the Strip. A Las Vegas family vacation would not be complete without attending at least one of them. There a number of fantastic magic shows such as Lance Burton, the Greatest Magic Show at the Greek Isle Hotel and the Mac King Comedy show.

It goes without saying that you will usually get a discount hotel rate in Las Vegas if you plan and book your vacation well in advance. However, planning a last-minute Vegas trip doesn’t mean that youMUST pay top prices. It is, in fact, very easy to find discount Las Vegas hotel rooms with a little pre-planning.

Another way you can maximize your Vegas vacation dollars is by taking a little time to research getting a cheap airfare to Las Vegas and special Las Vegas flight deals.

If you are prepared to put in a little effort you can find cheap deals. Thankfully the Internet makes that task very easy.

Before you even sit down in front of a computer and make a booking it is important to note the best times to visit Vegas.

November, December and January are known to be the quieter times to visit. Other times of the year when you will get the best prices are weekdays which are usually half weekend prices, two weeks before Christmas, in the middle of summer and August and December.

The easiest way to find out whether Vegas is “sold out” when you want to vacation there contact the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority on 702-892-0711.

Decide how long you want to stay there for. Many hotels offer lower room rates the longer you stay.

Many of the downtown casinos and hotels are cheaper than accommodation on the Strip.

Look out for hotels offering a free night if you stay for three or more nights there.

Check to see if your planned trip coincides with any major conventions or popular events, etc, on at the same time. If a convention is on at the same time it could be impossible to find a room. Some conventions have attendees of more than 50,000.

As much as possible try and plan your Vegas trip well ahead to get the best rates. Most hotels have an incredible 90 percent occupancy rate with 63 percent of visitors booking at least two weeks in advance. As over 35 million people visit Vegas every year, you really have a lot of competition with other travellers if you are inflexible about precisely when your vacation in Vegas will be.

It is advisable to buy a travel guide for Las Vegas before you go so that you are familiar with all there is to see and do in Las Vegas and are aware how far everything is from one another. For example, casinos may look very close to one another in a car but on foot you could spend most of a day travelling between all of them. Also, consider enjoying many activities not actually on the Strip and right in Vegas for something a little out of the ordinary.

Airline prices also fluctuate over a 24 hour period believe it or not so it’s important to check airline prices throughout the day and even after you book to see if you can get cheaper flight to Vegas. Also consider looking at what airline deals there are the day before and after you plan to travel.

I’ve just done an experiment and I just saved an amazing $544.00 planning a discount Las Vegas vacation. It really shows how much money can be saved by spending time doing a few minutes research planning your holiday.

I went looking for the best Las Vegas hotel and air deal that I could find in under 10 minutes on the internet.

Here is a rundown of what I managed to do in under 10 minutes and how I saved $544.00.

I started off at one prominent Las Vegas website and got the following deal: Depart two adults San Antonio 30 September 2006, depart Las Vegas 6 October 2006; accommodation at Harrah’s hotel and flight included $776.50 per person – a total of $1553.00.

I then went to the Harrah’s website and it gave me accommodation for two adults for the same dates as above for a total of $1110.00, and that doesn’t include the flight price. That’s $550 per person just for accommodation at Harrah’s alone.

I then went to another website recommended in The 2006 Guide To Cheap Discount Vegas Vacations and it gave me a total cost for flight and Harrah’s accommodation of $593.50 per person (flight and accommodation included) for a total of $1187.00

I then went to another travel website and it gave me a total cost for flight and accommodation of $503.19 per person for a total cost of $1106.38.

If I had booked my vacation at the first website I went to I would have paid $544.00 more than I needed to pay.

In 10 minutes I managed to save an INCREDIBLE $544.00 ($272 per person) planning a Las Vegas vacation package.

All budget travellers can save that kind of money by using the same travel websites and travel search engines that I used to plan your Las Vegas vacation. With a little research and time any traveller to Las Vegas can save hundreds of dollars on their Las Vegas vacation.

It’s not every day that anyone can earn $544.00 in 10 minutes so what are you waiting for?
