Have fun in VEGAS!!! LOVE that place....although I am partial to my hometown!!
I've been there before, but since its a family wedding and the kiddos will be with us, I'm kinda not happy about shelling out all that money. With two kids under 4 I can see many other places I can spend my money (LIKE DISNEY!!!!). Luckily we already have our Disney Passes and don't need to renew till next August.
We are just trying to figure out some free or low cost family options for children as young as mine. We are going to Bellagio Fountains, CIrcus Circus, and the lions at MGM. We are staying off strip at the East Side Cannery since that is where the wedding is and my BIL got great group rates. We have a rental car so we can go anywhere. My BIL is a big partier /drinker so all their activities are not kid friendly. Even their wedding is not too much family friendly. They are having alcoholic cupcakes for their wedding cake. We didn't want to bring the kids but we would not hear the end of it if we left them behind. My inlaws don't see them often maybe 1-2 times a yr since they live in OH and us in FL. My BIL lives in Vegas so that's why it is there. Airfare, hotel, car rental plus food, its running us around $1500. For us to go to a wedding that is ridiculuos, even if it is family
