Las Vegas show good for teens
 

What Vegas show would be best to see with our two children, ages 16 and 20? Also, any other activity suggestions for this age group. Thanks.

There are two good afternoon shows: Mac King at Harrah's and a magic show at the Tropicana.

Lord of the Dance would certainly be appropriate. We (in our 30's) really enjoyed it as well.

What about Tournament of Kings, the medieval jousting show at Excalibur?

A couple of years ago we took our teens (then 14 and 16) to see the Blue Man Group at the Luxor - they loved it.

My daughter and I saw Lance Burton a couple of years ago and greatly enjoyed his show. If your kids like magic they should really enjoy this show.

We've taken our two teens to Blue Man Group, "O", and Mac King. All were hits.

They love the roller coaster at New York New York. They're a little younger and have spent a fair amount of time at Gameworks. They also enjoyed trips to Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon.

Hanging out at the pool is a favorite activity, as is eating well at a variety of restaurants.

I can heartily recommend Blue Man group or The Fab Four for teens - Lance Burton was terrific, but might skew a bit young - my 10 year old loved it! cruising through the mall at the Mandalay Bay, lunching at Border Grill, taking the monorail between the Luxor, Excalibur and MB were good day activities that would engage teens. Luxor had a pretty good arcade, too.

I vote for 'Blue Man Group' as well, but if money is tight, consider 'V - The Ultimate Variety Show', at the Venetian.

If you want to see Blue Man Group, get tix in advance. I just checked for our stay next week in April, and the only seats left were in row X, for $93!

Legends in Concert

I am suprised no one has yet mentioned Mystere. I think it is very entertaining and age appropriate. I also understand that the Scinta's show is very good but I have not seen it myself.

Other suggestion is to maybe let the roam a bit on their own if they have previous city exposure in their lives. Hour or 2 will not hurt. If you are not comfortable letting them wander the strip, perhaps the forum shops instead.

The free show at Rio is entertaining and my teenagers enjoyed it along with the "sky" parade.

Take em to the top of the Eiffel tower.

I also second the Hoover Dam idea.
