We plane to go for 2-4 days...Thanks......BTW, when i get back from the trip, i will have alot of stuffs for sale too..J/K.

i would imagine circus circus, the NY one, treasure island, and maybe even the venetian would all have something for the kiddos

make sure you go checkout the fremont street experience if you never have

above all, have a blast!!!

There aren't any casinos that allow kids in the gaming areas. But, Circus Circus used to be pretty good for the whole family. They have an arcade area with games of skill & stuff like you'd see at a carival.

I hate to say this, but unless your 7 year old can take care of the 1 year old, and you're willing to let them stay in the room by themselves, you and your wife will not have any time alone for anniversary activities. There may be some hotels that have a "day care" facility now days, though. I think you should probably look into that.

If all else fails, you and your wife will have to take turns watching the kids and gambling. (Remember: Always split your 8's and A's when playing Blackjack and, when playing craps, play the pass line, have 2 come bets working, and always cover 6 and 8, unless one of them is the point.)

Oh yea. Can I go with you?!?

circus circus would probably be a good one for kids, also maybe New York. the roller coaster is pretty fun. we went to Treasure Island and saw the "Mystere" Circ de sole.. i had never seen a show like that before and it was Amazing! Mandalay Bay has a huge shark reef thats cool and an area you can pet some sting rays, and the aquarium at the mirage is great too.

We went a couple of months ago. I think Circus Circus would probably be your best bet but Vegas is hard to do with kiddos that young. We have debated taking our 9 year old daughter to see Phantom and Blue Man at the Venetian.

You could also try The Excalibur.

Yeah, it's tough to have fun as adults unless you have someone to watch your kids for you at times. Kids aren't allowed in the casinos. They can't even sit in the bar area of a restuarant that happens to have a video poker machine on the bar. Some of the shows are for 18 and up only. Found this out the hard way when we went for my 21st birthday and my sister was 17. We had pit bosses run her out of the casino area and a bar tender ask her to leave when we were having a drink at a bar waiting for a table. Vegas has become more family oriented over the years so don't get me wrong, a family can still have fun, you just have to plan ahead. And as stated, it would help if you found someone to watch the kids while mom & dad had an evening out to gamble and enjoy what makes Vegas, Vegas.
