FWIW I went through something similar last year after winning a Main Event seat and had very mixed feelings about leaving behind my wife to single-handedly look after our then 10 month old daughter. The other options of taking them out there were just not feasible at the time and, ignoring the flight time issues for a moment, how happy would a child of that age be in the Vegas heat or in the (often freezing) air-conditioned buildings.
Provided that your g/f is supportive about you going then you should go if you want to, and you are sure you can cope yourself with the separation. If you are sure that you're going to regret every moment of being over there then perhaps think again.
The worst time for me was the day after I busted out on day 2, which also happened to be my birthday. I felt extremely guilty on the day at 'wasting' the opportunity and could have quite easily jumped on the first plane back. In the end, I managed to get over this and enjoy the remainder of my stay (and I made some money in the cash games and regular Vegas tournaments).
Enjoy the time out there, find a way to stay in contact and make sure you do so each day, and take home a shit-load of presents!

like this post... we flew virgin with twins 11 months and a 24 month old. we were up early and down by the pool then at midday were back in the suite or on a trip. if we had not taken so many family it would have been hard work for my wife whilst i played the poker |

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
I think my main concern was that my son would miss me too much, but my fiancé (there you go Guy) thinks he'll be okay and like you say age wise it's not going to get any easier.
So fairly certain I'm gonna go for it. I know I'll miss him loads but it's only a week which isn't a long time to go to Vegas for.
