Las Vegas Things to Do
-
Fremont Street Experience
I went here twice when I was staying in Vegas, I found it so much better then the main vegas strip. The drinks are cheaper, the pubs had more "alternative" music playing. Two pubs had a cover band playing 90's songs. There's a lot of lights and it looks really old school, they even had an 80's tribute band playing in the street, it was great! I...

Treasure Island Hotel - Casino
I heard they were going to close this show and I guess they have. Kind of sad and end of an erra. We have been in this casino several times and seem to have some pretty good luck when we did gamble. The Free live performance in front of the casino was pretty cool with huge live props such as a pirate ship that was very enjoyable. Yet, I guess...

New York-New York Hotel & Casino
The Chin Chin restaurant at New York New York hotel is on the ground floor between check in and the lifts. This was our only buffet venture at breakfast, not cheap at $14.99. Service not at all great, we were greeted on arrival, and seated, then our server got us tea and coffee, and asked us to go ahead. He never came back to see if we wanted a...

For Adults Only
I collect stamps, coins and postcards. In Las Vegas I almost decided to start a new collection - girl's cards. Each minute, in each corner, discreetly, a guy slided to my hand a card with a beautiful woman as naked as allowed, with friendly suggestions. In a couple of nights, with full pockets, I only received five repetitions - 4 blonds and one...

Fremont Street Experience
Hundreds of people with their noses pointing up, and the wonderful technology serving money. From time to time, a sort of movies flows in the several hundred meters long roof, providing two shows: the show itself and the animation under it. Not to be missed... it's free!

Caesar's Palace Hotel & Casino
Like many palaces in Las Vegas, this is one of the most uniques places Caesars has. Called the Seahorse Lounge aka Mermaid Bar, it has 1,700 gallon aquarium that is the centerpiece and this beautiful mermaid sculpture that graces the back of the bar. A very lovely place to just sit and have a cool drink.

Las Vegas Transportation
-
Bus / Shuttles
The shuttle from the airport to the Strip is the most economic way to get to your hotel. It only costs $7 one way or $13 round trip. Or the Super Shuttle which is $8 to the strip. Either one is open 24 hours so you can catch them at anytime. You may have to stop off at a few hotels before you get to your own though. Airport shuttle service and...

Monorails / Train
Getting from one Las Vegas "Strip" hotel casino to the next is an easy walk, sometimes there are even connecting inside walkways. Going from one casino you may like to another you want to visit just may not be the one next door. Walking might take a long time to get from one to the other you wish to visit; for these Hotel Casino Resorts have large...

Limousine / Taxi
Before I start I wanted to say that I have been given advice and guidance from many sites when travelling to ensure my holidays would leave me with the best memories and experiences. Its disappointing that I have to submit this comment on my recent experience in Las Vegas. My family of 6 recently travelled from Australia to Las Vegas (Aug/Sep 2015)...

Malls / Outlets
Boulevard Mall, like the comedian Rodney Dangrfield would say, "This mall don't grt no respect!" But the once-glorious mall from decades ago is on a rebound to the top. The new owners are undertaking about a $25 million renovation and it shows. Great new businesses are in the mall along with pretty standard anchor tenants, including some mot so...

Speciality Shops
As with the HRC at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, I am listing this under "Shopping", since I came just to buy pins. This location on the Strip opened in 2009, is three-floors of interactive exhibits, including the famous "Rock Wall', and features the world's largest Rock Shop. The cafe was hopping, and I noticed they have patio dining (which I'm...

Forum Caesars Palace
Even if you don't want to shop, but come in here and enjoy the beautiful architecture. I cannot say enough how truely how beautiful it is in here. I like to just walk around and take it all in. I never get tired coming into this part of strip. Yves Chantre P-A-R-I-S perfume and lotions.

Tipping / Money Matters
If you are sitting at the machines or the tables and the waitress comes and asks you if you would like a drink don't forget to tip her. Yes the drinks may be free but if you don't tip the waitress she won't come back, but if you tip her one dollar for each drink she will return.

Tourists / Residents
The neighborhood of Henderson, about 15 minutes drive from the strip, is very quiet and very beautiful. All the houses are painted the same and the roofs are similar all throughout. My father-in-law's house is in Henderson. He bought the house a few years back and moved to Las Vegas from Hawaii because of his illness. He loves his house and his...

Casinos / Gambling
When I play poker, I always tip the dealer $1 if I win. $2 if it's a huge pot. They work a very monotonous job. And if you believe in luck, you don't want to mess it up! Also as a side note, drinks are free at some casinos. Tip the waitress too. They have tough jobs as well.

Las Vegas Warnings and Dangers

Places to Avoid
BAIT AND SWITCH. Our room for the 3 nights was filthy, with tape on the ceiling left over from god knows when. No water pressure. Room was offered as upgrade, which makes me fear what the non-upgrade would have been. carpet turned your socks brown. "Non-smoking" room stunk worse than the casino where everyone smoked. No disclosure of deposit policy...

Adult Advertising
Watch out for the porn panderers. These people stand just about everywhere they can get away with on the Strip and aggressively try to shove advertisements for adult entertainment in your face. Imagine someone taking a rolled up newspaper and smacking it on their hand next to your ear - this is essentially what they will do to grab your attention...

Scams to Avoid
Do not entertain or speak to the ones who are giving out the porn cards. They will try and thrust them into your hands regardless of you being with your partner. Best course of action is to walk by and not acknowledge them.

How to Save a $
Sugar Factory at 3655 Las Vegas blvd will not serve you a glass of tap water. If you want water, you have to buy a 12oz. Bottle for $2.00. Also they charge a consession fee (cnf) of 3.5% of the bill. Bring your own water! I walk around with a bottle of water anyway. Nothing you can do about the cnf. Maybe choose not to eat there like I do.

Street Hustlers / Cabbie Kickbacks
The "free" limo service to any strip club is NOT free. Take a cab if you don't have a car. When you're leaving the strip club do NOT let a bouncer or doorman talk you into the "free" limo service. By the time you leave, many of you are drunk & they know it. The "free" limo service still isn't free. The bouncer / doorman gets a kickback for every...

Las Vegas What to Pack

Dress for Weather / to Impress
I went in mid to late October a few years ago. It was warm to hot during the day (85-95 degrees), but by 8:00 - 9:00 pm it usually dropped back into the 70's and even into the 60's towards midnight. I had a pair of jeans, a pair of lighter weight slacks, and a couple long sleeve shirts and didn't have a problem. My wife, who is always cold,...

The Lost City of Overton was a surprise we found at the end of the drive through The Valley of Fire. There is a small museum full of recued relics from the days when the Hoover Dam was being built. You see, when the water of the Colorado River pooled behind the dam, it would bury the evidence of the indiginous people, the Basket Maker people and a...

Golfing
Personally, its golfing in Vegas at its best! Pauite Golf resort has 3 courses: Sun Mountain, Snow Mountain, and Wolf. All of them have fantastic views of mountains, complete with water holes from desert springs. But more importantly, there are no homes along any of the fairways or anywhere near the resort for that matter. Why? It's out in the...

Gambling Advice
Be sure to sign up for comp cards at any casino chain that you visit. In the past, I have gotten free t-shirts just for signing up. Also some offer free play deals. The free drinks! Although it seems that free drinks aren't as easy to score as they use to be. Better luck can be had in the downtown area.

'The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 4.2-mile (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County.' It's one of the most popular destinations for tourists. Most of the attractions and shows on the Strip are located on the hotel casino properties and make Las Vegas the world's most exciting city.
