Babies in Vegas

Circus-Circus....but Vegas really isn't a place for kids at all. I would try to leave them at home if possible.

We've never stayed there but Circus Circus is kid friendly, it's on the strip and has rides and stuff in it and my sister stayed at Excalbur, that one is kid friendly too, has a carnival,mid-evil them. Both are not expensive hotel either.

I went to Las Vegas about 4 years ago and we stayed in Circus Circus. They actually had a small place inside of the hotel that the kids could play in. It had rides and everything. Don't really know what the cost was since my mother paid for it, but my cousins loved it.

Of the hotels on the strip, Excalibur is the most kid friendly. It has a medieval/knight theme to the entire place. The lowest level is a huge kid area. They also feature a "medieval" dinner show with knights riding horses and eating with your hands. Your 4 year old will love it. I have never stayed at any of the hotels off of the strip so I don't know about any of them. It also is not far from Caesar's. Mandaley Bay is also a nice resort. It has a pool with a beach. It isn't particularly geared toward kids, but it is very family oriented. It has an aquarium that you can walk through and I think a movie theater. It is also a more pricey hotel, but you don't get the riff raff junky gamblers either.

hello- we loved circus circus! i have to say there was sooo much to see with the kids. we all had a great time. just walking around the hotels with all the various live animal show(free). it was great. i never even touch a game and we had a blast!

I think taking kids to Vegas would be difficult. Could your husband's relative watch them while you go and have a "second honeymoon" of your own? You would probably have a better time and so would your kids. They could spend a few days of having someone spoil them rotten and you could do adult things and not have to worry about shows that might show nudity. Think about it. You still have plenty of time.

My husband and I stayed in Excalibur a few years ago, and we really liked it. It seemed more kid oriented to me than many of the other hotels, though I don't remember there being anything strictly for kids. We didn't see the dinner show, but it sounded like fun with knights and jousting and such. It's a little ways from Caesar's at one end of the strip, so you would probably want to take a taxi or tram to get to Caesar's. Someone mentioned Treasure Island, which sounded like fun when we went there to see the pirate show. Well, the pirate ships are cool, but they turned the whole "pirate show" into a Britney Spears type concert. The "girl pirates" are scantily dressed and the boy pirates aren't dressed much more than that. They sing and dance hip-hop style, and though special effects are pretty awesome, I thought the rest of the show wasn't that great. It was definitely created to appeal to the younger crowd. You're kids might really like it, but I would just be wary of the content of the show, which seemed more for adults and nothing like "Pirates of the Caribbean". Another great free thing to do along the strip is to watch the volcano at the Mirage erupt. Also, my favorite site to stop at was the fountain show outside the Bellagio. It's pretty close to Caesar's, and the fountains are just beautiful. They "dance" to music, and at night with the lights, it's pretty breathtaking. Before we went to Vegas, we bought tickets on-line for "Mystere" at Treasure Island. It's one of the many Cirque Du Soleil shows in town, but I think it's the most kid friendly. It's been around the longest, but we still thought it was great! Have fun when you're there! It really is a fun place to be.

It's been quite a number of years since I've been to Las Vegas, but you might check out Circus Circus. I have not stayed there, but it should be pretty kid-friendly.

Have fun!

We haven't been to vegas in eight years, but we always stayed at the Flamingo. It's across the street from Caesar's (used to) be much less pricey, and has the most wonderful pool to play and swim in. Don't go to Excalibur. It used to be nice for kids (it might still have a carnival-style gameroom in the bottom) but was seriously run down the last time we were there and walked through it. New York New York has a small roller coaster and other stuff in the top part for kids, though I think those games may be a bit older than yours.

Check out the Flamingo online. It's nice and you'll REALLY like the pool. Another fun choice is Treasure Island. They have a whole pirate theme going, with pirate ships out front and all.

And good luck! Just make sure to take the tram or a bus if you go North or South of the main part of the strip (around Caesars, Mirage, Flamingo, etc.) so you miss the guys with their "picture brochures" so you don't have to explain to your daughter. : |

Circus/Circus is kid friendly, and affordable, just make sure you stay in the tower rooms. They are very nice for the money. It is quite loud in there, because there are so many children staying, and visiting the attractions. The rooms are quiet though, and it is towards the end of the strip. Hope you have a good time, and good luck to your sister!

It's been 4 years since I was in Vegas with my small children (for a wedding also). I do not remember any casino being what I would call "kid friendly." In fact, when I would walk through a casino with my stroller I was not allowed to stop. They have designated walking paths for children and if you stop they rush over to ask you to keep moving. My advice would be to stay at a plain hotel and you may have to venture away from the strip to find one.
I did not stay at Circus Circus and it may well be friendly for kids. I hope you find something.

I've heard Circus Circus is good for kids.

Have a great time!
