Sin City?
More like Kiddie City! Call me old-fashioned, but I still think drinking, gambling and prostitution should be child-free activities. Nonetheless, the mid-week rates of $37 at the Monte Carlo in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip are hard to beat. For a less Disney-fied experience and a chance to shoot craps without being run over by a stroller, try the downtown casinos. We got a great weekend rate at the charming, antique-filled Main Street Station, which is steps from Fremont Street yet much quieter than the casinos directly above the music stages. For an even more gambling-oriented experience, the casinos on the state line in Mesquite, NV offer a chance to brush up on table games and poker tournaments at a cheap price. Viva Las Vegas, but next time I'll blow my money in Reno!
