Things to Do for Teenagers in Las Vegas

The New York, New York casino resort features something even the most jaded teen will love: the 203 feet tall roller coaster that will drop them 144 feet until they reach speeds of 67 mph. Right at the peak of the coaster's speed a photo is snapped to reveal whether your teen was thrilled to death or frightened to death.

GameWorks features 55,000 square feet of video games -- a heaven on Earth on for some teens. Though it features retro games all the way back to Pac-Man, GameWorks is best known for innovative interactive games that use the entire body. Teens can go for a wild Jet Ski ride across the virtual surface of an ocean or race against others to become the new king of the Indy 500. The future of bowling is one of the most popular and unique games here: Players roll an actual bowling ball down a real lane, but the result is seen on a virtual screen. There's also food and even a 21-and-older lounge that is off-limits to the teens and kids.
