Family Friendly Casino Hotels in Las Vegas

A family vacation in a place full of casinos seems like a crazy idea, so why do families continue to spend their holidays in a city like Las Vegas? It’s true that Las Vegas is a popular hot spot for adults, but what many people don’t realize is that it also has plenty of kid friendly attractions on and off the strip.

Transforming a casino hotel into a family friendly entertainment complex seems a bit counterintuitive, but the truth is that a significant percentage of travelers have kids, and families are key for hotels to maximize their non-gaming revenues. Numerous casino resorts have had to rebrand themselves in order to address the needs for different types of consumers by supplying various forms of entertainment. As Intercasino explains, “Live casinos usually have a festive and pretty active atmosphere. This usually keeps the gamblers and the people inside awake, although it could be pretty distracting.” The fun and festive atmosphere has had to be carried outside the casino, and this has given birth to some truly innovative ideas.

As such, Las Vegas’ casinos, hotels in the area have done their part to accommodate children’s needs, providing them with game rooms, kid friendly pools, special meals, and supervised activities. Truthfully, they’ve done an excellent job in making sure that everyone in the family has a good time, particularly the ones mentioned below.

Nice to know as some of the smaller casinos won’t let them anywhere near the place. Vegas and the surrounding area can be a fun city for people of all ages.
