Vegas with a 7 year old??
Is there enough to entertain a seven year old in Vegas for seven days? Which hotel/resort is fun, safe, and in the center of everything?? Do we need to rent a car?

I'm not sure about seven days. Anything is possible I guess. We went for a weekend with my son when he was nearly five. We stayed at the MGM, which had the lions and Krispy Kreme and Rainforest Cafe. He liked it a lot. Didn't try to go out of the city to the desert, or swimming, so I don't have good ideas for you there.

I can't imagine what an adult would find to do w/ seven days in LV, let alone a small child. Unless you are big time into gambling or want to spend major money seeing all of the big shows, any reason you want to stay there a full week?
LV is great for maybe 3 or 4 days max - but a week?

Rent a car for a couple of days to go to the Red Rock Canyon, Ethel M chocolate factory and cactus garden, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead. 7 days IN Vegas is too much for any age.
Depending on the weather - if not too hot - you can go to the Valley of Fire.

I've read some of you other posts and get the impression you like the outdoors. Why not fly into Vegas but then make a circle tour of the S. Rim of the Grand Canyon (N. Rim will still be closed for winter), Bryce and Zion National Parks. You would need to rent a car for this.

BTW, there is no way I would want to spend 7 days in Las Vegas on my own, much less with a 7 year old. Not with men taking a leak on the street right next to you! Other men handing out fliers to strip joints, etc.

I am getting the picture that Vegas is not exactly wholesome, it was just something I have always wanted to do. Probably better to save it for a girls weekend. I am just at a loss because most of the places I would normally want to go are either going to be too cold to too busy because of the timing. The canyons sound like a great idea and someone else mentioned San Diego. Does anyone know of a cool place, off the beaten path, outdoors (hiking, car tours), NO GOLF COURSES, but really nice? I am not asking too much right?

You are probably not asking too much but you are not giving us much to work with.
What are you looking for? Is it all about the 7 year old or the parent (s)? Going from a Vegas question to saying that you want off the beaten path is well.....confusing.
