Welcome to Las Vegas for Kids!
A Las Vegas for kids? Is it really a mission possible? Parents love the lure of “sin city” which we always hope will under promise and over deliver. As reminders of our old party days dance in our minds, we hope that maybe we’ll win a little cash to help pay for our vacation or just catch a glimpse of one flying Elvis.
But….flash forward a few years and Wa La! Now, were parents! What an awesome privilege, but we still want a little taste of the action. After all, we’re not dead are we?
Learn from a Local how to have sin city fun and NOT leave the children out of their fair share. Get the best local child care with local unbiased reviews at Angie’s List - Try Angie’s List today!

Other Helpful Resources in Las Vegas for Kids
First we want to see the heart of it all, the Las Vegas Strip, if we are visiting of course, residents don't go to the strip much. But, is this part of Las Vegas for kids? Well, there wouldn't be an M and M World then right?
If you really want the inside scoop from a local don’t plan your stay on the strip at all. You really should visit some awesome local casinos and resorts that know what a parent needs to have fun with their children along.
How about an on site, play place designed for kids that takes care of them from nursery on up, with huge tubes and ball pools and video games and food and drink and karaoke? This is what I call stress free Las Vegasing in a casino with your kids and they will think it's a blast.
For some hand held tips, check out these guides to Las Vegas for Kids:
You don’t have to worry because you can check in on your children at any time with a few minute walk to the play place. You get a page if they need you. Yes, on site of the casino! There are only 4 places that offer this type of care in Las Vegas for kids and they are all locals joints.
No doubt there are other things on your mind when taking your little ones along, but I hope ease most of your concerns as we talk about top tips, planning, traveling, staying, dining and how to go about doing all of the great things about visiting or making the most of living in Las Vegas with kids.
Welcome to the land of amazing piratesvolcanos, lazy river pools, dolphins, M & M world and Rollercoasters! Now you are really beginning to wonder if they really built Las Vegas for adults or built Las Vegas for Kids.
