I used to think it was ok, as long as the kids have something to do. That was back when Vegas went family friendly. Unfortunately, some folks spoiled it for everyone by over-indulging in gambling while the kids slept at the casino. I remember seeing tv videos of kids sleeping on the steps outside casinos while the parents were inside. Kids were also left in cars and rvs, unattended for long periods of time while the parents were zoning in front of slot machines. Sad, but true. Another problem is, no matter how powerful the filtration, there’s always second hand smoke. Maturing lungs can’t handle that. The biggest problem for kids is that alot of casinos draw in people with chronic illnesses. Addicted gamblers often neglect their own health, and there are other folks on oxygen, etc. The children can get pretty sick if they are in a casino very long.
No, children don’t belong in a casino.
