"Little kid" friendly and other considerations

My wife and I used to visit Vegas ALOT, 5 or six times a year. But, since having a child that has droped to 3 times in 3 years. The first time was great as we took the grandparents and had plenty of time together playing our favorite games and casinos. The next two trips were not as much fun as we had to trade off staying with and entertaining our toddler.
Despite this we have the "hankering" to go and are thinking about three or four days after T-giving.

So here is my question for the LVA pros on this forum.
Where should we stay with a three year old? My first thought is a good pool, the child LOVES to swim, but the end of November might realy be too cold for outdoor swimming. Does anyone know of a Casino/resort/hotel with a good heated or indoor pool?

Does anyone have any experience (or second hand, or third hand knowlege) of the hotel/resort babysitting services?

Thanks for any and all help with this!
As a fellow gambler, my initial advise is to keep the kids at home. There are no kid-friendly casinos - just places that tolerate them. However, I do understand the yearning to get back to Vegas at any cost.

The Orleans has day-car available - not sure what the rate is or what documentation is needed - you should be able to find out on their website.
Are the grandparents available to tke them off your hands?
We have taken the grandkids a couple of times and the boys love going to Kid's Quest at Sunset Station. They are a little older (6 and 8) but they love the video games and activities that are offered there.

A few of the Stations properties have Kid's Quest.

Even with a heated pool, the outside temperature might be a bit cool for swimming. I don't know of any properties that have indoor pools.

At home. You're parents now, saving for a college fund. You no longer have a life.

As a wise man once said, "You don't have a baby, the baby has you".
Yes, leave the child at home, IMHO this is not the place to easily cart around the little one. That being said , When I was young, my parents told me, you had to be 21 to be in LasVegas, the first time I went there "age 22" I was very unhappy trying to navigate down the sidewalk without walking ontop of some child whom did not know why he was in " the adult capital, of the world "
google is a wonderful tool and it comes sans any negative comments about bringing your kids to vegas. i promise you, there is nowhere in the world other than google that allows you to inquire about kids in vegas without hearing "LEAVE YOUR KIDS AT HOME"

(ps - please leave your kids at home)

first result i got when i did a search.

You need to ask yourselves: What do we miss about Vegas? If it's the late nights and gambling together and partying, then I think you know what you need to do. If you're saying it's the bright lights and the bustle of the Strip, then you need to come to the same conclusion.

Vegas is not inherently a lousy spot for kids. How could it be? Hundreds of thousands of people live there and at least two or three of them have kids, I'd suspect. (Now those kids facing the prospect of public schools there, now that might indicate it's a lousy spot, or the economic uncertainty.) But that's not the Vegas of tourists, now is it?

If you want to get away for a trip with your kid and Newport Beach or Hawaii or Orlando don't work, then book a room at a non-casino or essentially non-casino property like Loews Lake Las Vegas or the JW Marriott Las Vegas, and go from there. But November will be tough from the weather perspective because there are only so many indoor activities for kids and outdoor activities are what kid trips should be about.
