I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Every family needs to schedule fun adventures together. This is true whether you have a household with kids or teens that are growing up too fast, the kids are grown and living separate lives, or your family is you and either your siblings or your closest friends. Whatever family you are a part of, a fun and unique mini-vacay is just the thing to let everyone relax, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company, minus the stress and chaos of the everyday. So, families, are you ready for something a little different? Pack a bag and let your hair down; this is not just your average family getaway in Nevada.
One of the Silver State’s most well-known and visually stunning national parks is Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It is hard not to be amazed by the rich red sandstone and stunning rock formations.
You could observe from the car on a scenic drive, or venture out on one of the more than 26 hiking trails in the area, or (and I think this is the most fun choice) you could do something really unique and take a Scooter Car Tour!
From natural scenery to scenery of an entirely different kind! Everyone knows Las Vegas for its neon light and flashy signs, but have you seen where they all go to retire? The Neon Museum is a weird and wonderful attraction and a fantastic place for families to snap some super fun photos.
Now, how about a little something sweet? Every member of the family will become a kid in a candy store at M&M World, four full stories of heavenly chocolate fun.
If you were an 80s (or even early 90s) kid, this is nostalgia heaven. If not, it is an entertaining trip back in time. And the family-friendly menu is as delicious as it is totally radical.
Your family has to stay the night somewhere and we think it should be more than just a comfy bed, but a place that keeps the fun going! This four-bedroom vacation rental is not only one of the most highly-rated places to stay in the state but is a perfect stay-and-play spot for any kind of family (it sleeps 12!).
The open floor plan living space is all about entertainment. The regulation pool table also has a table tennis and air hockey setup. Not playing? Grab some drinks from the kitchen (and the chocolate you brought home from M&M World!) and plop down on the huge sectional couch to watch a movie with Bose Lifestyle surround sound.
The retro-themed game room has a regulation foosball table. Waiting players can chill at the Coca-cola bar table with a handful of goodies from the candy machines. Don’t forget to make some popcorn for the movie in the theater-style popcorn machine!
The outdoor space is almost as fun as the inside, and there is plenty of room for everyone to hang out and relax. There is even an outdoor kitchen with a gourmet gas grill and mini-fridge.
Your private waterfall pool oasis is surrounded by palm trees, as it should be, and is perfect for cooling off when the weather gets warm, or for soaking your muscles in the spa after a day of exploring.
Pack your bags for an unforgettable family-fun weekend! What do you think of this getaway? What kinds of fun or unique things would you add to the weekend? If you are ready to escape for a couple of days of fun, start by booking your rental at the House Las Vegas listing on Vrbo.
