Methodology

There are thousands of restaurants in Las Vegas, so picking the best options for families with children may not be that easy, particularly for picky eaters. That's why there were several factors I've taken into consideration. 

A central location or one that's close to entertainment venues, malls, and hotels is definitely the most practical choice. Next, I checked for wheelchair accessibility and the availability of high chairs, takeout, outdoor seating, and a kiddie menu or items generally loved by kids. I then looked those selected restaurants up on major review sites and only kept the ones with the highest ratings and mostly favorable reviews from parents, highlighting the most popular dishes. Additionally, I made sure to include various concepts and cuisines that cater to all tastes, budgets, and dietary restrictions.
