Historically, the massive, chaotic, and highly adult-oriented world of the casino was the absolute worst place for kids. The dark, smoky casinos, the adult atmosphere, and the lack of kid-friendly entertainment forced parents to leave their kids behind when visiting a casino. However, as the multi-billion dollar casino industry rapidly evolved, the casinos realized they were losing a massive demographic: families. Today, some of the absolute largest, most breathtaking casino resorts in the entire world have explicitly, aggressively designed their massive, multi-billion dollar properties to cater perfectly to both the high-stakes adult gambler and the easily bored, highly energetic child. These are not just casinos anymore; they are massive entertainment cities featuring water parks and roller coasters, and huge arcades. If you are planning a family vacation, but you still want the thrilling opportunity to hit the blackjack tables, here are the best family-friendly casino mega-resorts in the world.

The Atlantis Resort, Bahamas: The Bahamian Mega-Resort

When it comes to blending high-stakes, luxurious adult casino gambling with incredible family entertainment, the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas is the undisputed global king. The massive, highly secure casino floor is absolutely stunning, featuring beautiful glass sculptures and high-stakes table games. However, the actual physical casino is just a tiny, incredibly small fraction of this sprawling tropical compound. The property includes a massive 141-acre water park with incredible pools, and a highly terrifying, incredibly famous vertical drop slide that goes right through a pool into a pool filled with live sharks. While the parents are safely enjoying a high-stakes poker game, children can walk through a massive aquarium designed to perfectly resemble the lost, ancient ruins of Atlantis. It provides a completely flawless, highly separated balance where adults can gamble in peace while the children are exhausted by the water park.

The Historic Budget Option: Affordable Family Fun

If you are specifically traveling to the highly expensive Las Vegas Strip on a strict family budget, the historic Circus Circus resort remains a legendary staple for cheap family fun. While the physical casino floor is definitely much older and lacks the highly polished, modern luxury of the Bellagio, it completely makes up for it with its massive, overwhelming focus on children. Right above the casino, the resort features the 'Midway,' an incredibly large, highly chaotic carnival arcade where acrobats and clowns perform free circus acts while you play carnival games. Attached to the hotel is an indoor amusement park behind the casino. It features massive looping roller coasters, carnival rides, and a laser tag arena, protected from the Las Vegas heat. It allows parents to entertain their kids before hitting the highly affordable blackjack tables at night.

It houses Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and the incredibly strange, highly immersive 'Minus5 Ice Experience.'. Because every room is a massive suite, families have plenty of space.


• The Tribal Mega-Resort: This massive casino in Connecticut is a highly impressive, fully contained family destination.
