Does anyone have any recommendations for hotels and restaurants for Las Vegas that are family friendly??

Denise:
I did a search here yesterday on hotels in Las Vegas a received a wealth of information. Good Luck!

Denise - be prepared for the onslaught of posts that criticize you for taking your family to the "Sin Capital of the World".

Now that you are prepared... My kids loved Excalibur and had a great time at the Knights Tournament Dinner Show. There are also several areas that are set up for families including a large games and video carnival, restaurants that cater to Pizza, Italian and Buffet.

In addition there are massive malls in Caesars Palace, Food courts galore and hundreds of Family attractions. My Kids loved IMAX 3-d and the motion simulators at Luxor.

For food, there is a Motown cafe and great food court at NYNY. Food court at MGM and decent buffets at Rio, Bellagio,and many others...

My family spent four, non-stop fun filled days without any gambling, and had no problems except for the grumpy, old, polyester suited Vegas veterans who think they own the town!

my vote is for Luxor...as mentioned, great rides for kids, it is close to nyny which also has rides, etc.

Again, Excalibur...great for kids. We had a nice time at the amusement park at MGM ...which is right across the street from Excalibur.

The amusement park at the MGM has been closed down.

I'm taking my family for 3 days in March (kids 10 & 13). Here some website with useful info of free attractions. www.lasvegasfunbook.com and www.bigempire.com/vegas/freetosee.html.

After some research, we chose to stay at the Mirage. We also got tickets to Mystere (overall consensus was that it's better for kids than O). We don't plan on going to any other shows that we have to pay for. We'll check out the freebies and hopefully get to use the pool.
