Bellagio will have the fewest kids.

Bellagio is rated #1 and will have the highest prices; therefore, you can almost bet on the fewest kids.<BR>The Golden is located in DOWNTOWN, not on the Strip; very nice rooms as it's a Mirage property (if remember correctly); has moderate prices.<BR>You need to read from the following websites:<BR><BR>www.cheapovegas.com<BR><BR>Don't be put off completely by the name; Casino Boy writes in an irrevant style but has excellent room descriptions as well as maps; etc.<BR><BR>www.lvol.com<BR><BR>If you can't find what you want at the above website; you don't need it -- massive amount of info.

The Rio has a health club and spa

On a scale of 1-10, Bellagio is a 9.5, Mandaly an 8, Flamingo a 6, Bally's a 5.5, Rio is a 7 and I can't rate GN because I've never stayed there and would never want to stay downtown (it's dying).<BR>Oh, and Riviera? A 2 on a good day when there's no bum vomit to step over in the parking lot.<BR>Flamingo is smack in the middle of the strip, so the answer to 'how far is it from the strip' is: a shorter distance than you can toss one of the local midget Elvis impersonators roaming around.<BR>Bellagio forbids all kids who are not with parent-guests.

Interesting that your not considering the Venetian. Best rooms of the bunch. Not many kids either except when people are wandering around during the day. Bellagio is very nice (spent 5 days there last summer). Bally's is aged, Mandalay not bad. No help on the others.
