Top Kids Friendly Las Vegas Family Hotels

Las Vegas family hotels are quite rare - simply because this city is not quite for kids. Therefore I had to work with the very few that exist. I carefully checked that the hotels I recommend here are suited for kids. Ideally, it should be a hotel that has no casino, does not charge extra fee for kids staying with parents and has a kids-appropriate show. I found out that there is no such hotel in Vegas! Either there is a casino, or no show at all. However, I did find quite suitable alternative hotels, and described how each of them is suited for your little ones.

Four Seasons

Mandalay Bay

Excalibur

Circus Circus

If you don't like all the glamour, shows and casinos, you could opt in for these quiet family resorts.

Top Las Vegas Family Hotels - Four Seasons

3960 Las Vegas Blvd S, NV 89119

The For Seasons Hotel is the ideal choice if you are looking for a luxury and quiet, no-casino hotel that helps you forget you are in the Sin City! The Four Seasons is the most kids friendly of all Las Vegas family hotels, although a very expensive one. However if you take into account all the freebies and no surprise resort fee common in many luxury Vegas hotels, and the fact that it's small size and super high service standards can make you and your whole family feel like celebrity, the price is not that bad.

The Four Seasons Hotel actually loves and welcomes families and offers all sorts of family activities and spoils kids with popcorn and soda, children's menus and playstations (surcharge). It's a small and intimate hotel, and it's located inside another family-friendly hotel, Mandalay Bay Resort, but it has a separate entrance so your kids don't need to go through a smoky casino every time they go in and out. If you have a sudden surge to gamble, you can easily go do that at Mandalay Bay!

There are restaurants on site - an Italian Verandah featuring green natural decor, and an upscale Charlie Palmer Steak. Each restaurant has a bar, and there is also another bar at the picturesque lagoon-style pool. There is also a kids-only wading swimming pool at the hotel.

3950 Las Vegas Boulevard South, NV 89119

The Mandalay Bay Hotel is one of the most fun kids friendly Las Vegas family hotels as it offers the best of both worlds - play areas for both adults and for kids! Your children will adore playing in the wave pool and the lazy river, plus a visit to the the unique Shark Reef containing around 2000 animals, including sharks, turtles, crocodiles, etc.

Now about you - if you like to play - there is a spacious casino with 2,000 slot machines and if you are looking for something even more extravagant, there is a poolside casino where you can play in a bathing suit! For shopaholics, there is this magic place called The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, nesting between Luxor and Mandalay Bay. If that's not enough, we counted 28 restaurants, some of which are located at Mandalay's sister properties THEhotel and Four Seasons (above).

Night life at the Mandalay Bay Hotel is very intense - plenty of live music events and occasional boxing and UFC fights are held there at the Events Center or the Beach. Also we have to specifically mention the House of Blues restaurant/concert venue located at Mandalay - it's home venue of the rock band Santana and a hot spot where you can catch a lot of rock and pop concerts!

Top Las Vegas Family Hotels - Excalibur

3850 Las Vegas Blvd S, NV 89109-4300

The Excalibur Hotel is one of the largest, and perhaps one of the most fun of all cheap kids friendly Las Vegas family hotels! The hotel is named after the famous sword of King Arthur, and is shaped like a medieval castle, which is fun enough for some kids. Although service-wise Excalibur receives more of "very good" instead of "excellent" reviews, you are getting what you pay for, and you pay really, really little for the rooms. The hotel also charges a $15 resort fee, which is significantly lower than in high-caliber resorts in Vegas.

Now about all the fun you and your family can get at the Excalibur Hotel. For kids, there is Fantasy Faire Midway called Fun Dungeon with plenty of rides and video games. The swimming pool is large and includes a splash pool with a water slide. Unfortunately, this completes the list of family-friendly entertainment at the hotel.

Excalibur is not really geared towards children anymore - the adult male strip show Thunder From Down Under is playing there and is heavily advertised, so parental discretion is advised. There is live music playing every night at the hotel, including the regular show The Australian Bee Gees. The feature show of the hotel however is the Tournament of Kings - a dinner show where you eat with bare hands, and watch jousting knights. If you don't like to eat with bare hands, there are eight other restaurant options, including The Steakhouse at Camelot and Buca di Beppo serving Italian dishes. If that's not enough fun, there is a Royal Treatment Spa at the hotel, and a Castle Walk which is a shopping area, where you can find souvenirs, night gowns for women and fun clothes for kids. And of course, there is a casino if you want to combine the best of both worlds!

Top Las Vegas Family Hotels - Circus Circus

2880 Las Vegas Blvd S, NV 89109

The Circus Circus Hotel is a fun and the cheapest of all Las Vegas Family Hotels - perfect if you are on a budget. If you can get over the slightly dated rooms (after all, the hotel was built in 1968!), it's one of the best kids friendly Las Vegas family hotels.

The main attraction of the hotel is The Adventuredome, which is a huge theme park with exciting rides. For even more fun, try playing at the hotels arcade Carnival Midway featuring some 200 games. Besides, every 11:00 am daily, in the middle of the Midway, you can catch absolutely free circus acts with flying acrobats, skaters, jugglers!

The Circus Circus Hotel is also home to the Chuck Jones Experience - exhibition of art of the cartoonist who brought to you Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. There, your kids and you will also learn how to draw those pretty cartoon characters! There is also a large swimming pool on site and a spa tub. The hotel offers multiple dining options. Some restaurants such as Rock & Rita's host entertainment every night.
