Vegas with kids is doable if you pick the right home base.


On the Strip

1. Mandalay Bay — pool complex with lazy river and wave pool + Shark Reef Aquarium. 2. Bellagio — The iconic fountains, the ever-changing Conservatory garden displays, and an elegant pool complex give kids plenty to love, with a calmer atmosphere than the party hotels. 3. Excalibur — castle theme, arcade, Tournament of Kings dinner show, great value. 4. MGM Grand — big pool complex with lazy rivers, monorail access. 5. New York-New York — Big Apple Coaster, arcade, walkable. 6. Park MGM — fully non-smoking, calmer vibe. 7. The Venetian — spacious suites, pool decks, gondola rides.


Off the Strip

8. Red Rock Casino Resort (Summerlin) — pool, bowling, movies, near Red Rock Canyon. 9. Green Valley Ranch (Henderson) — pool, dining/movie theater district, near Ethel M. 10. Four Seasons — no casino/smoke, attached to Mandalay Bay.


Tips for families

Pools close seasonally (~Oct–Mar); ask about fridge fees; south/north ends calmer than mid-Strip.
