I recently visited Las Vegas for the first time with my sister who is under 21.
Since she can't gamble or drink, we spent the entire weekend doing family-friendly activities.

Last year, my sister and I headed to Las Vegas for a girls' weekend. It was both of our first times in the city.

We spent the weekend partaking in fun, family-friendly activities since my sister is under 21 and can't drink or gamble. We saw Vegas in a different way and had such a great time that we'd go back.

Here are eight of the best things we did in Las Vegas that were way more fun than gambling.

We rode the High Roller, one of the tallest observation wheels in the world.
