Las Vegas, NV. Got it. Here’s a List of Kosher Hotels, Restaurants, Shuls & More in Nevada

The Las Vegas Strip – Where nearly all the major hotels and casinos are located, is definitely not a suitable location to bring children too. Beware of serious shmiras einayim issues!

While not as impressive as the man made attractions within the casinos proper, there is an enormous amount to do and explore in the nearby regions outdoors that are definitely worth a visit.

Las Vegas International Airport is also the closest Airport to the Grand Canyon’s North Rim – Definitely worth the trip!
