No matter what you may have heard, Las Vegas is not a very family friendly town. Sure there are roller coasters and animal exhibits but there are a lot more strip clubs, topless shows, gambling, drinking, smoking and general debauchery than there are amusements for the wee ones. In addition, most major hotels are no longer offering any discount for children staying in their parents' room, so you'll pay an addition $25-40 per night for the visit. Although some families have made trips and come away with a successful vacation, I've heard from many more that say they'll never do it again.
Of course sometimes you don't have the option to leave the kids with grandma, so if your vacation plans have to include the offspring, there is one resource you should check into for more in-depth information on how to plan a family friendly Vegas visit: LasVegasKids.Net is a comprehensive guide to family friendly hotels, child care, activities, fun stuff, and more.

|
Most major hotels will be able to arrange childcare or babysitting services for you or refer you to reputable companies that service their facilities. This eliminates the worry of trying to investigate an unknown on your own.
Many hotels also have onsite childcare facilities. These include Boulder, Sunset, and Texas Stations located elsewhere around town. Be sure to ask what facilities or services are available when you make your hotel reservation.
