Las Vegas: neon lights and family thrills

After days of temples and mountains, the kids were thrilled by the neon spectacle of Las Vegas. We strolled past the Bellagio fountains, rode the roller coaster at New York–New York and indulged in an all‑you‑can‑eat buffet. It was a jarring but fun re‑entry into the U.S.

Family travel tip: Choose smoke‑free attractions, pick one or two casino resorts to explore and plan evening activities like fountain shows or family‑friendly performances.
