A simple reminder from your pal, NuclearNed

[NuclearNed]

If you have kids, and you want to visit Vegas, fine. You are more than welcome to visit the Mecca of all that is adult oriented. But leave the kids at home.

When I'm stumbling through the aisles of my favorite casino, with my head buzzing slightly from the multitude of free drinks I've enjoyed and my eyes burning from playing cards for 103 hours straight, the last freakin' thing in the world that I want to have to do is to have to try to force my way around you, your wife, five strollers, and your roaming pack of various sized rugrats. I don't want to even imagine that I can detect that odor that all children have, and I may just become homicidal should one of your little love lumpkins decide that now is a great time to practice uncontrolled screaming. Drop them off at Grammy's, leave them in the desert, sell them to an African sex-slave ring BUT DO NOT BRING THEM TO VEGAS.

Las Vegas is not meant for children. It never has been, and it never will be. They make all those Disney places for good people just like you, and they are just begging for your patronage.

Thank you for your time and attention, and Merry Christmas!!!

Maybe you shouldn't be driving if you've had some drinks.
Edit -- I thought you were driving. I agree about not having kids in the casino though.

Hasn't the City of Las Vegas spent tons of money over the last 10 years trying to convince the rest of the country that Vegas was all about family oriented entertainment?

 

[Queasy]

I guess that is why Vegas is marketing itself to families now....

Other than Circus Circus, I can't think of many places kids can go to enjoy themselves.

MGM used to have a theme park, I dunno if its still up though.

Actually, over the past 5 or so years the trend in Vegas is moving towards serving more hardcore adult fare than ever before. The family-oriented things are quickly disappearing, which is a prayer answered.

Yeah but the lingering affects from Vegas trying to market itself towards families is going to take a while to wear off.

Exactly - thats why its up to people like me to ensure that the good news gets spread far and wide.

Maybe you are the one who should go somewhere else. Head for your nearest gang infested street please.

Yeah, but gambling isn't legal there. And what is the pack family doing in the middle of a casino floor anyway? They're the ones that shouldn't be there.

The point is that there are plenty of places in the world to go for wholesome family entertainment, but there is only one Las Vegas. There is precious little for kids to do there, other than sitting around the pool. But for some reason people like to move their entire caravan through the casinos constantly, blocking traffic, and causing problems for the rest of us who have a reason to be there.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. So keep your sob story to yourself, crybaby.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

yeah, once i got to vegas on labor day, didnt think about it because i was traveling cross country, well the only place that had a room was Circus Circus...i think my friend nad i literally ran (while walking) over at least a dozen kids...we felt bad, but it was crazy

then i went once just so my g/f could see circus circus (wasnt staying there, but stopped by at like 1-2am) and there were kids running around everywhere unsupervised...it was freaking ridiculus

"hey you kids go run along and play, mommy and daddy have to go gamble away your college education!"

 

[EagleKeeper]

Circus Circus is heavily oriented to having a kid friendly area. They have a full fledge amusement area enclosed for children that includes all day passes.

GameWorks is next to the MGM is a large game/enterainment place. Built around quarters and video games and a rock climbing attractions for those that want toshow off the the GF, unurse if they have an all day pass.

There is a mini-golf/gocart/entertainment area on the west side of I-15 south of Sahara (regretfully,it is being closed in about a year for condo development).

There are two cart tracks in town. One below the Airport at Sunset and LV Blvd, the other at Rainbow/US95 and Lake Mead.

Most every casino has a small video arcade for children.

been gone for a while now.

You realize people live in vegas too, right?

 

[DaShen]

It was so much better when it was controlled by the mob

 

[HomerSapien]

I whole heartedly agree, even though i got to go there when i was 8 (just a 2 day stop through).

Although the kids are annoying, they really really really need to do something about the hispanic families lined up on the street shoving porn in your face as you walk by. I like porn, but when it comes from grandma, pops and the two little kids, there is something wrong about it.
