Las Vegas Dining for Kids...

Vegas Dining Introduction:

Las Vegas Restaurants are plentiful on and off "The Strip".  Nearly every variety of International Cuisine is available, so finding food to suit your family's tastes isn't a difficult task.  However, rock-bottom prices on quality food subsidized by Casino Gaming is mostly behind us... unless of course you are Comped for spending loosely on the Casino Floor.  Keep in mind Las Vegas caters to the Adult Visitor, so most of the Fine Dining establishments are NOT Child friendly. It's always a good idea to call ahead.  People come to Las Vegas to get away from the Kids, so be courteous and you'll receive courtesy in kind.

This Las Vegas Dining and Restaurants page is to highlight some of the better known "Theme" based dining attractions. Expect to pay $6 to $10 per person for lunch and $10 to $20 per person for dinner. Buffet choices are listed towards the end of this article.  These are our suggestions; this list is by no means intended to be completely comprehensive.
