    So I am scheduled as of now to go to Vegas for 5-6 days play a WSOP $ 1500 and a Venetian Deep Stack.

    I would like to extend my trip to make a total of 12-14 days. However, I don't like being away from my child for so long. If I bring my wife and child what is there for her to do in Vegas with an 18 month old?

    Any suggestions? Staying at the Venetian comp so the room isn't the issue its her entertaining a child.

    Thanks.

    I am in the same situation. Last year I had the child at the Grandparents and just had the wife come out. This year its just me going. Really after 1 or 2 days and when they dont see you except for 9am-12pm they get really bored....

    Stayed at the Venetian and even had a close friend of my wife out in Vegas. She was still bored.......

    I honest to god can't think of one thing to do for an 18 month. I don't have kids or anything so I haven't exactly been looking out for that either. Surely there's some kind of play place around here.

    For the wife there are spa's and shopping pretty much everywhere on the strip

    Okay, I'll totally admit I misread that, bon. I read "have her come" for 4 days straight in which case I seriously doubted the OP would have any energy at winning at poker...

    I have a 3 year old now and I cant remember what the age requirements are (maybe 30 months) but the orleans has kid's quest. Google it and they have a site.

    My kids love it.....runs about $8 an hour.

    In vegas they do require shot records and stuff for first time visitors, so call and find out.

    I think the palms has something similar but its much smaller.

    Also check Red Rock. Its a drive but they have something for kids also.

    Again call and check the age requirements.

    Take you family with you, just remember to make time for them as you do poker. Everyone will have a great time and just in case you go on tilt, your child's smile can make it all better.

    Good luck in Vegas--

    ur better off going without them unless your wife is like ecstatic about going, shes the one babysitting the 18 month old in one of the worst places in the us to take a baby. (boarding on a plane with 18 mo babies in general seems retarded without good reason)

    18 months is still a freaking baby. They don't even know where they are, just throw some toys in front of them and cartoons. It's your wife thats gonna go nuts living in a casino for 2 weeks.
