Best Las Vegas Hotels for Families
As family vacation options go, Las Vegas is pretty low on the list. It is not a kid-friendly place, and most major hotels do not offer babysitting or children’s activities. Very few offer discounts for children or let older children stay free. These hotels cater to vacationing adults and do not see investing in kids’ activities and meals as worthwhile. However, if you are planning a family vacation in Vegas, here are some hotels that may be your best bet for accommodating families. In addition to these, it would also be worthwhile to seek out a hotel unconnected to a casino and a place with a kitchenette.
- Traveling With Kids: The Beach
A beach vacation is one of the best things you can do for your children. If you don't live near the ocean, a trip there is an amazing adventure that kids will never forget. In fact, they may beg to return... - Traveling With Kids: The St. Louis Arch
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is one of those American icons that you just have to visit. At 630 feet tall, it is known as the gateway to the west. It's quite a view driving into the city and seeing this...
Four Seasons
While the Four Seasons
is on the expensive side of Las Vegas hotels, it also offers lots of free
goodies and opportunities for pampering. Older children especially may enjoy
this treatment and feel entertained.
Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay offers many
amenities that are attractive for families. The rooms are large and spacious
enough to accommodate large families. You can access this hotel without having
to enter a casino, making it accessible. Many restaurants are available, giving
your family diverse menu options. Also, shows and a shark attraction offer
family fun. The biggest draw for this hotel is the great swimming—your family
can relax in a wave pool, lazy river, and a variety of other pools.
The Orleans
The Orleans is close to
the strip and offers several family-friendly activities, including a large pool
area, an activity area for kids, bowling, and movie theatres. Small children
will especially like these activities.
Circus Circus Hotel & Casino
This hotel is home to
daily circus acts in the mezzanine level from 11:00am to midnight, carnival
games, and an arcade. There is also an amusement park just behind the hotel.
The hotel is also centrally located on the strip, making it an ideal place for
both adults and children.
Excalibur
This hotel originally had a heavy sword and sorcery theme, but this has been toned down in recent years. Kids will enjoy an entire floor of midway games and a giant video-game arcade. Some shows and eateries target children, giving your family some good dining options. Keep kids away from the hotel’s male stripper show, though!
New York-New York
This hotel is hectic and
crowded, but does offer some family options including a roller coaster and the
Coney Island-themed midway. There are lots to see as well, making it a good
strolling place.
