Brian, minors are allowed in vegas and casinos.
Last summer I was in Vegas for vacation (I was 17)....followed my dad into every casino, and watched him play slots/blackjack, etc. Heck I just gave him my money and had him gamble for me. Vegas security kind of looks the other way when it comes to minors in casinos, namely teenagers....just dont be the actual person gambling.
Vegas Rocks!!! Luxor is the coolest hotel I've ever stayed at....how often do you get to ride up an inclinator?
