The Best Senior-Friendly Winter Activities in Las Vegas

In the past decade, the number of seniors visiting and retiring in Las Vegas has steadily increased.

However, the attractions in Las Vegas aren’t limited to glitz and glam. Seniors can explore the city's outskirts and enjoy the natural landscape. During winter, Las Vegas has plenty of budget-friendly activities for seniors. The activities suit seniors traveling alone and with their partners, kids, or grandchildren.
