They should. Ban screaming infants.

no way i would even think about taking my baby to a casino. too many degens and smokers plus theres another million reasons. even if they had a daycare or something there is still no way i would do it.

Take your baby to Bonnaroo instead

The locals places do. A blackjack dealer at Red Rock once told me that parents will occasionally leave their kids at the Kidquest and then lose all their money gambling, not leaving themselves any to pay for their kids' stay. Now THAT'S a degenerate.

To those offended by the notion of daycare in a casino:

I really don't see how it is any different than utilizing the daycare facilities at the gym, the employer's office, a church, or any number of other places that offer daycare.

Maybe it initially offends some sensibility for some reason such as social bias against gambling. In the end though, the kids aren't gambling, they (presumably) are not exposed to second hand smoke, and are kept in a safe environment supervised by qualified personnel.

I don't have any conceptual problem with a responsible, well run daycare co-located with a casino.

Per the Mohegan Sun web-site, they offer child care for kids as young as - brace yourself - SIX WEEKS OLD (http://www.mohegansun.com/staying/ki...yberquest.html).

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Marge becomes adicted to slots and brings Maggie along to the local casino. Two hillarious parts were when Maggie swallows a bucket of quarters, starts burping them out, and a passer by says "hey, this kid's paying off" and when Maggie gets onto the craps table by accident and the dice roller sees it, saying "hey, there's a baby on the table, that has to be good luck" and everyone starting pilin money on the table. Link anyone?

What is the name of the Day Care Center at your casino, "Little Crappers"?

I find a childcare facility in a casino distasteful, but I think that's an irrational response. Where do we draw the line and why?

- What if the daycare was a mile away from the casino but had the same name and ownership (eg. Harrah's Childcare)?

- What if you simply used a random daycare that was really close and on the way to the casino? What if it was attached but owned by nuns?

- What if the casino's daycare had the best facilities and staff in the city, would you use a worse place just to feel better about it being non-casino related?

- What if the casino's daycare was not only better than the competition but also cheaper?

- Is it okay to use a babysitter instead while you go gamble? How is that different? Should you never ever gamble when you have minor children in your care?

- What if the kids were being watched by your parents? Is it then okay to go gamble? Are your parents trained in child CPR and first aid?

I mean come on, responsible gambling is not a problem any more than having a drink or watching a porn with your spouse while the kids sleep. No one's arguing (I hope) that a parent should never gamble until the kids move out, so at sometime small kids have to be babysat/watched while the parents go out and do adult things like gamble or eat at a nice restaurant or whatever. How is the daycare being attached to the casino a bad thing? Just because it enables potentially bad behavior? If you argue that, then likewise a lot of things should be stopped such as all gambling/drinking/etc. You can't just say "I'm responsible enough to handle temptation but other people aren't so this has to be stopped."

do they hold onto the baby as collateral?

FYP

You're out of control sir...way out of control.

Ha! Didn't know that. Art imitating life, I had that conversation with the dealer a couple years ago.

was that actually an episode of CSI?

i dont typically watch that show but that would be an amusing episode to watch.

unfortunately yes

Yes... I know I've seen this somewhere, I just can't rememeber where... maybe Caesar's AC? Maybe? Not sure.

In anycase... I think I'd feel like a lowlife if I left my kid there on a consistant basis lol. Maybe once in a lifetime if the sitter backed out on us and we had a weekend planned.. maybe ok.... maybe.... but I can't imagine the quality of a casino daycare.... I would really fear!!!!

But I do agree that this is probably an irrational response- maybe the daycare is really great. I think I just fear daycare in general for one, and for 2- I would probably fear more of what my inlaws and freinds were to think of me too. They would probably have the same reaction i had, and I wouldn't be able to take that.

errr don't bring an infant to a casino

I agree with JasonInDallas and others who said that casino daycare shouldn't be per se offensive, but bringing kids around the casino floor to hang out while you gamble probably shouldn't happen even if it were within the casino's rules.

I wish I could find the Samuel Jackson "read the mother****ing thread before you mother****ing post" .gif file.

FYI this was an attempted level.

How many PMs did you receive asking for more information?

id expect a daycare in a casino to be better than an average daycare.

i know we've all had our bad experiences at some point in the casino environment.

but typically the level of service is higher in a casino than its non-casino counterparts.

Go find it man, still wouldn't change my mind. C'mon, seriously? The guy's nickname is Wasted Years. If you can't drop the kids off at grandma's or the babysitter's house then game over. Unless you're an employee of course, or play 2-4 LHE.

Only if the casino allows members of the FGA... Future Gamblers of America

typically you can bring children and infants into a casino but they must keep off the gambling areas... I see kids and babies at the borgata all the time. Moms push the strollers and go to the shops.
i've seen moms trying to keep the stroller in the walkway and sit at a machine but security comes over and asks them to get up.
Also, the pools are allways filled with kids and babies ... thats probably where they spend their time.

I f---ing hope not
