I'd probably recommend Hawthorn Suites (with their 2-bedroom, 2-bath suites with an additional sofa bed in the living room at reasonable rates) or another similar hotel were it not many steps below the Wynn.

OP : what is your budget per night ? There are many many nice suite options in Vegas --- but, it might be a bit easier to make suggestions if you have a per night max (as well, is it midweek or weekend ?) If your budget is $600 to $1000 ++ per night, I think we could all come up with a good number of recommendations on the strip. :D

What about the Venetian?
 

It's been a few years, but the rooms at the Venetian were massive. If you wanted to have your children in the room, I'd see no trouble fitting them in there.

That said, I think that a connecting room or 1 bedroom suite would be a better option.

Also don't just wait for cheap offers to come in the mail. Check out the individual hotel websites for deals. In addition, many hotels will match rates found on Travelocity, Hotels.com, Expedia or Orbitz - and you'll save the service fee charged by the website.

The Wynn oh my well I will try and be nice here...I can not imagine with all the hotels in Vegas that you would take them here. I do not think that they would even let you have 5 people in a room and the pool area is very adult oriented. I can not think of one thing that there would be for them to do at this property. I really hope you think of someplace else more to there liking and save the Wynn when you can leave them at home.
my positive input is the MIrage
Venitian
Rio
MGM Grand
new york new york
The above hotels have plenty of things that they would enjoy doing.

As others have said, negative on Wynn. Venetian will for sure accommodate the family.

At the other end of the spectrum, Excalibur double rooms will fit an entourage.

Not sure when "Summer" is to you but Harrahs has $59 room deal in August. For me I'd rather step down a notch (if the cost of two rooms at the Wynn was too much) and have two rooms and preserve my sanity. Five people one bathroom-No way !!

Fully agree!

The sofas in the rooms don't convert into beds at the Wynn. They do at the Rio and the room is bigger though.

But I'd say that Duchy has the best suggestion, two cheapish rooms attached, and leave the center door open.

I wouldnt go with THE hotel, the suite that I saw was tiny. Overall space was much smaller then the room at the Wynn, and the bathroom was joined onto the bedroom, so they'd be walking through your room all the time to get there.

I agree. Nothing for kids this age to do at Wynn and would definitely do 2 rooms anywhere. The benefit for kids this age staying at the Wynn, is the mall is just across the street. That is where they would probably want to be , because as said, pool at Wynn very adult oriented.

LOL! Ok, when we were there, it was December and there was no one swimming. The pools were awesome but I really didn't think about the fact that it wasn't well suited for kids. Would be fun to lay out by the pool for me, but I think the kids would like a pool that would be fun to play in and swim in. And ofcourse there is the issue of the "adult" side to the pool there at the Wynn. Would hate for them to stumble upon that. I have three boys. I will probably look into another option on the strip that has a better pool and room option. When I have made my previous trips to vegas, we have never used the pools. This has never been a priority. We like to gamble, eat out, etc. I don't think that I would consider Excaliber or Harrahs though. Excaliber's casino is so dark and the hotel is old. I really prefer one of the nicer propertys like listed in this post. I'ts really hard to step back after you have stayed at some nicer places if you know what I mean.

Ah, back to sanity... :D :D :D

As mentioned, Mandalay Bay would be a good option. Also don't forget Bellagio - it's very Wynn-like (Steve Wynn built 'em both) and it has a massive multi-pool setup that is far more kid-friendly than Wynn (though not as Disney-like as MB).

I'm with other posters: Three teenage boys? You MUST have two bathrooms.

I 2nd the RIO idea, since 2 connecting rooms at RIO give you a decent amount of footprint, and large number of the RIO rooms have been recently renovated. In addition, you now have Lucky Strike Bowling onsite; which is a pretty good option to have with 3 boys and a kid friendly pool area. There are also still a number of nights (Mon-Thurs.) in the $109 to $140 range, which makes 2 rooms a pretty good bargain, of course, dates are key, so YMMV. But, a lot has to do with your per-day budget, since Vegas has so many great options for Suites or Suite/Room combinations. I tend to agree with many of the above, that the posh adult atmosphere at Wynn is usually lost on 3 teenage boys.

or --- you could just flash back to the 60's rates at Caesars boy, those petite suites are quite the bargain -- lol ---

I agree with THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay being an excellent choice. You will have two bathrooms, two separate room spaces (living and bedroom - with a door that actually closes - throw some roll-aways in the living room for the kids), and access to the Mandalay Bay pool (with wave pool and lazy river).

As far as location, there is also a tram that goes from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur (and Luxor) that runs continuously, and from Excalibur you can walk acroos the street to MGM and NYNY.

I must be missing something here. If you have already stayed at the Wynn, why are you asking if the rooms are large enough for your family? Don't you already know that from personal experience? :confused:

I echo other comments that the Wynn is, perhaps, the last place to take kids that age.

Well, most hotels have different size rooms. Last I went, my husband and I went alone so we got a resort room. I know that there are larger rooms there, so this is why I ask.

As of today, my plans have changed a little. Will only need a room for 4. My oldest child will not be going with us. Thanks for all the great posts here. Looking at Mandalay Bay and some other places mostly on the strip with nice pools for the kids(ages 13 and 11).

if you are looking for a fun pool, then maybe the hilton grand vacation club at the flamingo might work for you. not upscale, but they can use the fun pool at the flamingo and also the smaller private pool at the hotel. you can get 1 or 2 bedroom suites with kitchens (might be good for boys). it is slightly off the strip, but attached by walkway to the flamingo which is on the strip. trying to cram even 3 family members into a room that is not a suite, is never a good idea IMHO. i have had 5 family members in an embassy suite's suite and with one bathroom (even with 3 sinks), it can be a fight for the loo.
