For 50 years, up until the early 1990s, the name Las Vegas was synonymous with adult entertainment. It existed for one reason and one reason only: Gambling. Las Vegas city attempted to remake itself as a family destination by adding roller coasters, animal attractions, and arcades to its predominantly adult lineup. The strategy didn't really take, as an explosion of topless shows and after-hours nightclubs over the past two or three years would seem to indicate.
But the legacy of Las Vegas' family "experiment" lingers: fabulous theme hotels such as the Luxor, New York-New York, the Venetian, the Aladdin, and Paris Las Vegas, as well as amusement parks such as Wet 'n Wild and the Adventuredome provide a minivacation's worth of excitement -- no slot machines or blackjack tables required.
