But guess what? We&#8217;re a military family and our motto is: &#8216;Home is where the Air Force sends us.&#8217; How do you tell two teenagers that they have to leave their friends in our nice quiet community to move to &#8220;Sin City&#8221;? Well, for once, I did the right thing. I picked up Lynn Goya&#8217;s book, FUN WITH THE FAMILY LAS VEGAS and poured over the contents in one afternoon. The once crisp clear pages are now folded, marked, tabbed, and highlighted to grab the attention of my once unenthusiatic teens. Well, one month til &#8220;zero hour&#8221; and we&#8217;re ALL (myself included) actually really looking forward to checking out the great kid-friendly activities that Ms. Goya&#8217;s book introduced us to. Here&#8217;s the thing, my original plan was to avoid &#8220;the strip&#8221; at all costs &#8212; especially with the kids. However, Ms. Goya took me by the hand (well, it felt like that while I was reading it) and showed me each kid-friendly spot that &#8220;the strip&#8221; has to offer. Anyone for Laser Tag at Circus Circus? Uh, sign me up! Of course, you&#8217;ve got the Venetian and their gondola rides (Goya covers all that for you too), but frankly, most kids are going to want to have a hand in choosing which hotel to stay in based on which one has the coolest pool. Guess what, the book lays all that out for you as well. I&#8217;m telling you, as a military family we&#8217;ve traveled to at least 20 countries and countless states within the US and my bookshelf is busting at the seams with guide books to prove it. When comparing the general information that each of my other books has to offer with Goya&#8217;s FWTF LAS VEGAS, I have to say this one holds up on its own. For one, I can&#8217;t tell you how many times we would vacation and all my kids would talk about was how bored they were. Too many of today&#8217;s books show you where to stay, where to eat, how much each will cost you and the occasional historical building\/monument that will take up all of 10 minutes until boredom sets in. How sad is it that we adults forgot how to have fun. I dare you all to try this one out for a day if you find yourself in Vegas. Hit the occasional casino if you want &#8212; Goya shows you each one&#8217;s kid-friendly hot spots, but get a car and drive off further afield to check out the REAL Las Vegas. Believe it or not people actually live there, and they love it. What&#8217;s not to love when you have Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in your back yard!!! Goya&#8217;s book covers it all, and more. I, for one, have gotten over the shock of having to relocate to Las Vegas and this book lent a huge hand in that recovery. I&#8217;ve got big plans for us all after all of the boxes are unpacked and this book will live permanently in my car for the next three years. Take the challenge and live like a kid again.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"R3RZXPBNTC33OH\" class=\"a-section review aok-relative\" data-hook=\"review\">\n<div id=\"R3RZXPBNTC33OH-review-card\" class=\"a-row a-spacing-none\">\n<div id=\"customer_review-R3RZXPBNTC33OH\" class=\"a-section celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"2lf120-lfqjgb-6xl22j-q05f5b\" data-cel-widget=\"customer_review-R3RZXPBNTC33OH\">\n<div class=\"a-row a-spacing-mini\" data-hook=\"genome-widget\">\n<div class=\"a-profile-avatar-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"a-profile-avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amazon-avatars-global\/default._CR0,0,1024,1024_SX48_.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amazon-avatars-global\/default._CR0,0,1024,1024_SX48_.png\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a-profile-content\"><span class=\"a-profile-name\">Mitch Spradley<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a-row\"><a class=\"a-link-normal\" title=\"4.0 out of 5 stars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R3RZXPBNTC33OH\/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=0762727705\"><i class=\"a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating\" data-hook=\"review-star-rating\"><span class=\"a-icon-alt\">4.0 out of 5 stars<\/span><\/i><\/a><a class=\"a-size-base a-link-normal review-title a-color-base review-title-content a-text-bold\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R3RZXPBNTC33OH\/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=0762727705\" data-hook=\"review-title\">\u00a0Lighthearted and Fun!<\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"a-size-base a-color-secondary review-date\" data-hook=\"review-date\">Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2002<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"a-row a-spacing-mini review-data review-format-strip\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"a-row a-spacing-small review-data\">\n<div class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-name=\"review_text_read_more\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"300\">\n<div class=\"a-expander-content reviewText review-text-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\" data-hook=\"review-collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\">I live in Phoenix and my wife and I found this book very handy on our last trip with &#8220;the kids&#8221; &#8211; we&#8217;ve got four of &#8217;em.

The only drawback is that I felt she could have touched on some more getaway trips just outside the city limits, but hey, that&#8217;s being too persnickity!

I found that most of them completed half the book with how to book a flight, how to pack a suitcase, where to stay, what to bring. I already had those things done. I needed to know what to do with a 10 year old boy in vegas! I had no clue! This book offers so many ideas it is incredible. There is way more for kids than you ever dreamed possible, from theme parks, to water parks, to arcades, to circuses, to concerts for kids. The list is endless. There is no way you will do it all, but with this book you can outline, what sounds like fun and what sounds like something you want to do, and have an idea before you go to Vegas. Talk to the kids and see what they like. Definitely a must have if you are bringing kids along!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a-row review-comments cr-vote-action-bar\" data-hook=\"review-comments\">\n<div class=\"a-row a-spacing-small\"><span class=\"a-size-base a-color-tertiary cr-vote-text\" data-hook=\"helpful-vote-statement\">9 people found this helpful<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lynn Goya&#8217;s writing for families received numerous kudos for each of the four editions of Fun with the Family in Las Vegas by Globe Pequot Press. &#8220;The informal tone and exhaustive detail let you know the author is a mother who knows what kids like and how to find it.&#8221;&#8211;Daily Herald\u00a0(Chicago) From the United States [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[67,68,69,7,66,70,9],"class_list":["post-298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-writings","tag-fun-with-the-family","tag-las-vegas-authors","tag-las-vegas-writers","tag-lynn-goya","tag-lynn-goya-author","tag-lynn-goyas-writing","tag-lynn-marie-goya"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
