Las Vegas, Las Vegas Strip Guests Asked to Keep the Kids at Home
While one Strip resort is doubling down on families, more are going 21+ and the city has a message for parents.
KIRK O’NEILOCT 12, 2022 9:05 PM EDT
The Las Vegas Strip became known as a gambler's haven in the 1940s after its first resort El Rancho Vegas opened and was shortly followed by other hotel casinos, such as the Flamingo.
The Strip expanded in the 1950s and 1960s as more hotel casinos rose, including the New Frontier, Riviera, Sahara and Sands, many of which were funded by organized crime along with Wall Street banks, union pension funds, endowments and other sources, according to History.com. Tourists began filling the resorts, drawn by the slot machines and gaming tables, as well as big name entertainers like Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, and pianist Liberace.
Las Vegas continued its reputation as a gambler's mecca through the 1970s, but a difficult economic period hit Sin City in the early 1980s fueled by competition from Atlantic City, N.J.'s, newly legalized casino gambling; a national recession and economic downturn; and a tragic fire at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in November 1980 that killed 85 people, according to a University of Nevada Las Vegas Center for Gaming Research paper.

The Family-Friendly Era Begins in the 1990s
The Las Vegas family-friendly era began in 1990 with opening of the family-themed Excalibur Hotel and Casino and in 1993, MGM opened its Grand Adventure theme park. More family-oriented attractions such as the Luxor Hotel and Casino's Nile River Tour and Treasure Island's pirate show "Battles at Buccaneer Bay" contributed to the family atmosphere on the Strip.
Some hotel casinos, such as the Riviera, Stardust and Tropicana didn't adopt the family-friendly campaign, and by the mid 90s, the Tropicana launched an anti-family advertising campaign that said "they got strollers, we got rollers."
As the new millennium began, the family-friendly pirate show ended in 2003 and was replaced by a more adult-themed "Sirens of TI" show that closed in 2013.
Also in 2003, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority decided that the family-friendly focus was not working and launched a new adult-oriented marketing campaign based on "What happens here, stays here." As this campaign proceeded, many of the family-friendly attractions on the Strip disappeared, except, of course, for the always family-oriented Circus Circus casino that opened in October 1968.
Reviving an Adult-Friendly Campaign
As the 20th anniversary of the convention and visitors authority's "What happens here, stays here" campaign approaches, the business organization is reinforcing its adults-only focus with a new advertising campaign that encourages parents to leave their children at home when they visit Sin City.
The humorous advertisements include one with a father explaining to his son how broccoli is the favorite food of Las Vegas and that there are many dentist offices in Las Vegas that children regularly visit, according to Casino.org.
The ad ends with a phrase: "You can bring your kids to Las Vegas, but why would you."

"I wondered when the "family friendly Vegas" image was going to get old...."...
probably when liability for the brats got out of hand. too many asshole parunts letting the dumplings run around like feral piglets

CERTIFIED HOSEHEAD!!!
people (especially women) do not give ONE DAMN about what they inflict on children and I defy anyone to prove me wrong
Dysfunctional relationships almost always have a child. The more dysfunctional, the more children.
The selfish wants of adults outweigh the needs of the child.
Some mistakes cannot be fixed, but some mistakes can be 'fixed'.

Adoption agencies have strict criteria (usually). Breeders, whose combined IQ's would barely hit triple digits, have none.

I don't understand why Vegas needs to be family-friendly in the first place. The whole reason people go to Vegas is to gamble. Guess what kids can't legally do?? I mean, I'm sure plenty of brats got conceived in Vegas over the years, but that doesn't make it family-friendly. Not to mention the fact that there are TONS of venues available to breeders and their calves that are very family-friendly. But of course, breeders don't want anybody getting away with enjoying themselves in a brat-free environment, so they have to go after the precious few adults-only sanctuaries.
Where are breeders getting money to gamble with in the first place? Don't most of them croak about how broke they are because nobody told them kids are expensive? If Vegas becomes overrun with brats, the people who go there expecting to get away from screaming kids will take their money elsewhere to lose. If other gambling havens get flooded with sprogs, people will just turn to online gambling.
Even that probably wouldn't stop people from hauling their little mistakes there. A kid could somehow wedge his head in a slot machine and die from suffocation, the parents would sue the casino, and instead of taking it as a hint that maybe kids don't belong there, parents would still happily drag their kids there and let them run loose. They'd probably do it in the hopes of losing their kids, either via a "tragic accident" that only a child could cause, or a random Chester walking out with their kid. Then they could sue because the casino wasn't properly child-proofed enough or because of inadequate security - not only do they dispose of their kids they probably never wanted, but they could make a few bucks at the same time for their "emotional distress."

Cambion, many years ago some kid was murdered by a fucking bastard in a casino just south of Las Vegas. Driving truck, we were very rarely down that way but it was unique in that there were two casinos on either side of the Interstate. 15 if memory serves (it is fading sadly). It had a shuttle mini train or something that ran on on overpass back and forth.
Apparently some scumbucket bottom of the barrel trash breeders (I include the fucking moo in this simply because she spread for the first set of balls that came along) who were separated... well it was the duhtards turn. All he wanted to do was gamble.. and he dumped the kid off in the day care that was there (I think there was one) but after closing time the fucker couldn't be found. He was there, think he just chose to ignore it because 'they'll watch my cumstain'. The kid ended up wandering around, went into a mens room and was murdered.
Of course, cue the outraged mooing and bellowing of the cretinous returds over their precious angel... that child did NOT deserve to die but these devolved troglodytes of putrid sub cockroaches set this into motion years back. That child did NOT have a good upbringing at all because of his garbage gonad donors but of course, all the sympathetic lowing and braying from the herd of jackasses carried on as if they were incarnations of all the saints.
here is a link... this is a recall from the case which was 20 years from the time of this article... which puts the crime back in the late 90's... you know, what I find totally angering about reacting to wanting to mutilate and destroy the perpetrators is all the bleeding hearts that crawl out from under their toilet lids and whine about how the poor fucker may have had a baaaad childhood...

I’m sure the problem was twofold. One, breeders have a habit of bringing their children into an environment and then abdicating all responsibility for them, resulting in brats running amok and ruining the experience for everyone around them. Two, the high rollers who are there to SPEND don’t want to be bothered by children, so once the casinos become a daycare they just take their money elsewhere.

I used to live near Vegas, and because so much was funded by gambling revenue it was an economical trip for a non-gambling adult like me Casinos would have buffets and steak dinners as loss leaders, because people would stay there and wind up gambling. A few.times I went to see shows and concerts, had really good food, etc. All possible because an overwhelming majority of guests gambled.
When they started going kiddie friendly, I knew the prices of everything would go up because kids aren't gonna contribute to gambling revenue, while at the same time resorts were paying for all those famblee attractions. Sure enough...food, lodging, and gas prices went up.
