Every year we go somewhere new. This year we've decided to go to Las Vegas in late May.
We have two boys ages 13 and 11. We'd like to stay at a casino that is family oriented but still on the strip and somewhat centrally located (easy walking distance to most of the major attractions).
I'd like to find a place where they could roam free (arcades, pool, family entertainers) and not get into trouble (i.e. - adult oriented activities). I've checked the website for Circus Circus. It looks like an average place to stay with way above average activities for the kids but below par for we adults. Then there's Treasure Island, Excalibur, MGM Grand and so on.
I guess what I'd like to find is a casino that we can compromise on. Nice amenities and activities for my wife and I (such as a Jacuzzi in the room, beautifully appointed and luxurious rooms, room service, big pool, adult oriented shows and etc) but still keep the kids excited and busy by themselves (a pool, large arcade, rides, movies, entertainers and etc). This would be for about 2 days with the last 2 days seeing the sites outside of Las Vegas. I want us "all" to enjoy the time there.
Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone live in Vegas that has some tips and/or things to look out for? Will it be pool weather during May?
I've only been to Las Vegas once and that was right after the Mirage was built and even then I was only there for five hours before I had to fly out.
