Welcome to Las Vegas! 🎰

Stay on the Strip (or nearby) – It’s where most of the action is, and you'll save time on transportation.
Walk, but wisely – The Strip looks walkable, but distances are deceiving. Wear comfy shoes and use the monorail, trams, or ride-shares when needed.
Sign up for casino loyalty programs – Even if you don’t gamble much, you can get discounts on dining, shows, and rooms.

Buffets aren’t what they used to be – The famous buffets are pricier now, but some like Bacchanal (Caesars) and Wynn Buffet are still worth it.
Book restaurants in advance – Popular spots fill up quickly, especially celebrity chef restaurants.
Drink for free while gambling – Cocktail waitresses offer free drinks if you’re playing (just tip them well!).
Bring a refillable water bottle – Vegas is dry, and buying bottled water constantly adds up.

Book big shows ahead of time – Cirque du Soleil, Adele, and other major acts sell out fast.
Look for last-minute deals – If you're flexible, check sites like Tix4Tonight for discounts on same-day shows.
Free attractions still exist! – The Fountains of Bellagio, the Mirage Volcano (before it’s gone), and the Fremont Street Experience are all must-sees.

Outlets have great deals – North and South Premium Outlets offer discounts on designer brands.
Avoid convenience stores on the Strip – Everything is marked up. Instead, hit CVS, Walgreens, or grocery stores off-Strip for snacks and drinks.
Gambling? Set a budget – Only play what you're willing to lose, and cash out when ahead!

Uber/Lyft > Taxis – They’re cheaper, but taxis from the airport have a flat fee to the Strip.
Monorail & trams – The Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip, and free trams connect some hotels.
Don’t rely on public buses at night – The Deuce is fine during the day but slow at night.

Spring & Fall – Best weather (March–May, Sept–Nov).
Summer = Extreme heat – Expect 100°F+ (38°C+). Stay hydrated and plan for indoor activities.
Weekdays are cheaper – Hotel rates spike on weekends, so visit Sunday–Thursday for better deals.
