There's a saying "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" that can apply to family vacations in Las Vegas, especially when there are temper tantrums involved. However, parents traveling to Las Vegas can rest easy knowing that not only are there hotels on and off the Strip that provide child amenities and supplies, but babysitting as well.
All members of the family can relax in style at the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, located on the south end of the Strip. This hotel may be a game-free facility, but offers guest rooms and suites with DVD player, flat-screen television, coffeemaker, wireless or wired Internet access and a CD player. Children 18 years and under are welcome to share their parents room for free.
Children will enjoy the many perks offered by the hotel. The hotel will arrange for babysitting services with experienced, bonded babysitters provided the parents give at least two hours notice. Parents must pay an hourly babysitting fee. The hotel will also provide welcome gifts for the children and parents who provide the hotel with advance notice will receive baby-proofing items, cribs, high chairs and playpens. Families are welcome to borrow board games and DVDs from the hotel and have free access to the lazy river, pools and wave pool at the adjacent Mandalay Bay Resort. If your children are joining you for a night on the town, ask the concierge to recommend the best family-friendly restaurants and attractions.
