| - For those that just cant leave their kids when they go to Vegas, the Adventuredome is a nice alternative from the adult oriented theme of the strip. This place is the closest thing to a decent theme park that Vegas has to offer.
When you come here, you have two options. Pay for rides separately or get the all day ride pass. If you are in no rush and have no time constraints, the all day pass is ideal. Depending on the height of your kids is what determines just how much cash you gotta dish out.
Now the height requirements and pricing can be quite confusing so here's the breakdown.
All riders 33 inches and over must have a ride ticket or pass. For those kids that are between 33 and 47 inches, they need the junior pass, which is 16.95. For those that are 48 inches and taller, then they need the regular pass which is 26.95.
Just remember, if you have little ones under 33 inches, they can ride with you (the adult) for free on the kiddie and family rides.
The passes cover everything except for Miniature Golf, Laser Maze (not to be confused with Laser Tag) Extreme Rock Climbing and Extreme Bungee. You can usually tell if its covered or not judging by the line. If there is nobody or hardly anybody in line, its obvious that its not covered cuz most people dont wanna spend any more money than they want to since they already took a hit on passes earlier.
So if you do the math, the premium rides are 8 bucks each. All the other rides are 5 bucks. This includes large, family, and kiddie rides. You are gonna end up spending about the same amount for 3 rides. Only difference is, with the pass its unlimited. So to me its a no brainer.
Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 11 am to 6 pm.
Friday and Saturday 10 am to midnight.
Sunday 12 pm to 9 pm.

As for their rides, they have a mix of everything for all ages and if I wanted to describe each one of them, this review will be way too long. You will just have to experience them for yourself. Rule of thumb, if it spins and goes upside down, and you know your how your tolerance level is for nausea, then ride at your own discretion.
Some of the things I like about this place is that its an indoor covered domed park, its air conditioned, and best of all its smoke free. (as it should because duh, its geared for kids).
In December of this year, they are slated to finish construction on a new roller coaster called El Loco. Im not sure if this will replace the Canyon Blaster but for sure its gonna take the place of the water ride which it already has been removed.
As for the dislikes that earned its 3 star rating: I noticed they don't have enough benches all through out the park. Us old folk gotta be able to sit down and take a breather or two every now and then. As expected, the food they have here is mediocre and overpriced. You have somewhat better options going out of the dome to the outer eating establishments for food that is a step higher in quality but the same in being overpriced.
So compared to other ride themed places like Buffalo Bills Hotel and Casino, which is a 45 minute drive south on the I-15 in the city of Primm, Stratosphere Hotel and Casino ( they only have three rides), and New York New York Hotel and Casino (their only roller coaster which is called the Manhattan Express), the Adventuredome is actually a good deal.
