15 Fun Things to Do in Vegas When You’re Under 21

I’ve pulled together some of the best activities you can participate in if you are under 21. It includes a vast range of things to do, making it appealing to almost all young people. Many of these things you can enjoy doing with your friends or family on your next trip to Las Vegas.

     High Roller Observation Wheel

Taking you 550 feet into the air, you’ll be able to see the Las Vegas Valley and The Strip from the world’s tallest observation wheel, known as the High Roller. You will be placed in a spacious bubble-like cabin that gives you a 360-degree view of the area. This large wheel takes 30 minutes to make one full rotation, giving you plenty of time to see the surrounding areas.

You can purchase tickets for the observation wheel during the day or at night to get different views of the city. If you want to see The Strip lit up in all its neon glory, check out the High Roller Observation Wheel (vegas.com) at nighttime.

The more natural features of the surrounding area, such as the surrounding desert and mountain landscapes, are best observed during the day.

The High Roller is found at The Linq Promenade and is a very popular attraction. Each cabin can hold 40 people, making it an excellent time for you and a bunch of your friends. This attraction is particularly attractive during the summer as the cabins offer air conditioning. If you are a local, check for discounts!

     Bellagio Fountain Show

Arguably one of the most popular free attractions on the Strip, the Bellagio Fountain is a show you will not want to miss for a quintessential Vegas experience. The combination of water, music, and lights creates an experience in itself. Located immediately in front of the Bellagio Hotel and Resort, the choreography ties in nicely with the beautiful hotel backdrop.

With changing shows and music, there is always something new to see each time you visit. There are over 1,000 fountains that shoot water up to 460 feet in the air. Designers and choreographers have worked hard to make this an enjoyable event for all visitors to the city.

Shows go on every day and night. Here is the Bellagio Fountain schedule, so make sure you stop by:

• Monday through Friday: Every 30 minutes from 3 pm to 8 pm and every 15 minutes from 8 pm to midnight.
• Weekends & holidays: Every 30 minutes from 12 pm to 8 pm and every 15 minutes from 8 pm to midnight.

Weather conditions may cancel shows (unlikely), and schedules may fluctuate in special circumstances. But with the many opportunities to see the show, you’ll at least be able to see it once, but try to catch it both during the daytime and again at night. 

I’ve written an article detailing everything you need to know about seeing the Bellagio Fountains, including the schedule and exact song list. Be sure to take a look.

     Walking the Las Vegas Strip

Being 4.2 miles long, walking the entire length of The Strip may be more than you want to tackle (source), especially when the best action takes place within a few main areas. That being said, there are large areas of The Strip that are prime for pedestrians to walk.

With hotels, casinos, restaurants, and stores on each side of Las Vegas Boulevard, there is plenty here to keep you occupied for a long while.

The best times to walk The Strip are in the morning when it isn’t too hot or crowded yet and in the evening when all the lights turn on. The busy sidewalks and lights of at night make for great people-watching, enviable selfies, and excellent memories.

You should keep these in mind when walking The Strip:

• Wear comfortable shoes: For any activity that requires a lot of walking, you’ll want to be comfortable.
• Bring water: Because it is often warm, you should regularly drink water so you do not become dehydrated.
• Stick to the pedestrian areas: Because visitors may walk down the street with alcohol, they have created very specific sidewalks and pedestrian footbridges that prevent anyone from being in the middle of the road near cars. Stick to these areas for safety no matter the time of day.

You will want to walk through many of the Vegas hotels and casinos as you make your way down The Strip. Minors may walk through a casino’s gaming floor as long as they are not stopping or loitering. However, there is so much more going on inside the Strips resort properties than just gaming.

Make sure to walk through many of the themed hotels to see the beautiful architecture and designs within. This is also a great way to get some air conditioning and cool off if it’s hot outside.

Some of the best hotels to see on The Strip include:

• The Venetian: Transports you to Venice, Italy, without leaving the United States. Here you can ride a gondola along the indoor and outdoor canals (there’s more information about gondola rides below).
• New York-New York: Go through the “city that never sleeps” with arcades and plenty of pizza parlors.
• Bellagio: This is one of the most iconic hotels with lots of shops inside, plus a Conservatory and Botanical Garden.
• Paris: With a French theme, it is fun to walk through and see the blue skies with wispy clouds.
• Cosmopolitan: One of the more modern hotels on The Strip, check out the big chandelier and beautiful interior.

Almost all of the hotels will be impressive, but guests love visiting these for their unique themes and iconic status.

     Big Apple Roller Coaster & Arcade

If you are a fan of roller coasters and arcades, head to the Big Apple Coaster at New York-New York. The theme of the coaster is New York taxi cabs, making it a full New York City experience.

The roller coaster itself is tons of fun, but now you can also add a Virtual Reality (VR) component to the ride. You’ll ride the coaster while wearing virtual reality goggles that will make it look like you’re flying through the streets of New York City while battling aliens and monsters! It’s crazy fun!

If you plan to go on the ride multiple times during the day, I recommend checking out the all-day pass, which will save you some money instead of buying multiple tickets. (Nevada residents and military personnel can receive discounts on the ride.) After you hop off the coaster, make your way to the arcade. It’s full of games and a popular photo booth!

From high atop the roller coaster, you will catch views of The Strip and get your adrenaline fix! Head to the second level of the New York-New York hotel and casino to access the ride!

Omega Mart at AREA 15

If you like black lights and cool, trippy art displays, then you’ll absolutely want to visit AREA 15. Omega Mart is just one of a dozen or so attractions you’ll find inside. Omega Mart is a grocery store, well, kinda. Maybe a better way to describe it would be to say that it’s an immersive and mind-blowing exhibition of art that takes the form of a surreal supermarket.

You’ll have to see it to believe it. In fact, just walking around AREA 15 is more than worthwhile. The whole place is pretty wild.

Check out AREA 15 in our article: What Is AREA 15? (9+ AMAZING Things To See & Do)

     Gondola Rides at The Venetian

Step into The Venetian to be taken to the canals of Italy’s Venice. You can take a gondola ride along the Grand Canal as you pass by Venetian architecture and the shops of the hotel. It’ll take you past cafes and under bridges if you choose the indoor ride or give you views of The Strip outdoors. Both the indoor and outdoor gondola rides are enjoyable and should be dependent on preference as well as weather.

The gondolier (person who rows the boat) plays the part very well with the full outfit and singing. The ride is not super long given the price but is a cool experience that is enjoyed by visitors from around the world. If you don’t mind paying a bit of money for the experience, it is an enjoyable break from walking around!

    Shows, Shows, and More Las Vegas Shows!

While some Vegas shows require you to be 21 years old, there are many fantastic shows open to all ages. Going to a show while you’re in town is a must as we have some of the most iconic performers in the world. Many artists have residencies, meaning they will be performing for months at a time, so there are plenty of opportunities to see them.

The best shows in Las Vegas include:

• Blue Man Group: Known for their blue face paint, this is a very popular show that features music, art, and comedy. The show is held at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. The Blue Man Group is an iconic show and should certainly be on your bucket list.
• Cirque du Soleil: Enjoy the impressive acrobatics and musicality with the multiple shows that run in Vegas. Some of my favorites include “Mystére” (the original Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil production), “O” (an aquatic-inspired show), and “Love” (inspired by the music of The Beatles). There are seven Cirque du Soleil shows in the city, each with a unique theme and twist. 
• Penn and Teller: The longest-running comedy magic show in town, Penn and Teller are iconic magicians who are known to put on an eventful and entertaining show. Find out what makes a Penn and Teller (tickets) show so fun at the Rio.
• Residencies: See which of your favorite musicians and singers are going to be in town when you plan on visiting. Performers from Adele, Usher, Miranda Lambert, and Maroon 5 are performing, which creates for a memorable night.

There are so many shows to check out, making it hard to narrow down a list. Depending on the type of show you want to see, you’ll be able to find lots of excellent options.

Las Vegas is known for its excellent shopping! There are shops in all of the hotels as well as along The Strip and downtown. In the hotels, you can expect mostly high-end designer stores, but the malls and stores themselves are a feast for the eyes.

  Best Las Vegas All-Age Tours (Off The Strip Vegas Travel)

Red Rock Canyon Las Vegas

Let’s take a trip out of the city center and move our legs! Las Vegas has plenty to see indoors, but it is also in a valley that boasts some beautiful natural landscapes. Located in the Mojave Desert and still within the Las Vegas city limits, this conservation area is known for its sandstone peaks and a panoramic 13-mile scenic drive.

Surrounded by the mountains, The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (website) can be experienced on a variety of great hikes. As the name suggests, you’ll be able to experience the vibrant colors of the red rocks from either hiking trails or a leisurely drive through the park.

Make sure you have proper shoes, clothing, and water to stay hydrated. Desert settings are especially warm in the summer months, making it dangerous to be dehydrated and exercise in high temperatures.

Try to keep your hikes to the morning or before the sun goes down when the sun is not at its highest point. Spring, fall, and winter are the perfect seasons to explore the park.

Enjoy the great outdoors on your trip to Vegas in one of the coolest conservation areas in the country!

Find out much more about visiting Red Rock Canyon on your own, including directions, hikes, and stops along the way, in our article here.

You can also take an organized tour to Red Rock Canyon, where you will be picked up at a hotel on the Strip. Choose from a day of hiking and exploration, or hop on a motorized scooter to tour the park (links to Viator).

Hoover Dam

This trip will require a car, but if you have one, it’s worth it! A 45-minute drive from the resorts on Las Vegas Blvd, Hoover Dam is one of the most popular destinations in the American southwest, and it sits between the border of Nevada and Arizona on the Colorado River.

The dam is known for its innovative design, and millions of people and cars cross the dam each year. If you don’t have a car, you may want to take one of the many guided tours that visit the dam.

While there, also be sure to take a walk across the Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. The arched bridge, at a height of 886 feet, will give you a perfect birds-eye view of the Hoover Dam down in the canyon below.

I was surprised at how inexpensive this tour is (vegas.com). You must be 18 years or older with a valid driver’s license from any country in order to drive. Under 18 can ride, however.
