    Momo, thank you for reading my lengthy report. Regarding my vegas mssg brd t-shirt, I forgot to mention that when we were flying home, the guy being frisked by security in the line next to us called over to me about it. He said he was a member, so a couple people noticed the shirt! It was fun.

    Great report. We've been taking the kids since they were that age as well. We are planning a last minute trip for the end of the month. We went for 4th of just and stayed at MB. I was thinking of trying Bellagio because of the pools and cabanas. Your post sealed the deal. Bellagio it is.

    Synth pop, thrilled the report was useful for you! Bellagio was a good choice with the kids. I know people always want to pigeon-hole families into a place like Circus Circus, but that is definitely not our style! Thanks again!

    Great report! I too am a breeder and I've brought my youngens to Vegas before. Everyone always has a great time. You learn to tune out all of the snobs that point at your stroller on the strip and say "How would bring a toddler to vegas"...

    Grid, thanks for your comments. I was just reading your blog and your AC report, fondly remembering eating at Cuba Libre at the Trop. Now that Borg is MLife, we might go back in the near future.

    Thank you for reading. In retrospect we did do a lot, although we didn't get to many things we hoped to.

    Great basically low gambling report!
    I have stayed at Bellagio many times but do you need a "guy" to have access to VIP lounges?
    I have been in MB, Monte Carlos and NYNY but seems like at check in they would let me know.

    @joehypnosis what a great TR! Thank you for sharing such details about your trip with kids. I love reading about other's Vegas trips with children. We've started really doing Vegas in earnest with our three girls now that they're a bit older (7,8,9), but seeing your 18 month old made me nostalgic for the two trips we made when our oldest was a baby and before the other two were born. I was too chicken to do Vegas with three babies/toddlers, so we took a 7 year hiatus from Sin City.

    Interesting comments about the Four Seasons. We had seriously considered staying there because of all the special things they touted for kids. I (and my girls) would have been really disappointed to have had to ask for the fun kid stuff. So good to get a glimpse of your cabana at MB too. We have not taken a trip with the girls without doing a cabana at the pool. This is a lifesaver with kids. My husband and I rented one at Bellagio when it was just the two of us for my 40th birthday. Our view looked very similar to the one you had and our price was $350 two years ago. I found the cabanas at Bellagio to by pricey but so nice. We love the Bellagio, but have been a bit nervous about staying there with kids since it just doesn't seem like a kid-friendly place, so it was awesome to read about your stay there with little ones!

    I'm totally with you that there is so much to do in Vegas with kids! My kids keep asking to go back. I also have to agree with you on how exhausted you feel being there with them. My husband isn't a gambler, but I find trying to squeeze in casino time is so hard when the girls are with us. I also miss having my hubby be able to hang out in the casino with me or at a bar, since he's back in the room with the girls. Still, traveling to Vegas with kids is great!

    You have a beautiful family and happy birthday to you and your wife!
