Tips for Travelling in Vegas

Remote check in Las Vegas has become quite popular. If you are staying at casino/hotels such as Paris, MGM Grand, Bally’s, Caesar’s Palace or the Flamingo, you can check in once you get to the airport. You’ll be given your room key at the airport and you can go straight to your room without having the hassle of lining up at the front desk.
To find out what’s on, check out one of the many free guides that tell you what is going on at any given time in Las Vegas. “What’s On” magazine will tell you about all of the buffets, shows, restaurants and malls in the area. You can also find advertisements for tours for the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Death Valley.
Always have a bottle of water on hand, no matter where you go in Vegas. Because of the dry air of the desert setting, you can lose more fluid than you are used to, especially it you’re not used to a humid climate. Always stop and get some water or a drink every few hours to rehydrate yourself.
Just as you should when travelling anywhere, always be careful with your purse or wallet. This is especially important when in groups of crowds. At the Fremont Street Experience, there are a lot of people standing around and it is a pickpocket’s heaven. Somebody may accidentally bump into you. Always check your pockets after any encounters with strangers.
Parts of Vegas can be quite dangerous, especially for women. Don’t try to walk from Fremont Street back to the strip. You will walk through area where there are not a lot of people, even in the daytime. Ladies, be especially careful as this area is prone to criminal activity.
When crossing the street, be sure to use the crosswalks. You can be fined for not following the signage, even if you are a foreigner. Also, wait for the WALK signal before you cross. Local people will fly down the strip and you could be injured. Many of the people driving cars are also tourists who are sightseeing while driving and not paying complete attention to the road.
