  • Excalibur Las Vegas 1. Excalibur - South Central Strip $                              

    • Good pool scene with large shallow area for kids - recently renovated
    • Large kids arcade downstairs
    • Convenient fast food Restaurants including McDonalds
    • Buffet deals
    • Family entertainment
    • Excellent location on the Strip
    • Free tram to Luxor and Manadaly Bay
    • No extra charges for children in a room
    • Attractions such as M&Ms World and Coke World are nearby

    Excalibur (The Castle) has won awards for being the most family friendly hotel in Las Vegas. It has a large children's arcade downstairs with 4D movies featuring Spongebob Squarepants, Extreme Log Ride and Jerassic Park. The new pool scene is great for kids with big shallow areas for younger children. There is a McDonalds and other restaurants downstairs. Excalibur also has a $25 all you can eat - all day deal at the buffet. The Tournament of the Kings dinner and show (with real horses) is also a wonderful show for children and adults alike.

  • Circus Circus Roller Coaster 2. Circus Circus - North Strip $   

    • Two Enormous Entertainment Areas for Kids young and old
    • Renovated Rooms
    • Funny Clown TV Channel
    • Free Circus Acts every 20-30 minutes
    • Large Buffet
    • Older Pool Area
    • Weeknight rooms under $30
    • No extra charge when booking kids in the same room
    Circus Circus is a family oriented casino on the north end of the Strip. It is children heaven with everything a child could desire. Midway Arcade and Adventure Dome will entertain for days. If you are staying two full days, I suggest doing one venue on one day and the other on another day. Tickets for all the rides for the day are $24 in Adventure Dome. Younger children are charged $14.95.  Circus Circus requires a longer walk to the Strip center and the pool scene is older and smaller than Excalibur. Rooms are renovated and quite clean with big bathrooms.

  • Mandalay Bay Pool 3. Mandalay Bay  - South Strip $$$ 

    • Large luxury casino hotel
    • Incredible pool
    • Beautiful casino and bright lobby with giant aquarium, jungle theme and water fountains
    • Sharkworld Aquarium and buffet dinner deals
    • Showing Disney's "The Lion King"
    • Blues restaurant with nightly shows
    • Luxury shopping

    This quality casino is located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. To get to the central part of the Strip, there is a free monorail to Luxor and Excalibur that departs every minute or two. Mandalay Bay rates high as one of the most family friendly hotels because it has an aquarium and probably the best pool/beach scene in Las Vegas.

    Tip: Mandalay Bay is attached to Luxor through a short shopping mall, so if you are seeking a cheaper room, you can stay at Luxor and enjoy the shows, restaurants and aquarium at Manadaly Bay.

    Note: This is my favorite hotel so far for families, entertainment, dining and luxury.

  • Luxor at Family Friendly Las Vegas 4. Luxor - South Strip                              

    • No extra charges when booking kids
    • Interesting exhibits such as "Human Bodies" and "Titanic"
    • Free tram to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur
    • Weeknight rooms from $55
    • Fast food restaurants such as Little Ceasars and McDonalds on the Atrium level
    • All day buffet deal
    • Great guest welcome for parents.

    Our room seemed larger than Circus Circus and Excalibur and nicely appointed but it was very far from the elevators. Our view was pretty amazing, even though we were facing away from the Strip, we still had a good view over the large pool area. The rooms were very quiet and the children didn't have to go anywhere near the casino during our stay, which is rare for any of the casinos on the Strip. Luxor is attached to Mandalay Bay via a shopping mall, so we spent a lot of our stay around Mandalay Bay, which has a good buffet dinner and Sharkworld Aquarium package.  We had a fun time at the guest introductory champagne meet and greet, where they gave away good prizes. We won two tickets to the Titanic Exhibition and a T-Shirt. The casino has Human Bodies and Titanic exhibitions in the main areas. They are very good but expensive at $23 for a child. This enormous Egyptian themed pyramid is situated between Mandalay Bay and Excalibur. A free monorail provides transport between the three casinos. All have attractions for children and Luxor always advertises an interesting exhibit. The quality, themed rooms are often highly discounted.

  • Monte Carlo 5.Monte Carlo - South Central Strip $                    

    • Excellent pool area with lazy river, wave pool and enclosed toddler area
    • Best location on the Strip for the price
    • Nice rooms
    • Eatery with fast food restaurants downstairs

    Great Value midweek. The rooms at Monte Carlo are nice and the pool scene is great. I have included this hotel for its location and its pools, which include a river pool for tubing and a wave pool (shown above). There is also an eatery that includes fast food restaurants that kids like. We have stayed here and enjoyed the central location and the pool.OR CLICK HERE


  • 6. Stratosphere - North Strip $                

    • No extra charges when booking kids  
    • Theme park on the top
    • Guests get access to the top of the tower
    • Revolving restaurant
    • Large Pool

    This hotel has everything for young and old, with an amazing amusement park on the very top of the tower (For teenagers and adults only). Guests have unlimited access tot he tower which is pretty amazing day and night.  The following review sounds negative, but the Stratosphere is actually an excellent hotel and lots of fun for kids. Most rooms are smaller than other casinos and Stratosphere is located at the far north end of the Strip, so it is almost too far to walk anywhere and it's not the best part of town. It's close to Freemont Street by car and the Outlet shopping center. There is a monorail station behind Sahara, which isn't far away from Stratosphere. The pool is located in a sunny area on the 8th floor. It has bars and a volleyball net, but only the hot tub is open during the winter. There is a good evening variety show that is suitable for kids (maybe with the exception of showgils in g-strings) and casino Ace Club members (free to join downstairs) get two-for-one entry into the shows. There is also a fun kid's arcade in the shopping center, and a McDonalds. Stratosphere also offers all you can eat all day for $20 per person (any age). Sundays offers all you can eat king crab and champagne until 2 p.m. for the same price. Lots of fun offers for adults too!

  • Treasure Island for Kids 7. Treasure Island - North Central Strip $$                     

    My friends love this hotel. Rooms are now as low as $69 per night Sun-Thur plus tax. The show every evening is exciting and fun for kids. They tell me it is a smaller, friendlier casino hotel with good rooms. (I've recently seen ads with their newly renovated rooms). It is also very central near Fashion Show Mall. Shown above is the pirate ship where the nightly free shows are staged. Hotel guests get to see the show from an exclusive location.

  •  MGM Las Vegas 8. MGM Grand - South Central Strip $$                

    The Lobby of MGM Grand is a dreamland for children with a live lion exhibit and a jungle restaurant with life-like animals.  (Be careful though - my little baby was afraid of the realistic elephants at first). The hotel is located in the most central part of the strip. MGM Grand is a little more upmarket than Excalibur. MGM also has a monorail station at the back, which sometimes makes it easier to get around.

  • Venetian Las Vegas 9. Venetian  - Central Strip  $$$                                  

    Another high-end hotel with amazing entertainment, a beautiful shopping center and an excellent central strip location is the Venetian. I remember the wonderment I felt at this hotel on my very first trip to Las Vegas, as I saw the period actors and the opera singers as they row the gondolas through the shopping area. This hotel embodies everything that is big, glamorous and surreal about Las Vegas. Is is also attached to Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum.

  • Paris Las Vegas 10. Paris - Central Strip  $$$   

    Central location. Quality hotel. Very nice mall inside and unique village style buffet with extra French flair. I stayed here May 14th for approx $75. We loved it. The rooms were beautiful and the whole French theme was very elegant and fun.

  • Trump Towers 11. Trump Towers - Off North Central Strip $$$     

    I have recently received an excellent review of Trump Towers through this site. Now is the time to experience this luxury location. Located a little back from the central Strip. Children are welcome and receive a children's package on arrival. I have not stayed here but it is classified as 5-star and they advertised rooms that are larger than most. I consider this hotel good value for money, as I have seen some deep discounts for these luxury newer rooms.

  • NY NY Casino Las Vegas 12. New York NY - South Central Strip $$      

    Sun - Thur approx $69 plus tax. The roller coaster and the location at the center of the Strip makes this hotel the number-one choice for teenagers. And for parents who like to party, there are lots of restaurants, bars and nightclubs downstairs and close by.

  • Mirage 13. Mirage - Central Strip $$$                    

    The Mirage is famous for its newly updated volcano show on-the-hour every evening. It is very centrally located just south of Treasure Island. It has a beautiful tropical pool area. One of the most popular in Vegas.

  • Vegas for Kids Caesar's Palace 14.Caesar's Palace - Central Strip $$$              

    Caesar's Palace is where many of the big billing shows appear. It is one of the most famous Las Vegas Hotels and is located in the center of the Strip. The casino includes the famous Forum shops with life-like statues and fountain show.

  • Bellagio Las Vegas 15. Bellagio - Central Strip   $$$       

    Bellagio is a large, glamorous hotel with a beautiful fountain show every evening. This hotel is very central and 5-star. The reason I like it is the babysitter can be upstairs in the room with the kids, while we can be listening to a piano player in a bar downstairs. This casino also has a nightclub called "The Bank" that caters to the more "sophisticated" crowd, which means you don't feel like an idiot when you are over 35. The kids will still enjoy Bellagio for the beautiful atrium, the pool, the nice rooms and the central location.

  • Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Hotel 16. Planet Hollywood - Central Strip $$

    Not the most children friendly hotel in my opinion, but I still had a good experience here because of the Miracle Mile shops and the central location. This hotel has nice rooms, great views, large bathrooms and big-screen TV's. I would say that it had the best bed I have ever slept in, but the pools were very old-fashioned. I think they are currently upgrading the pool area, which means the construction is causing them to do some deep discounting. The shopping center is beautiful and very chic and trendy, but there is a lot of walking involved to get anywhere.
