| Supervised Child Care Centers in Hotels
To many parents, child care is priority one when traveling to Las Vegas. You'll be hard pressed to find much depth on the subject on the Internet and the void continues when arriving in Vegas. You'll find that most hotels that offer real child care are located off the Strip. Some are very close, a mile or two, from the action but still make exceptional temporary homes for both you and your children.
Most child activities centers offer multilevel jungle gyms with chutes and ladders, arcade rooms, Play Stations and Xbox consoles, movie rooms, play areas with Barbie's, Legos, coloring books, story books, arts & craft, phew...you get the point! Each center charges a nominal hourly fee for attending to your kids, normally around $6 per hour.
A quick hint: If you sign up for each hotels’ gaming rewards card and play casino games with it, you'll accumulate points that can be redeemed for, amongst other things, discounts at their child activities center.
Child activity center staff are normally very well trained and reliable, and because kids play in plain view of walk by traffic (though in an enclosed area) employees know they are in a fishbowl and behave accordingly since they never know when a parent or even worse a casino boss may be standing outside of the center watching the activities inside.
Typically, members of staff are licensed caregivers with the state and trained in CPR and first aid. Depending on your particular circumstances, when it comes to care for your child you may choose one of two routes. Firstly, you may elect to stay at a hotel that provides either in-house child activities services that allow you some freedom to enjoy adult activities within the hotel property itself. Typically these services are restrictive in that they require that the parent/guardian remain in the hotel during the time that their child is being cared for.
It's recommended that parents be astute and ensure that employees in these activities centers indeed carry through on their published requirements by contacting the hotel prior to arrival.
Normally, child activity centers have a list of requirements that involve the following:
*Proof of immunizations
*Children must be fully potty trained (out of pull-up and diapers)
*Children must be wearing socks
*Guardian must show valid ID at check-in and check-out
*There's a reasonable maximum stay for each session
*Parents must stay in building at all times while children are in their care
While these requirements many vary slightly from location to location, they are mostly fairly standard.
