Las Vegas is Sin City for some, but it is also family friendly, with many activities for kids. Hotels without casinos tend to be more conducive to families, and you can find family suites at different price levels. The desert location means your kids will get enjoy the outdoor pool, though temperatures can drop dramatically in the evenings in fall and winter.
The newly remodeled Howard Johnson has 100 rooms, including family suites. The hotel offers free parking and a free daily newspaper. An Internet cafe lets you stay connected, and an Olympic-size outdoor pool keeps the kids cool. The restaurant serves three meals daily. In-room refrigerators and microwaves allow you to keep the kids' food fresh and heat up a snack. The pet-friendly Howard Johnson accommodates the entire family.
