Las Vegas with children

The legal age to gamble is 21 years. To protect underage children they are not even allowed near gambling machines or tables. The security personnel in casino’s is very strict about this. Children can only cross the casino floor to get from one place to another within the resort. So they can go from the elevators of the hotel to the restaurants, using the main corridors of the casino floor. In no case they can halt on the casino floor.

Almost all resorts in Las Vegas have a casino, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing for children to do in Las Vegas. The city is also one of the best locations for entertainment in de country. There are many production shows, like Cirque du Soleil. A few resorts even have dedicated spaces for children to enjoy themselves.

Especially Circus Circus and Excalibur have a lot to do for children. Excalibur features an arcade and has the Tournament of Kings dinner show. In Circus Circus you can see circus acts and the whole family can enjoy Adventuredome, an indoor amusement park.

Those who like speed can ride the Big Apple Coaster in New York New York. This rollercoaster goes over and through the hotel and has some unique features like a heartline twist-and-dive and offers great views of The Strip.
