We went 2 years ago and brought our son when he was 15 months old. We had him at the beach everyday and got a babysitter after dinner everynight so we could go to the casinos. We had a GREAT time and we're going back this sept/oct for 2 weeks with 2 kids this time LOL. Our boys are 1 and 3 this time around and we can't wait. I definitely recommend bringing the little one along and getting a babysitter for some alone time. Hope this helps
