You have to drive a ways out into the suburbs to find nicer neighborhoods. But, if you only stay in the touristy areas, there is a lot of fun to be had, for both adults and families. I think of it less and less as \"Sin City\" with each visit. It's nice they got rid of the smut promoters slapping brochures into people's hands. Shopping has really exploded in this city from the many outlet malls to the high-end boutiques on the Strip. \nA few things I'd like to change..\n-Hotel pool hours need to be more family friendly rather than closing so early.\n-I wish they'd stop with the ever-rising \"resort fee\" BS at the hotels.\n-I wish entertainment shows had family discounts.\n-I miss the discounts and coupon books of the old days, RIP $3.99 prime rib & $0.99 shrimp cocktails, you will be missed always."^^ .
