Me and my wife love to take poker vacations. No we have a baby thus we need to arrange babysitting everytime we go somewhere.
Please, tell us about Casinos with good poker rooms and drop in child care.
Anywhere in the USA works, or anywhere else in the world.
Of course places where we can also do stuff as a family are the best option.

Sands Bethlehem has Kids Quest. I'm not sure how exactly how it works.

Hard Rock Hollywood Florida -15$ per hr in room

Orleans in Las Vegas has a Kid's Tyme upstairs.

Depends on how old the kids are.

Foxwoods and Mohegan both have game centers for kids who are old enough to be on their own.

I don't think that's the same as "drop-in daycare" though.

Find a casino close to IKEA, drop the kids at their free daycare and go play poker.

Great suggestions. Any info about Florida, California or Las Vegas?

Many hotels in resort areas have access to babysitting services. Check ahead of time before you book the hotel. I'll note that there are limitations on how long you can leave the infant.

Alternatives include leaving the baby with relatives or friends while you go. My wife and I never took our children on a gambling vacation until they were of legal age. Finally if you are both cash players, you can take turns caring for your baby while the other plays.

Any poker players coming to WSOP with small kids?
What do you guys do:
Drop in daycare( any suggestions)?
Nanny( could get very expensive)?
Leave your spouse in a room with baby or take turns?

Not take the kids to LV for the WSOP. Next option is to take turns being with your kids.

The problem with daycare or nannies is that after playing for 12+ hours, you can't return to your room and relax. Your kids are going to want to interact with you.

+1. I wouldn’t bring our kid to Vegas unless I was renting a house and willing to split parenting duty with my wife or pay for somebody coming in during the day to babysit. But even then one of you has to be there by the late afternoon / early evening unless you want to pay two shifts each day. That means only one of you can play a tournament at any given day.
I don’t know what age we’re talking about, but with a small child that shouldn’t be an issue because the kid is sleeping when you get back.

If they are getting back at 2 am, their young child is going to be up by 6 or 7 at the latest. If they traveled from the east coast, they'll be jet lagged and up around 3-4 am. Maybe the OP's kids are used to being ignored by their parents, but there's no way my kids at that time were going to stay quiet/not want to be around me if they were awake. If they bust out early, they could be back earlier I suppose.

IKEA's service is only free for the first two hours I believe ... and I don't think it would be too wise to leave their property if an issue pops up.

I know of no 'baby' services in the Midwest and only one has a Kidquest area.

The alternate play idea seems a bit tedious since you will probably want some family time as well? Hard to get in a decent session for both of you, much less a tournament, and perhaps do all the other stuff you want to do. You could alternate nights maybe. I can play some of my worst poker when I know I'm on a tight timeline. GL

Just to make sure, my IKEA comment was a joke.
The rare occurrences I go to bed late, I get up in the morning and take the kid to school before going back to bed.

In Vegas that would probably mean to get up to let the first babysitter in, but then you need a second one to cover from the late afternoon until you get home from playing. Or a very committed live-in nanny who’s willing to work the full day. When I was a kid, our nanny would travel with us to Spain for 3 weeks every summer but mainly to support my mom and make sure nobody was bothering my dad while he was reading his book at the beach..

If you really want the whole family to travel to Vegas, rent a house and maybe pick one or two tournaments that both of you play “together” and have a second babysitter (and an emergency option) on call in case both of you make it to dinner break. The remaining days, one of you plays while the other one spends time with the kids. Otherwise, you’d be better off with the kids staying at their grandparents or somebody else while you and your wife goes to Vegas.

I love 2+2. I can’t stop laughing at this threD

Drop off the kids at an hourly rate. If they're there x amount of hours they get fed.
