What is your advice for planning a vacation to Las Vegas?

Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F Best Comment

Don’t go in the summer it’s usually ungodly hot out.
Don’t drink on the strip way over priced.
If you’re using a rental car obviously don’t leave anything of value in it, lots of break ins.
If you do drink Fremont st at binions bar is strongest for least $
Keep in mind that Las Vegas was NOT built on winners if/ when you gamble.
Try to remember that it might be a playground for adults & the city is happy for all the tourism money but respecting where you are is never a bad thing.

@Eddiesolds I'm making a note. Thanks!

@wasityou Have fun out there.

I like to stay in the middle of the strip, preferably Bellagio if you can afford it. A lot of the airlines, like Southwest and JetBlue have good vacation packages.

@LyricalOne No, nothing more than short trips out of one casino on the strip to another really.

@wasityou Hoover Dam is a great day trip. A boat ride on Lake Meade is also really nice.

@LyricalOne I like strip too.x

Only bring the money you can afford to lose.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@xixgun there's always ATMS and credit cards

xixgun · M

@cherokeepatti Leave the cards locked in your room (or at home)

wasityou · 46-50, F

@xixgun I completely agree!

FEMALENATURIST74 · 46-50, F

Take lots of money or don't take too much!

wasityou · 46-50, F

@jackson55 We've been there a couple of times. Haven't seen a show yet. Seems we should plan to do so if we go again.

jackson55 · M

@wasityou I find the shows much more fun than gambling.

wasityou · 46-50, F

@jackson55 I may someday too.

go to reno instead

wasityou · 46-50, F

@Amylynne I really do prefer Reno but I'll be in a group and none of them agree.

Amylynne · 26-30, F

@wasityou im there usually once a year, friends and The Burn close by.
not this season tho

wasityou · 46-50, F

@Amylynne Best of luck to you when you do return.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

Do it when it cools down...

wasityou · 46-50, F

@cherokeepatti That's beyond my control for the next trip. Thank you though.

@wasityou I've gone in March on Spring Break and saw snow from the 13th floor of the Golden Nugget, by the time it hit the ground it melted. Went a week before Thanksgiving and it was really mild and a cool front blew in the last day and needed to wear a jacket (breezy cool).
