What about the roller coasters at NYNY,

Las Vegas Entertainment - The Roller Coaster at New York New York Hotel & Casino

and the Sahara, NASCAR Cafe and Las Vegas Entertainment Center at the Sahara Hotel

or the Stratosphere Tower rides, Vegas Strip Hotels, Reservations - Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel On The Strip

or the Adventuredome at Circus Circus?

Las Vegas Entertainment - Adventuredome - Circus Circus

How about the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay,

Shark Reef Aquarium - Mandalay Bay - Las Vegas Shark Exhibit

or Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat?

Las Vegas Entertainment - Secret Garden at The Mirage

Or the free shows outside along the Strip? Or Gameworks, the Coca Cola Store, the M&M Store, The climbing wall. Lots of stuff, but be advised there is a curfew for kids in Las Vegas and it is strictly enforced on the Strip.

There are surely 19 YOs all over Vegas; the question would be how many are likely to be near the typical tourist attractions? And without know how/if this would apply to you, while some 21+ guys on the Strip may try to chat someone up, once they find out your ages then the conversation may end quickly as they won't be able to take them too many places.

Here's an idea: how about a hostel? I believe there are one or two in Vegas. They won't be in the most appealing areas but they would still be convenient to a lot of places. And you'd meet a lot of people from around the country and the world who are likely not there to gamble (or else they'd be at a casino for a few bucks more) and would be up for exploring other things.

Well usually to gamble and to go clubbing you have to be at least 21 and over in most states but you guys can always enjoy SHOPPING, SIGHTSEEING, GOING OUT TO EAT and I am sure there will be LOTS OF OTHER MISCELLEANOUS activities in Vegas that you guys can participate in as well and have a great time even if you cannot enter a casino and gamble or go to any of the clubs over there.

YOU GUYS WILL STILL HAVE A GREAT TIME AS LONG AS YOU STAY ON THAT STRIP

(Just be careful at all times because there are a lot of con artists out there that will see a group of young kids and try to take advantage)

You might meet a lot of people around your age on the Strip, especially on weekends before curfew. Local kids like to cruise the Strip. They also hang out in places like the Stratosphere, Circus Circus, New York New York, Gameworks, Fremont Street, etc. Remember we have the 5th largest school district in the country. There are over 300,000 school kids in Las Vegas. If you meet local kids they can show you the fun things to do. But, like kids everywhere, they'll complain that there isn't anything to do for kids.

There is no curfew, only for 17 and under. I meet a lot of people your age on the strip. They usually ask me to buy them alcohol. It depends on how drunk I am whether I do it or not LOL! Don't listen to the naysayers, you can still have fun in Vegas being under 21. You just can not gamble. I started coming up to Vegas regularly since I turned 18 all the way back in 1993. I hope you have a great time while you are here .

If you go during the warm/hot months, the pool scene is great. MGM Grand, Mandalay and Hard Rock have some great pool areas to chill and meet people. I used to and still do watch the shows. They are the best, check out Le Reve. I saw Jubilee, which was pretty good as well, + lots of boobies and I think that's 18+. There's hookah bars that are 18+. All the main resorts/casinos themselves are worth checking out. There's a couple strip clubs that are 18+. You can hike around Red Rock Canyon. You can shoot real machine guns at the gun store (that's the name of it). The stratosphere has some cool rides that are much better value than the NY NY coaster. I've been to Vegas many times when I was under 21 and still had a great time each time.

The kids only complain in Las Vegas because it is much different. In the last few years, Mountasia, Scandia, Jillians, MGM Grand Adventures, and Wet N Wild have closed.

Many concerts are 21 and over and most are more expensive than in other cities.

There is only one 18 and over nightclub, whereas many other cities have all-ages nightclubs and even 18 to enter, 21 to drink...

Most other cities don't have movie theaters/bowling allies with 6 PM curfews...I can think of a few places here that do...

Most other cities have art galleries that are open more than once a month...
