20 Things to Do With Teens in Las Vegas (2026)

Do not index

The best things to do with teens in Las Vegas are the ones built for them, not the casino floor. Think an escape room where they crack the last lock, Omega Mart at AREA15, a ride off the top of The STRAT, and a sunrise drive through Red Rock Canyon.

This guide covers 20 ideas for kids aged 13 to 18. We picked the escape rooms Morty users rate highest, led by local independents, checked the age rules on each venue's own site, and flagged where an adult has to come along.

That last part matters in Vegas. Many venues want an adult with anyone under 16, a few go by 21, and the city has a curfew for minors. Our guide to activities to do with teenagers has more ideas that work anywhere.

Short on time? Start with these:

Best puzzle day: The Asylum: Playtime at Lost Games, west of the Strip.

Best rainy or hot day: Omega Mart at AREA15.

Best thrill: the Big Shot at The STRAT.

Best outdoor day: Valley of Fire State Park.

Top-rated escape rooms in Las Vegas for teens

Escape rooms are one of the few Vegas activities where teens lead and adults follow. Every room below is bookable on Morty and rated Very Positive by Morty users. Compare more rooms, with age guidance, on the Las Vegas escape rooms page.

Several local venues use the same rule: anyone under 16 needs an adult 18 or older in the group. Check the venue's FAQ before you plan a drop-off.

1. Survive The Asylum: Playtime at Lost Games

It is recommended for ages 13 and up, and anyone 14 or under needs an adult with them. Games start at $42 per person at the venue's location on S. Valley View Blvd.

Tip: For a gentler group night, Lost Games runs The Floor Is Lava as a public event on select Fridays at 7 p.m.

2. Escape The Swamp Thing at Monster Quest

The Swamp Thing is rated Very Positive on Morty. Monster Quest sets it in "a ransacked moonshiner's cabin from deep within the Louisiana swamps."

Spooky picks for October

Thrills and views

11. Ride the Big Shot at The STRAT

The Big Shot is a thrill ride at the top of The STRAT tower. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, and anyone 15 or younger needs a parent or guardian with them.

Skip the Happy Half Hour cabin, which is 21+. Ride at dusk to watch the Strip light up.

13. Spend a hot afternoon at Adventuredome

Adventuredome at Circus Circus is an indoor theme park under a dome. It opens at noon Monday to Thursday and runs until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

It is the easiest fix for a 110-degree day. Check the wristband prices on its site before you go.

14. Watch the canopy show and fly SlotZilla on Fremont Street

The Fremont Street Experience light show plays on the canopy at the top of every hour from 6 p.m. It is free to watch.

SlotZilla's zip line starts at $49 Monday to Thursday. Riders 13 or younger need a rider 13 or older with them. Go before 9 p.m.: on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays, unaccompanied minors cannot be in the Fremont Street Entertainment District from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

15. Swing at Topgolf Las Vegas

Topgolf Las Vegas is a big, loud hangout where nobody needs to be good at golf. Bays are shared, so a group of teens can split the cost.

Its rules say anyone under 16 must be with a guest 21 or older, and after 9 p.m. that applies to anyone under 18. Plan it as a family outing.

Desert days out

16. Drive the loop at Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon is the closest big desert park to the Strip. From October 1 to May 31, the Scenic Drive needs a timed-entry reservation between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Book your slot ahead, then let your teen pick a short scramble on the sandstone. Bring more water than you think you need.

17. Hike the red rock at Valley of Fire

Valley of Fire State Park costs $15 per car for out-of-state vehicles. It is open sunrise to sunset, except for an annual closure from December 1 to 14.

Many of its trails close each year from May 15 to September 30 because of heat, so fall is the time to go. Start early and pack lunch and plenty of water.

18. Tour Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam runs a Powerplant Tour at $25 for adults and $15 for ages 4 to 16. Parking is $10 per car.

Visitors must be over 16 to tour alone. Tour schedules change, so check the official page for this week's status before you drive out.

Museums for the photo roll

19. See old Vegas signs at The Neon Museum

The Neon Museum keeps the city's retired casino signs. Daytime admission starts at $25, and evening admission starts at $35. Fall evening hours run until 11 p.m., and summer hours differ.

Go after dark. The lit signs are the photo your teen came for.

20. Cool off at Springs Preserve

Springs Preserve is a museum and garden campus a short drive from downtown. It is open Thursday to Monday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tickets are $18.95 for adults and $10.95 for ages 3 to 17. It is a calm morning before a loud afternoon.

A one-day Vegas plan with teens

Morning: drive the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive with a timed-entry slot, and be back by lunch before the heat.

Afternoon: an escape room at Lost Games or Monster Quest, both off the Strip.

Evening: the High Roller at dusk, then Omega Mart at AREA15, out before 10 p.m.

Save Valley of Fire and Hoover Dam for a separate day, since each takes a long morning.

Final thoughts

Vegas with a teen works best when you plan around the age rules, not against them. Pick one escape room they choose, one desert morning and one night at AREA15, and they will not miss the casinos at all.
