Las Vegas Babysitters

Last update: August, 2018

Please don't take anything on this page as an endorsement or recommendation.  I just collected information I found on the net in an effort to be helpful.  Ultimately, I'm not responsible for your children, you are.  Thanks!

At what age can kids stay by themselves?

According to a child welfare agency in California:

Age
Stay alone?
0-6
Never
7-11
Possibly, for short periods.  The National SAFEKIDS campaign recommends that no child under 12 be left home alone.
12-13
Possibly (judge on a case-by-case basis), but not overnight
14+
Yes

Hotels with childcare facilities

Notes:
  1. Nevada law requires immunization records for kids going to a childcare facility, so bring them.
  2. Most of these hotels are nowhere close to the Strip.
  3. All the hotels below charge $9-10/hr., have a 5-hr. max., and close circa midnight.
The List:
  1. Close to strip:  Orleans Casino
    All the hotels below are in the same casino family and run Kids Quest-branded facilities, so here's the single web page about that.
  2. North:  Santa Fe Station & Texas Station
  3. East:  Boulder Station
  4. West:  Red Rock Casino
  5. Southeast:  Green Valley Ranch & Sunset Station

Practice gambling with play money

Before you throw down your hard-earned cash in a casino, PRACTICE FIRST!  Learn the games with play money where it doesn't cost you anything if you lose.  Seriously.

You can play Bovada's games (below) right away without registering for an account.  Most every other online casino makes you give up your email address just to play the fake-money games — ugh.  That's the main reason Bovada is the only online casino that gets advertising space on my site.  (When you see the registration box, you can cancel it and proceed to the game without registering.)
