Holger Leue / Getty Images You want to entertain your children but you really do not want to have them playing arcade games all night long. Las Vegas has a few quality shows that are also perfect for kids. It's never too early to introduce your children to great entertainment. You should know that Cirque du Soleil shows like The Beatles LOVE, "O" and Michael Jackson "One" are all good for mature kids but they can be expensive. Teenagers appreciate them more but my two kids have enjoyed Mystere for years. If your child can sit through a typical "adult " movie (PG, PG-13) they should have the patience to it through a Cirque show. 01 of 08 Mac King Comedy Magic Show at Harrah's Harrah's The show is fun, the magic is simple and the kids seem to have a good time for a very good price. The least expensive show for kids that gives them real Las Vegas entertainment. If there is one entertainer who does it right with more consistency in Las Vegas than Mac King I have not found them. This is a great show even if you do not have kids. Mac King is as good as it gets when it comes to clean family entertainment on the Las Vegas strip. He is so good he'll motivate you to have kids just so that you can bring them to the show. 02 of 08 Matt Franco at the LINQ WireImage / Getty Images Magic is always fun and Matt Franco's brand of entertainment captures the attention of the younger ones and holds the attention of the teenagers.

Go for the VIP experience if you are a big fan and you'll get the full meet and greet experience. 03 of 08 Blue Man Group David Becker / Getty Images Prepare for the sights and the sounds of the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas.

The best part of the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas is that when you arrive back home you'll always be reminded of just how good this show was when your kids bang on every possible thing. 04 of 08 Comedy in Action With Jeff Civillico David Becker / Getty Images If you fear your kids will run off and join the circus you might want to keep them from this show. Jeff Civillico might even convince you to dump the dead-end job and take up juggling and storytelling. Before you attend the show work on your juggling skills just in case you get called on stage to do your thing. Continue to 5 of 8 below. 05 of 08 Nathan Burton Comedy Magic Show Ethan Miller / Getty Images Nathan Burton does a good job of entertaining and the truth is you probably cannot find another magician on the strip that gives you as much for the price of a ticket. This show is a good deal and you most likely will be entertained. 06 of 08 Mystere at Treasure Island MortAuPat / Flickr / CC BY 2.0 Cirque du Soleil creates a brand of entertainment that works for the entire family and Mystere is the best option in Las Vegas.
