Kids Quest at Santa Fe Station Hotel Casino - Las Vegas

Kids Quest at Santa Fe Station is an hourly drop-in child care center inside the hotel casino on North Rancho Drive, for children 30 months through 12 years of age. It costs $14.00 per child, per hour, and every activity on the floor is included: the Sports Zone, Karaoke Star Stage, video games, the iPad Station, KidsCraft, the Interactive Train Table and The Lab. Food from the café is extra.

There are no reservations for regular care, so pre-register online before your first visit to shorten check-in. Bring photo ID, because staff match bar-coded labels at pickup, and pack socks since shoes come off. Families who live in Clark County need to hand over immunization records before the first visit; out-of-county visitors get a grace period of up to 15 days with proof of residency.

Stays top out at 5 hours a day, and a child staying 4 hours or more needs a meal purchased. Parents may leave the property, as long as they tell staff where they will be. It opens at noon Monday through Friday and at 10:00 AM on weekends, and stays open until 1:00 AM on Friday and Saturday nights. Kids Quest says hours may vary, so call 702-658-4966 before you go.

There are a few ways to save: a 15% military discount, casino comps, a 10% discount with a same-night movie or show ticket stub (Santa Fe Station has a Cinemark Century 16), and a free 16th hour after 15 paid hours. Birthday packages start at $180.00 for the birthday child plus five guests.
