Family Hotels in Las Vegas City

Nearly 40 million tourists visit Las Vegas, Nevada, every year. This is a very large number compared to the population of only 600,000 citizens. So it is not a big surprise that some of the world's largest hotels are located in Las Vegas and Clark County. Interestingly, the major parts of the most famous road of Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Boulevard better known as the Strip, do not belong to the city of Las Vegas.

Many guides about hotels in Las Vegas are focused on the large and famous superb Las Vegas hotels at the Strip but even with several discounts many families cannot afford to stay in the Bellagio or the Venetian. Therefore, this guide is more related to family hotels in Las Vegas. There are some relatively cheap alternatives even at the Strip which are well-known as family-friendly Vegas hotels.

One of the most famous hotels for families is the Excalibur Hotel. The Excalibur is a modern 3 star hotel that was built in 1990. With around 4000 rooms it was the world largest hotel at the time of the opening. The Excalibur is designed as a huge castle and named after the legendary sword of King Arthur. Nowadays, it has the largest family pool of all hotels.

Another very famous family hotel in Las Vegas is the New York New York hotel. One of the largest attractions of the hotel with the design of the skyline of New York is a big roller coaster in front of the hotel. Within the large hotel complex, the New York New York has around 2000 rooms as well as many affordable restaurants and several family and fun pools.

There is one hotel in Vegas located on the Strip which is hardly mentioned in the reviews of hotels. That is the Flamingo hotel. Although it offers very competitive prices and has a nice and family-friendly pool, it is hardly recommended by any hotel guides. With its around 3500 rooms the Flamingo is among the largest hotels in Las Vegas. It is located directly at the Strip and you can reach easily all the famous attractions from there.

If you are looking for the best Vegas hotel at a moderate price level, you should consider the Monte Carlo hotel. It is absolutely family-friendly and has a large pool and entertainment area. Since it is located next to the New York New York, you can get to the roller coaster there easily. All major attractions at the Strip including the different movie and musical theaters can be reached easily. The rooms are very clean and offer high comfort for affordable prices.
