Viva La Baby


It's kind of refreshing to know that there's more life to Vegas other than gambling and partying which I have to say what I did when I was younger.  Now that I have Lukas it was really surprising to me how many parents bring little ones with them and how accommodating everyone else is to a baby.  I am starting to realize that you can travel with a child so as long as you submit to all the changes and be super cautious on your surroundings.  For me no matter what Lukas gets the same amount of meals and naps and that his down time is a MUST! It puts me at ease to know when his needs are met and when I'm at ease I enjoy.  Having said that, I also had to learn to let go of things a little and make certain adjustments so I could have fun as well.   This trip we took advantage of the awesome restaurants, shows, and shopping Vegas offers.

Here are a few tips I want to share when traveling to Vegas with a Baby
  • Don't hang out at the Casino because of the smokers and well - it's just not a good look!
  • Bring a higher SPF cause of the heat and avoid strolling in the strip during the highest point of heat (for me it's 10:00 am - 3:00 pm)
  • Bring a carrier if you can - it's sometimes easier to navigate through the strip w/o having to use an elevator
  • Be prepared to cut all of your sight seeing short for freak outs.  To Lukas this means he's had enough so a down time is a must.  Vegas has lots of Family bathrooms or Companion Bathrooms, take advantage of it if you are far from your room.
  • Bring your own baby food and formula.  These items are usually super expensive over there.
  • Buy a big water jug keep it in your room and just refill your water bottle to go.  It'll save you tons of money!
Hope this helps!
