In Las Vegas, the law regarding children in casinos is very clear: anyone under the age of 21 is not permitted to loiter in or around the gambling areas. Children and minors are allowed to walk through the casino only if they are on a designated "pathway" used to access other parts of the resort, such as the hotel elevators, restaurants, theaters, or shops. However, they are strictly prohibited from standing near a slot machine or sitting at a gaming table, even if they are just watching an adult play. Security guards are highly vigilant and will ask families to keep moving if they linger on the gaming floor. Many major resorts, such as the Bellagio or Wynn, have policies that limit strollers or require minors to be accompanied by an adult at all times. While Las Vegas has become more family-friendly with attractions like the High Roller or the shark reef at Mandalay Bay, the casino floor remains a strictly adult-only zone, and parents who allow their children to linger near gambling activities risk being asked to leave the premises by hotel security.
