Las Vegas Family Friendly Vacations

family friendly las vegas lodging activities and entertainment

Las Vegas is not known as a very kid friendly place. Smoker, drinker and gambler friendly, yes definitely. But few people see casinos as a great place to bring your kids. That's where we come in. We're dedicated to helping you find the best family friendly activities, lodging and entertainment available in Las Vegas for families with children.

A Good Place for Families?

When you think of Las Vegas, what's the first thing to comes to mind? Slot machines? That famous sign? Showgirls and free drinks? None of those things has anything to do with kids. It van be hard for parents to make adult time in a place like Las Vegas when the family can't all enjoy those activities together. Yet with some planning and consideration for your next vacation, it is possible to bring the family here and for everyone to have an equally good time. The adults, obviously, will have plenty of time to gamble and do adult things while the kids are enjoying themselves and having their own Las Vegas adventure.

Several years ago, our family decided to spend a week in Las Vegas. Having been here myself nearly a hundred times or more for business or pleasure, it was difficult for me to imagine how we would all fair in a casino hotel for a week. Sure, there was plenty to do. But all the smoking and drinking had the wife and I concerned, plus, how, exactly do you explain gambling and the scantily clad "free drink" girls all over the casino?
