I’ll say it plainly: if you’re bringing kids to Las Vegas, Henderson is where I’d stay. You get the pool, the space, and often a full kitchen — without the sensory overload of the Las Vegas Strip and its all-hours neon. Henderson sits just southeast of the airport, a short drive or rideshare from everything on the Strip when you want it, and genuinely peaceful when you don’t.
Need a cheap hotel to stretch your dollars? A 3-star hotel to stay in comfort and accrue chain hotel points? A top-flight resort for a restorative getaway with a kids’ club on-site? Henderson has something to fit each of these family travel niches.
Highlights
- 16 hotels across three Henderson neighborhoods, from budget chains to full resorts
- Multiple suite and full-kitchen options for families who want to self-cater and save on dining out
- Off-Strip pricing and a quieter pace, with Las Vegas still a short drive away
Scroll on down to our list of Henderson hotel options and find the one that’s right for your family’s trip. (Note: All these hotels include free parking and free wifi unless otherwise noted.)
SheBuysTravel Tip: Flying into McCarran/Harry Reid International Airport? Henderson is southeast of the airport. Planning to take a cab and landing on Friday afternoon? Lines can be long—have someone in your party get in the ground transportation line while you get bags. Renting a car? The airport’s car rental center is super user-friendly.

Want to ensure you have water-play access for kids during a family trip, without giving up the polish of a real resort? Then the Westin Lake Las Vegas is the way to go.

Then, you’ve got several excellent onsite restaurants so you can enjoy a relaxing dinner without having to drive afterwards. And, there’s the onsite spa. And all of that’s before we’ve even considered the lake location! Next time my low-price flight notification pings for Vegas, I’m booking a room at The Westin.
