Best Under 21 Clubs in Las Vegas

Not many places associated with the word "museum" are such a hands-on experience. Open from 11 a.m. until at least 11 p.m., the PHoF is packed with pinball machines from all eras. Known as both the Pinball Hall of Fame (PHoF) and the Pinball Museum, this is an unusual collection by any measure. The 10,000-square-foot non-profit museum is dedicated purely to pinball, and this Vegas gem hosts a massive collection of machines, many of which date to 1950 and most of which come from the celebrated heydays of pinball, 1960 to 1980. Every game is operational, so revisit all of your old-time favorites!

Every month First Friday takes over a small portion of the Arts District in Downtown Las Vegas, located around the area of Casino Center and Charleston. The art on display and being created encompasses a wide variety of styles. Food trucks, vendors for all kinds of products and performance artists are also wandering through the First Friday crowd, plus you can enjoy live music being played on a few stages. For those who are over 21, drinks can be purchased at several places. The later the hour, the rowdier (and more adult) the crowd gets. Limited parking is often an issue at First Friday, owing to its downtown location. Hitch an Uber or a taxi to avoid having to worry about where to park.

KISS by Monster Mini Golf is a large space inside the Rio Hotel and Casino, which is located just west of the Strip. It's theme is obvious from the name, and if you like rock 'n roll, especially KISS, your round of glow-in-the-dark mini golf will be that much more fun. This is a fun stop for all ages, although the music can get loud for smaller kids. A live DJ is on hand to make sure the rock and roll stays going strong as you check your mini-golf skills. KISS fans will be thrilled to find a treasure trove of memorabilia. Items located throughout the course include every album the group has ever cut (signed by all the band members), an original 70s KISS pinball machine and guitars from the band members.

Penn and Teller have been astonishing and entertaining audiences for almost 40 years. Yes, they're magicians, but they're also comedians. The more talkative Penn is known to many for his appearances on reality TV shows, while hearing Teller talk requires an in-person visit. Their show at the Rio has been running for over a decade, putting them among the top entertainers for longevity in Las Vegas. They keep refreshing the act to keep it feeling new, so if you've been before, it's probably changed. Before the show, you can check out the props that will be used on stage - see if it helps you figure out the magic. On any given night, the act might include guns, knives or fire, but each night it certainly includes a large dose of entertainment.

Cue D's is in Chinatown, a growing district west of the Las Vegas Strip. This pool hall welcomes those under 21, and as long as you're over 18, you can continue shooting pool past curfew. Weekdays rates are only $10 per hour for 2 players, and on the weekend all tables are $10. Drinks specials are offered to those over 21, and snack plates are available with affordable munchies like hot dogs and spicy cheese stuffed sausage. A full array of soft drinks, energy drinks, iced tea and waters is also available. The strip mall Cue D's is in is also full of dining options and even a karaoke bar open to those under 21.

Get ready to unleash your inner warrior at Axehole, where you and some friends can compete to see who can hit the bull's eye with an axe - or shovel, ninja star or spear. After you arrive, the friendly staff at Axehole will give your group instructions on how to throw and set up your group with an axe-throwing game. Next, you'll get a chance to learn trick shots and practice your skills. It's a fun way to spend an hour or two, and ages 7 and up can participate. Everyone in your group can get in touch with their inner Viking. Be sure to wear closed toe shoes and dress comfortably. Throwing axes is a great group activity and even if you don't become an expert axe thrower, you'll still have a good time.

Brooklyn Bowl is a concert venue, a bowling alley and a restaurant, but that simple description doesn't do it justice. The bowling lanes (which feature large, comfortable sofas) are adjacent to the venue so you can bowl and listen to live music at the same time. A wide variety of acts play here and many shows are open to those under 21; the venue in general is open to under 21 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Food and beverage service is available, with food from Blue Ribbon, best known for their signature chicken. Some performances are free, and many are low cost, making Brooklyn Bowl one of the more affordable ways to see live music on the Strip. Brooklyn Bowl is located conveniently in The LINQ's open air district, a pedestrian-friendly area filled with restaurants and shops that's also home to The High Roller observation wheel.

The famed House of Blues frequently has shows for all ages or 18+, providing an amazing opportunity for everyone to rock out Vegas-style.

It boasts a spectacular open-air balcony and over 300 pieces of folk art, making this one funky place to move to the beat of your favorite bands, whether you're 18 or 88. Fantastic prices are an added bonus. Check out the venue's schedule online to see what's playing when you're in town.

Absinthe is full of raunchy jokes and incredible displays of physical skill, all in a atmosphere that lives up to the show's name. The show takes place in the fanciful Spiegelworld tent, and the small space makes it easy to draw the audience into this bawdy and amazing show. The main characters, Penny and the Gazillionaire, drive the show forward and keep everyone laughing (or gasping), but you get much more than comedy at Absinthe. This adults-only version of the circus is filled with extremes of both comedy and athletic bravery. Daring feats of balance and strength are performed up close and personal in this intimate space. If you're sitting close, not only will you feel the tension of the more daring acts, it's likely you'll also be drawn into some interesting exchanges.
