Taking your kids to Las Vegas may seem like an unconventional choice, but with careful planning, it can be a memorable and exciting experience for all. Here’s a guide to help you navigate Sin City with your kids in tow.
Where to Stay
The Four Seasons Las Vegas is a great home base for families. It’s a smoke-free oasis adjacent to the tropical-themed Mandalay Bay, offering a respite from the chaos of the Strip. The Four Seasons has a family-friendly atmosphere, with teepees in the suites and rentable Yoto players stocked with kid-friendly music. They also offer a full roster of “summer camp” activities, including helicopter excursions to the Grand Canyon.
Where to Eat
SW Steakhouse at the Wynn offers a unique dining experience with nightly puppet shows and pop performances. The lakeside tables are treated to spectacular scenes, like a giant frog puppet crooning Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” or a trio of cockatiel puppets bopping to Dua Lipa’s “Levitating.”
For brunch with kids, head to Sadelle’s at the Bellagio. The waffles are the size of a first grader’s head, the bagel and smoked salmon tower is a dream for adults, and there’s a fantastical view of the lush, princess-inspired Tea & Tulips flower exhibit.
What to Do
While your husband ventures to the Sphere, take the rest of the family to Arte Museum. This digital art venue offers hyper-real, experiential, bespoke-scented installations that will immerse you in art. Kids will love coloring on animal templates and scanning their creations into a virtual forest.
For football fans, a pilgrimage to Allegiant Stadium is a must. Take a tour of the NFL’s newest, most-tricked-out stadium. You’ll snake through VIP areas like the owner’s box, the nightclub overlooking one endzone, the sidelines, and the locker room, where a special surprise hologram materializes.
Who to Hire
When you need a night out, hire a babysitting service like Nannys & Grannys, recommended by the Four Seasons. They’ll provide experienced and reliable childcare so you can enjoy some adult time.
With careful planning, taking your kids to Las Vegas can be a fun and memorable experience for the whole family. Embrace the glitz and glamour of Vegas while creating lasting memories with your loved ones.
