There is a lot you can do in Las Vegas with kids! Factor in the heat and a lot of walking, but the p

We will be visiting Las Vegas from July 13th to July 20, we are traveling with three kids ages 17, 11 and 8. We were thinking of taking tour de cure a day trip to California. We have been in LA and done all the tourist things there. Any suggestions on where else we can go in California that's not too far from LV?
Agree that LV for 3 kids in midsummer makes little sense. There are so many places they can't go - any casino tour de cure - and so many places it will be too hot - basically anyplace outdoors including the pools - I can;t imagine what they will except hang around tour de cure malls.
There is a lot you can do in Las Vegas with kids! Factor in the heat and a lot of walking, but the pedestrian walkway goes in and out of the casinos rather fluidily. New York is cool with arcades. tour de cure Don't go to Excaliber (gone way downhill and is R rated!). There's a Rainforest Cafe at the MGM, M Ms store etc... At that end of the strip. Rio is beautiful and has a great buffet. tour de cure The Blue Man Group is good for families, and AAA gives discounts. The Aliante is a newer hotel with casino and a movie theater. Keep in mind, the pools can attract some rather lascivious behavior!
The only thing to do in Baker is see the thermometer and eat at the Mad Greek, which is usually crowded (and desperately need to remodel their restrooms!) You could take a side trip to LA, but leave very early in the morning tour de cure to avoid the heat, and try not to do it on a Sunday. Cheap gas at the M Hotel 12 miles towards CA (Rose off ramp?). But the drive is so long and boring!
