Historically, the massive, chaotic, and highly adult-oriented world of the casino was incompatible with a family vacation. The dark, smoky casinos, the heavily intoxicated, aggressive crowds, and the complete lack of wholesome, child-friendly entertainment forced parents to leave their kids behind when visiting a casino. However, as the multi-billion dollar casino industry rapidly evolved, the casinos realized they were losing a highly lucrative, massive demographic: the family unit. Today, some of the absolute largest, most breathtaking casino resorts in the entire world have explicitly, aggressively designed their massive properties to cater perfectly to both the high-stakes adult gambler and the easily bored, highly energetic child. These are not just casinos anymore; they are massive entertainment cities featuring massive indoor water parks, highly complex roller coasters, and huge arcades. If you are planning a family vacation, but still want to play blackjack, here are the best family-friendly casino mega-resorts in the world.
