But sometimes the mega-resorts are full or too expensive or might not be appropriate for your particular situation. For instance, what if you are bringing the kids and you don't want them around the general Las Vegas casino debauchery (and why, exactly, did you bring them anyway?). Below is a list of smaller hotels (some with casinos, some without) that we at Vegas4Visitors.com believe are decent alternatives to the major casino resorts. In most instances they are operated by major chains and are on or within a few miles of The Strip.
