Family-Friendly Hotels in Las Vegas and Henderson
Las Vegas is more than the casinos of the Strip: this list of 34 family-friendly stays leans towards suites with kitchens, outdoor pools and quieter locations off the Strip, many of them in Henderson to the southeast. Element by Marriott Las Vegas Airport, rated 9.3, offers family rooms and a year-round outdoor pool, and Home2 Suites By Hilton Las Vegas Southwest I-215 Curve, rated 9.2, has kitchenettes in its family rooms. Near the Strip, GetAways at the Jockey Club, 300 metres from the Bellagio Fountains, and The Carriage House, each with more than 2,500 reviews, have outdoor pools and hot tubs. Several high-rated listings are private condos.
Las Vegas sits in the Mojave Desert of southern Nevada, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The Strip gathers the large casino resorts, the shows and the Bellagio Fountains, the Sphere stands just east of it, and the older downtown keeps the Fremont Street area. Henderson and the southwest valley are quieter residential areas, and Red Rock Canyon lies just west of the city for a day outdoors.
Suites, pools and quieter bases for families
Families in Las Vegas usually choose between two bases: condo-style suites close to the Strip, at the Signature at MGM Grand, Palms Place or the Jockey Club, and quieter hotels with kitchens and pools in Henderson, Green Valley and the southwest valley, a drive from the casinos. Children cannot linger on casino floors in Nevada, so non-gaming hotels and suites make daily life simpler with kids.
The best-rated hotels on the list sit off the Strip and are built around family rooms. Element by Marriott Las Vegas Airport, rated 9.3, has family rooms, a year-round outdoor pool and a buffet breakfast. Home2 Suites By Hilton Las Vegas Southwest I-215 Curve, rated 9.2 from more than 250 reviews, adds kitchenettes and accepts pets. Residence Inn by Marriott Las Vegas Airport, rated 9.1, gives each family room a full kitchen and includes an American buffet breakfast, and Hyatt Place Las Vegas at Silverton Village, rated 9.1 from more than 440 reviews, has an outdoor pool, a hot tub and an American restaurant. TownePlace Suites Las Vegas North I-15 and Homewood Suites North Las Vegas Speedway, both rated 9.0, have kitchens and year-round outdoor pools.
Close to the Strip, GetAways at the Jockey Club, rated 9.1 from more than 2,800 reviews, sits 200 metres from Crystals Shopping Center and 300 metres from the Bellagio Fountains, with an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a sauna. The Carriage House, rated 9.0 from more than 2,500 reviews, is a short drive from the Strip and offers rooms with a kitchen or kitchenette, an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a tennis court. For a larger resort, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a MICHELIN Key Award hotel rated 8.9 from more than 3,300 reviews, has a rooftop pool and a spa. The Berkley, five miles from the Strip, has full suites with kitchens, an outdoor pool and barbecue facilities.
Several of the highest ratings belong to private condos rather than hotels. Penthouse Studio Suite at the Signature MGM, rated 9.6 from 30 reviews, has a kitchenette, a balcony with city views and access to a hot tub and a heated pool, while MGM Signature, Centrally Located, Strip Views NO RESORT FEE, rated 9.1, adds a year-round outdoor pool. SPHERE IN 4K, rated 9.6 from more than 90 reviews, has a rooftop pool and views of the Sphere and the Strip, and the 2100 SqFt Penthouse Suite, rated 9.3, offers family rooms with private balconies. The Palms Place units add balconies and kitchenettes. Their scores rest on far fewer reviews than the large hotels.
Henderson, the separate city southeast of Las Vegas, supplies a large share of the list. Aloft by Marriott Henderson, rated 8.9, has an outdoor pool and an outdoor fireplace, and Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa Casino, rated 8.8, runs a full spa with a steam room and offers free parking. Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Henderson, rated 8.6 from more than 840 reviews, has a year-round outdoor pool and hot tub, three miles from the Ethel M Chocolates Factory and Cactus Garden. Hampton Inn & Suites Las Vegas-Henderson adds a dedicated family room, and Best Western Plus Henderson Hotel, with more than 1,700 reviews, has a heated outdoor pool and pet-friendly rooms.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a family trip, I would base myself off the Strip at Residence Inn by Marriott Las Vegas Airport: it is rated 9.1, every family room has a full kitchen, breakfast is included and the outdoor pool is open all year. My advice for families who want to walk to the Bellagio Fountains is GetAways at the Jockey Club, rated 9.1 from more than 2,800 reviews, with an outdoor pool and a hot tub.
