Meet Leo and his friends — four curious kids on their biggest adventure yet.
In Leo and His Friends: The Las Vegas Adventure, Leo the Leader, Penny the Planner, Sam the Spender, and Chloe the Creative travel to Nevada after winning a once-in-a-lifetime sweepstakes — a luxury hotel stay and VIP tickets to see The Wizard of Oz at the incredible Las Vegas Sphere
What begins as a dream prize quickly becomes a real-world lesson in budgeting, patience, and problem-solving. Because airfare isn’t included, the kids must book the cheapest flights they can, which means layovers, boarding in Group Seven, and learning firsthand what trade-offs come with saving money
Along the way, students follow the group as they:
Navigate airports, layovers, and airline rules
Experience Las Vegas landmarks like the Strip, Fremont Street, and The Venetian
Solve puzzles inside a pirate-themed escape room
Explore science and health inside Bodies… The Exhibition
Visit Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
Witness a movie come to life inside the immersive Las Vegas Sphere, complete with wind, falling apples, and the real Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz
Each character plays an essential role — Penny plans the logistics, Leo leads the team, Sam tracks spending and finds deals, and Chloe captures the wonder through art — showing students how teamwork and smart choices make even the biggest adventures possible.
