My wife and I are going to Las Vegas the first week of August with our young boy, who is 3 1/2 years old. This is going to be the 13th time we visit Vegas but the first with a child. We will stay at our timeshare at Hilton Grand Vacation Club (the one on the Strip). I know that there are some expensive attractions in the casinos for the family, but I would like to know if there are other free or less-expensive activities we can do in Vegas with our toddler. We're renting a car for the 2 weeks, so we can go off-Strip.

What? The answer to the 7/18 QoD said chips shouldn't be used for tips. I have never seen a cocktail waitress tipped in anything BUT. So, how do they escape the rules regarding not gambling in their places of employment?
