A month ago, my husband received a letter from The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas inviting him to a three night/four day free stay at either the Venetian or Palazzo. Of course, we took advantage of this offer. They even added 2 tickets to see the Phantom of the Opera. As always, we made this trip a family affair. My mom, son, husband and I all drove out to Las Vegas (a four/five hour drive from Phoenix). I have been to Las Vegas various times but the amenities at a five star hotel made a significant difference. The resort looked and smelled clean (no cigarette smell). The resort has four pools, one being a baby pool where our son splashed around. The environment was overall very child friendly, unlike most other hotels in Las Vegas. If you are planning a family vacation to Las Vegas, I recommend staying a nice resort such as The Venetian or Palazzo. In the past we have stayed at Imperial Palace, which is a decent 3 star hotel on the strip but the environment is very much adult oriented. It is smoky, dark, and crowded. When we stayed there two years ago, the pool was full of intoxicated adults.
Below are some activities we have done with our toddler in Las Vegas. Happy travels!
Walked the strip/casino shopping centers (such as Forum Shops, Miracle Mile, Fashion Mall, St. Mark's Square)
Visited Lead Museum (large, affordable, interactive children’s museum
Watched a free show at Circus, Circus
Went to Adventuredome (not many rides- about a total of 3 kiddie rides) not sure if i recommend it for toddlers
