I would not take your child - especially one that young. Many casinos are smoky. None of the shows would be acceptable for her - some of the noise might scare her. Not to mention - if you're walking while carrying her - you don't want a drunken fool bumping you or throwing up on either of you. (Both of which have happened to me.) A stroller is also VERY difficult to maneuver in such crowded conditions.
Tell him to go with his friends OR see if a grandparent wants to baby sit for a weekend. =) |

There are people on almost every corner passing out flyers with naked women on them. There is smoking in nearly ALL casinos and restaurants (the non-smoking section is a joke).
If you guys would like to have time alone, bring a friend along to watch the baby in the hotel room. The way we do it is to work in shifts. While you and hubby are out, the friend can stay and watch the baby and then you can switch it up. Then maybe the baby and hubby can sleep while you and your friend/cousin/sister? go out on the town. |

I think you are very wise to at least consider this fact. I live in here in Vegas and am frequently appalled at certain situations I see involving parent and child on the strip. Most of Vegas tourists come here to see the strip. That means a lot of walking (you could bring a stroller) and perhaps sitting at slot machines and poker tables. If your daugther likes going to the mall or even enjoys very long walks it might be okay. All in all I would say not to bring her but you know her better then I do. |

Maybe she is to young to go to Vegas. Get a trusted babysitter and then you two take a vacation. |

I just got back from Vegas and I had the same thought each day when i walked down the street and saw people pushing strollers....why in the world would you come here with a baby/child??? Vegas is Sin City...gambling, drinking and partying! If you want to vacation with your child, that's what Disneyworld is for!!! |

I think no,because u can look away 1 second and your child could be gone. |

I have been to Las Vegas and it is pretty crazy on the Strip. So, I say let your husband go with his friends There are too many alcohol drinks and smoking in Vegas. Don't. |

This is definitly not a city to bring your kids to. They hand out cards with pictures of prostitutes with phone numbers and prices right on the strip! However, if the child must go, there are some fun rides in the area that you can bring a kid to. However, if he really wants to be with his daughter (which is admirable) he should just bring her to disneyland! |

I think you would be missing out on the fun vibe that vegas offers, my husband and I were there last year. My daughter was 6 mos at the time we left her with my parents for four days and then came home. We had such a great time but we were excited to come back to her. Most of the people are on vacation when they go to vegas so most of the people we met were happy(except for the pit bosses man they have bugs up their butts) So I don't think people would mind a kid there, however, I think you would have more fun if the both of you went, if your nursing, start pumping for the next few months before you go, freeze your milk and see if your family could help out for a few days I think 4 days would be enough for you to have the vegas expierence without missing your baby to much. |

I don't think you should bring your child. You'll be too busy taking care of her that you'll probably forget to have some fun...Try asking someone to take care of her for those couple of days such as your mom, or a good friend. If you can't find anybody then possibly they have some type of daycare place in Vegas to take care of her while you guys are out? |

It's up to you. I'm pretty sure that there are family events and things but it's mostly an adult party city. Your husband will probably want to gamble and party and you can't really do all of that with a 4 month old baby in tow. |

I live and have grown up here in Vegas. It is not as crazy and bad as everyone says. Yes, there are bad areas, but that's just like any city. We have a lot of family things, not just adult things. We have museums, the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay (My 5 year old loves!) a dolphin show at Mirage, a tiger walk-thru at MGM and free circus acts at Circus Circus. Also, a lot of the casinos have day care (not sure what the age limit is) like all the Station (Texas, Palace, Boulder and Sunset, just to name a few) and Sam's Town. So, I feel if you are willing to leave your 4 month old with capable strangers, you can still experience the fun of Sin City and still be safe! Just to some research before you board the plane.

If I were you, it would depend on what i was planning on doing. I mean if you are planning on family time then yes, but if you are planning on spending alot of time in the casino's then i wouldnt. But hey its all up to you :) good luck! |

Your husband's been watching too much CSI. Honestly, if you're only going for a couple of days you'll probably only walk along the strip once (during the day) and in the evenings it'll take you a whole evening just to walk from one side of a casino to the other (they're ginormous!), then you can walk across to another one via a covered walkway etc. I'd say go for it! FYI - I stayed at the MGM Grand, which connects to New York New York. We walked to the monorail during the day that links three main casinos (Luxor, Mandalay Bay and one other I can't remember). Just don't veer off the main strip of the main casinos and I'm sure you'll be fine. Not sure about babysitting mind you! Have fun whatever you decide! |

I'm a local and I would say it depends on what you want out of Vegas.
Smoking is allowed in all of the Casinos and people smoke A LOT! There are things that you can do with kids but a newborn is a different story. You guys may not have that much fun with a baby. |

I wouldn't if I were you, maybe find someone you really trust like family member to watch the baby for yall |

Personally I have been to Vegas and I also have two young children my youngest is 3 months and I would personally never take them to Vegas it is a crazy place and people can get even crazier. |

Not really a good idea to bring your daughter to Vegas. I know you think you can't stand to be away from her but you will enjoy the adult alone time you will be able to have with your husband. Once she gets old those time will be few and far between. Vegas just isn't a place for any kid at any age. |

I think you're right but you can still go and see tours. If you don't want to be in any commotion though, you should probably not be out at clubs or up a late at night a casinos or bars. You know what I mean? |

My opinion is don't take your child, leave your kid with a adult you trust. If your child has a god mother go with that. But whatever you do don't let your husband go with friends, Vegas can get pretty wild. Best Wishes! |

I went there with my parents when I was in second grade. Its not that bad at all. We toured the strip at night and everything. I never saw anything that crazy |

Hi....I am just going to say what I think.....I don't think young kids belong in bars or Vegas. I was there in October, and the people I saw with strollers and small children, well they looked to be having the least amount of fun to me. |

NO! Not an appropriate family destination. Why doesn't your husband quite being so selfish and settle on a nice trip that would be good for the whole family not just himself? |

Your daughter is youbg enough that nothing that happens in vegas will leave a laaasting impression on her. Go have fun take pictures and when she is older you can show her that you took her shopping in Vegas.
Your husbands wants you to go with him. Enjoy it, their is no suspeciosness going down and what happend in Vegas--- Your will be there to witness. |

I'm sorry to say. But you social fun life is over for a while.
If you husband can't stay away from you and your child then why does he need to go to Vegas? If its a business trip go by himself if its not don't go.
Plan a trip in the future and go then when the child is older.
I remember I was in Vegas on New Years and a woman was walking thru the streets with her stoller crying because of the mayhem and crowd when it struck midnight.
All I said to myself was "Know what you life is over and you should of kept your legs closed." Thanks for coming no pun intended |
