For families planning a destination wedding in the Wedding Capital of the World, there are plenty of kid friendly hotels in Las Vegas to enjoy. Fortunately Sin City hotels aren’t all gambling and nightclubs.
When the best travel agents and hotel package salespeople are looking for kid-friendly Las Vegas hotels, this list provides all they need to know. I’ve compiled all my faves, and used my insider knowledge to give you the scoop that everyone is searching for.
The Resort At Summerlin (JW Marriott and Rampart Casino)
Recently renovated and back to its local roots, the JW Marriott Las Vegas and Rampart Casino combine to offer a 4-star experience for families. Adults will enjoy the 50,000 square-foot casino, while the whole family can relax in style at 12 distinctive restaurants and outlets, 549 well-appointed guestrooms, and 54 acres of stunning grounds.
Well manicured lawns and garden complexes that make this a great wedding venue, too! Old-world Italianate and Spanish Colonial architecture completes the picture and provides stunning photography backdrops for your special day.
The resort pool has a pretty chill vibe and kids will enjoy the zero-depth splash area, the waterfall and the lawn games. Food and drinks service is available poolside with kid-friendly options.
To burn off some energy the resort offers complimentary bike rental and daily access to volleyball, horseshoes, and bocce ball. Bigger kids might enjoy a day on the Cloud 9 par 3 golf course or the natural grass putt-putt course across the street at Angel Park Golf Club.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Most years for my birthday because I like their pool.
Red Rock Resort
Red Rock Resort goes all-out for the kids at your micro wedding in Vegas. The resort-style pool makes for a fun afternoon splashing and relaxing, but some families might find the music to be on the loud side of the dial. If it gets to be too much, there’s plenty more to do.
Competitive families can hit the lanes at state-of-the-art bowling alley. It opens at 9am and transitions to a higher energy cosmic bowling alley from 4pm till closing. Moviegoers can see the latest releases at the onsite 16-screen Regal Cinemas and IMAX complex. And if you’re looking for an arcade, Red Rock has one of the best. It’s a Cyber Quest featuring non-violent family friendly machines.
Need to drop the kids off for a bit? The Kids Quest child care center takes care of your kiddos for an hourly fee.
The other great thing about Red Rock Resort is its proximity to Downtown Summerlin. In addition to bars/restaurants and shops of all kinds, this upscale shopping and entertainment district schedules family friendly events throughout the year including parades for the holidays, weekly farmers markets, seasonal displays and activations and much more.
The flagship resort of the Stations Casinos brand is also a great place to get married. Host your ceremony and reception all on site!
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Multiple times a year for the last 8 years. My inlaws usually choose Red Rock when they come for visits.
Excalibur
The kid-friendly highlight of this medieval themed Strip resort is the Fun Dungeon.The legendary arcade is an all-ages friendly, features more than 200 old and new games and even has a Dairy Queen and an Orange Julius outlet for when you need a snack or some ice cream and smoothies.
The other biggie for kids at Excalibur is the Tournament of Kings. This live-action Medieval production is a real hoot. Watch jousting, pyrotechnics, and more as you enjoy a delicious medieval themed meal.
The Excalibur will also be super close to the new Major League Baseball stadium. The Oakland A’s are moving to town and their new stadium is taking shape just across the street from the Excalibur. Take your kids to a ball game starting with the 2028 season.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Once when I had friends with small kids visiting from Ohio.
Tahiti Village
Have you heard the old Tanya Roberts radio commercials proclaiming that “Las Vegas is calling” or seen the vintage TV ads featuring Alan Thicke? Then you know all about one of my favorite kid friendly hotels in Las Vegas. I’ve taken my family there a few times for staycations, and we love it. One big plus is that it’s on Las Vegas Boulevard but not in the resort corridor, which means less chaos and FREE PARKING for the family sedan!
The celeb endorsers already told you about the pool with the sandy beach entry and the lazy river, right? But did you know about the barbeque grills for guest use, the Activity Center and Tiki Cove Arcade? Enjoy family friendly arts and crafts, games and other programming at the Activity Center or aim for the new high score in the arcade.
Food options are un-pretentious at the onsite Denny’s and if you want a bigger variety you can walk across the street to the Las Vegas South Premium Outlets mall and dine at the food court or a number of stand alone chain restaurants that dot the parking lot. They include Outback, Buffalo Wild Wings, IHOP, Chili’s, Five Guys and more.
Eventually, the Brightline West rail station will be in service on this same intersection and families traveling from Southern California will be able to hop off the high-speed passenger train and be steps away from Tahiti Village and all that it offers.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Twice for multi-night stayscations in a recent 6-month span.
Hilton Grand Vacations Club Paradise Las Vegas
The smokey booze-fueled mega-resorts will feel a world away during your family’s stay at this north Strip property. The studio and suites are spacious and offer ample room for your crew to spread out, and the onsite amenities make for a pleasant family-oriented surprise in Sin City.
One of the biggest pluses is the fact that the Vacations Club is smoke-free and gaming free. HGVCPLV is near the top of the short list of resorts that prohibit smoking.
When I stayed there with my extended family a few years ago we made use of the hot tub and outdoor pool with grills, family-friendly game room and convenience store.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Once, when my close family chose to stay there for a week.
Park MGM
Another fully non-smoking resort, and the first and only one on the Strip is Park MGM. The smoking ban is enforced in guest rooms, the casino, restaurants, and common areas. For couples wanting to bring their health-conscious family to a Las Vegas wedding and still wanting to enjoy the “Vegas” experience, this is the spot for you. The only thing missing from this mega-resort is the smoke.
It’s got everything you would expect from a Las Vegas stay including the yummy options at Eataly food hall, world-class entertainers at Dolby Live theater and direct pedestrian access to T-Mobile Arena – home of the Vegas Golden Knights. Catch a game with the kids, or just be part of the free pre-game festivities in the plaza.
If your kids are big fans of Lady Gaga then the whole family will enjoy pursuing the super-star’s gallery of famous outfits at Haus of Gaga. Little Monsters of all ages can see the meat dress, several custom body suites and other iconic pieces from Gaga’s closet.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Several times a year during hockey season and occasionally for concerts.
The LINQ
It’s marketed to millennials, but the Linq is a fun Strip hotel for all ages. I say this because the Linq is more than just a center-Strip hotel and casino. There’s also a promenade full of shops, restaurants, and activities the whole family can enjoy.
On one end of the outdoor mall (nearest Las Vegas Boulevard) you’ve got the Fly Linq; the only zipline on the Strip. On the other, you’ve got the world’s second tallest observation wheel, the High Roller. And in between you’ll encounter seasonal and holiday activations, a fountain, ice cream and candy shops, funky stores, and great people watching.
If that’s not enough to get you excited, book one of their bunk beds rooms or deluxe cabana pool rooms and enjoy your in-room time as much as your out-and-about time.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Lots! It’s a fun one.
Oasis At Gold Spike
This retro boutique hotel might be good if you’ve got older kids. The last time I was in there, the Spike gave me major college kid vibes and some of their guest rooms sound like fun for older teens. Trendy penthouse suites offer 3 bedrooms, rooftop terraces, pool tables and full modern kitchens.
I wouldn’t call the Fremont Street Experience especially kid-friendly, but if you’re up for it, the Gold Spike is close to this wild and (some times R-rated) ped mall. On the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got the very kid-friendly Downtown Container Park located a short walk in the opposite direction. There’s a fun treehouse-like play structure, lawn games and of course ice cream, pizza and toy shops!
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Rarely. Not great for my young kid.
Least Kid-Friendly Hotel in Vegas: Circa
Out of an abundance of caution I also wanted to include the least kid-friendly hotel in Las Vegas. At this one, BY RULE, your underage kids won’t even be allowed in the door. Circa is the only adults-only 21+ casino resort in town. This policy is strictly enforced. Circa differs in that most casino resorts only restrict kids from the gaming floor. Security is stationed at all Circa entrances and they check IDs. Not 21? You won’t get in.
Frequency of Visits with My Family: Never with the fam.
