Vegas is not the best place for children to visit, especially that age, unless with relatives.
There is a curfew on The Strip, no minors after 9 p.m. without parents but who would let their child the age of yours alone anywhere. Anywhere else in Clark County it is 10 p.m. but not when accompanied by parent.
Where you stay will determine what you can do. If you go slightly off the Strip (check the web sites) to South Point, or Orleans or Gold Cost (Boyd properties) you have movie theatres and bowling. Circus Circus has a children's indoor amusement area and arcade under a dome; they have a motor inn next to the casino with a great pool.
Children cannot run around casinos NOT sit with the parents as they gamble. You have to check with each casino about child care availability.
Children are not generally allowed in most showrooms but then the shows are adult content. BUT the goust show at the Excalibur is for families and a nice dinner included.
Mt Charleston is a nice hour drive outside Vegas and fun for the family. There are museums including one about the Test Site, Liberaces, Wax Museum, etc., all family entertainment.
Go to www.Vegas.com or www.LasVegas.com and find lots of fun things for the family to do.
Enjoy my city!

There really aren't curfews as long as the boys are with an adult. Family friendly properties: Excalibur (midway downstairs features carnival-type games and arcade), The Orleans and South Point offer bowling alley, child care for 3-9 year olds, movie theater, and arcade, and Circus Circus (theme park). But, people tend of overlook the Natural History Museum located ALL the way Las Vegas Blvd (past Fremont) and the Lieds Children's Museum. A MUST see with kids your age. Your boys will get a kick out of the LIFE SIZE dinosaurs at the LV Natural History Museum. Amazing place and it's a GREAT learning experience, too.

First off, they certainly may go into the casinos, they just aren't allowed on the gaming floor.
Between the hotel pool, the interesting "free" shows outside the casinos at night, and the attractions there is plenty to do for a couple of days. There is enough left over from the "Vegas is for Families" flop to be very entertained for a few days. (top of the Stratosphere, Circus Circus, several roller coasters, New York New York, Mandalay Bay Aquarium, Lions at MGM, Moving Statutes at Caesars, Sigfried and Roy's Garden and The Mirage...)
But that wasn't your question. I don't believe there is a curfew for children with their parents.

There is a lot of things for kids to do these days. Like Circus Circus etc. I have taken my 3 year a few times. No curfew that I know of.

Your kids won't be able to go into any casinos. What are they going to do there all day?
