The 10 Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Las Vegas
I don't always take my kids along with I visit Las Vegas (although they always want to go). When I do, I look for a hotel that caters to kids. It makes the trip run so much more smoothly. In fact, my kids love Las Vegas mainly because of these fabulous, kid-friendly hotels.
Kids are welcomed and even pampered at this elegant and stylish hotel at the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. On request, the hotel will even childproof your room before you check in.More »
My kids still ask to return to this luxury casino resort about twenty minutes off the Strip. At one end of the casino (and with a separate entrance and parking popular with local residents) is a kid-friendly playground with a multi-screen movie theater, bowling alley, video game arcade and a two-story supervised kids' program, Kids Quest, which my 5-year-old raved about. It takes babies as young as 6 weeks and kids as old as 12, will feed kids meals and snacks, and costs about $7 an hour. (It's open late, until 1 am on weekends, perfect for an adults-only dinner, movie night or some time at the blackjack tables).More »
