From the article:
* According to LVCVA, 10% of visitors brought under 21 children. 56% of those were with children between 6 and 12.
* With the change in the TI show and MGM removing the theme park, there is a lot less family-friendly entertainment.
* Suggestions for those still traveling with children: Bellagio fountains, Paris LV Eiffel Tower, Bellagio art museum, sidewalk cafes at Paris and Caesars, Excalibur in general, Venetian gondola rides. For shows Cirque shows _except_ Zumanity and Lance Burton.
* Better option, drive to the Hoover Dam or Grand Canyon or Red Rock Canyon.
I haven't been there in years, but IIRC kids under 18 aren't allowed inside the Bellagio unless they are staying in the hotel.
