* I thoroughly respect his choice to keep children away
from casinos. I think what I see at the Excalibur and other hotels
where children are coaxed into playing games for chances to win prizes
and exposed to gambling is just plain wrong. Keep kids at home,
not in a casino

* There are plenty of properties
which cater to children, (ie Circus Circus and Excalibur). This is
a private business, so Mr. Wynn has the right to exclude whomever he
wishes. This is America. If people don't like the idea they can
boycott his resort. I am sure it would have no impact on the resort. if
someone believes otherwise, why don't they open a no adult facility
(not)! Howard Kendall
* Most definitely, I think
Las Vegas itself is not a place for minors, let alone the casinos. I
have actually seen a young child sitting on his fathers lap in a corner
of one of the large casinos pushing the buttons on the slot machine,
where was security? where are the controls? once a minor gets through
the doors. This is where the nonsense would stop at the front door which
I think is a good idea This is the only city in the world for adults and
lets keep it that way. Lynda Loipersbeck Toronto Canada
* I believe kids should not be
permitted in the new Wynn Casino. Ronald Fitzke
* Unless there is access to
shops and restaurants without children going through casinos, then
minors don't belong in casinos. I have bumped into young children that
were watching games being played when I turned around from a table.

* I totally agree with
Steve Wynn's decision at the Bellagio and I think that same rule would
be wise at his new place. A casino is an ADULT playground and having
children around can alter normal adult behavior when in this
environment. When on vacation in Vegas, we get to do thing and act
unlike what we do at home. It's our playground. What happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas. Joe Koch DeKalb, Illinois
* I love my children but
knowing that others do not I couldn't imagine having them in Vegas.
Vegas is for adults; By Adults. It's a getaway location for adults not a
bring the family together location. Keep it up Mr. Wynn! Frank

* I absolutely believe Wynn has
the right not to allow children into his property if he so chooses. A
statement like this always has to be made with reservations, of course,
there are exceptions to everything. For the most part, however,
Wynn's new establishment resembles to me a giant country club. It is an
exclusive place to those who want to pay the higher prices for the best
in luxury. It's not that the children would be annoying, it's that they
would be bored! It's not fair to children to prance them around an
upscale hotel with restaurants' whose cuisine includes dishes many of us
can't pronounce. Children enjoy color, energy, music, and foods that
they are comfortable with and enjoy. They should have pools with slides
and fountains in which they can splash and play. Wynn's place is
designed for adults. Period. It's not fair to bring kids there and it's
not fair to adults who want a place to escape to without having children
running around burning off their youthful energy. Tim Phillips
* Yes, I agree. Vegas is not
the place for children. Sheila Leask
* No kids in Vegas. Send
them to Disneyworld. GJ Smith
* Definitely keep the kids out of
Wynn's. Las Vegas is for adults. Disneyland is for kids. Let's open a
casino in Disneyland and see how they like it. You can't walk down
the strip any more without being hit by a baby buggy. Please turn Vegas
back into an adult town. John & Margie Amon
* Yes I do. When I
come to Las Vegas I prefer to children are not around. Several years ago
even walking the sidewalks one was swamped with strollers and then they
moved inside around the slot machines where you can't even get through.
This is a town for adults to play so leave the kids and the strollers at
home. Take the children to a place FOR children. frazzled
* I agreed with Steve Wynn
by not allowing children into the Bellagio, I hope he decides to enforce
the same guideline with Wynn Casino. C'mon folks, this is an adult
vacation land - take the kids to Disneyland, we deserve our own
vacation! Debbie Maycock Groveport, OH
* If this rule worked, it
would still be in effect. While bother implementing such a restriction
when it's been proven that - it doesn't work. jharker
* I think it is fair because
when I go to Las Vegas it is to get away from kids. I thought it was
wrong when they tried to get Las Vegas kid friendly. It is for adults
and should stay that way, Take the kids to Disney World. Nancy
Marion, Ohio
* Unless there is entertainment
provided for them, casinos are not places for children. Smoking and the
adult games that have no interest for them should discourage parents
from taking minors there. Phyllis Moore Las Vegas, Nevada
