Common Tourist Mistakes in Las Vegas
Вставка

- Avoid these 30 common mistakes and you’ll have a better and cheaper time in Las Vegas Nevada. I asked fellow Yellow explorers on what mistakes they’ve made going to Las Vegas and the response was overwhelming. Watch this video to learn from others and you don’t have to make the same mistakes! The biggest and most common mistake is drinking too much. Pace yourself. Don’t go so hard the first night you’re there that you never get out of the room the next day.
2 - Eating too much. Yes there’s alot of buffets… and no… you don’t have to eat a buffet for every meal.
3 - Gambling too much
4 - Thinking that you’ll make money. We call it “Lost Wages” for a reason!
5 - Acting as if what happens in Vegas really stays in Vegas. It gets posted on instagram. That could make an awkward conversation at work the next day!
6 - Trying to walk the whole strip in one day. It’s longer than it looks! And the area between the Circus Circus and Downtown can be quite sketchy. Especially between Stratosphere and downtown.
7 - Only using your feet for transportation. Your feet will be hating you. uber, monorails, trams, bus.
8 - Wearing high heels for a strip walk… or boots… or the worst… high heel boots. Ladies, bring some roll up flats and some bandaids.
9 - Thinking that the Rio Hotel & Palms are a close walk from Caesars. It's a REALLY long walk over the I-15 over some really crappy overpasses. I hope you enjoy car fumes.
10 - Never venturing off the strip… take an uber off strip to experience the real Las Vegas with cheaper and more delicious restaurants and bars
11 - Thinking the bus down the strip will be faster than walking. On a Friday/Saturday night you feet down the strip will be faster. A taxi or uber is a better wheeled option as they’ll go on the back road.
12 - Taking taxis at all. I heard this alot. Taxis in Vegas are expensive… many of the drivers are rude, and they’ll longhaul you, especially from the airport. There’s a phrase… it’s called getting “tunnelled”
13 - Booking hotels on a Saturday night with a concert or big fight - you’ll be paying 3X.
14 - Making a reservation in advance and NOT checking back before the 72 hour cancellation window. A lower rate might be available.
15 - Going on a whim and waiting until 9pm the day of to find a reasonably priced hotel to stay at.
16 - Not factoring in all the sneaky fees in to the actual price. Resort fee, parking fee, taxes. Oh… and sometimes the $100 deposit isn’t per stay, it’s per night.
17 - Thinking Mandalay Bay is close to the rest of the strip. Thinking Stratosphere is on the strip. That “cheap” room quickly gets expensive with all the taxi and uber rides you’ll be taking.
18 - Assuming the resort swimming pool will be a relaxing experience that you have all to yourself.
19 - Going in the summer. The temps of 118F will make you regret it! There’s a reason why hotels are cheap then!
20 - Thinking you don’t need sunscreen for whatever reason.. Oh you do!
21 - Not dressing warm for winter. It gets cold! Very windy! Wear layers so you can take them off when you go in to the casino.
22 - Trying to eat at the nice restaurants after 9.
23 - Not booking dinner at any of the Gordon Ramsey restaurants weeks in advance (pro tip, most are completely booked 3 weeks in advance)
24 - Buying water at the Casino gift shops for $7 a bottle.
25 - Being conned into a sales presentation.
26 - Paying full price for tickets to any of the shows through that hotel or resorts box office.
27 - Shopping at the stores on the strip.
28 - Driving back to LA on Sunday afternoon, or Monday afternoon of a holiday.
29 - Got Married
30 - Jason Weiner says the BIGGEST mistake would be going to Las Vegas WITHOUT first viewing the AWESOME, insightful travel videos on Las Vegas from Yellow Productions.

Yellow Productions hi! What is the name of the hop on hop off Las Vegas bus
Is taking the bus OK during the weekdays?
Weekday in the daytime before 6pm is OK
you really thought the stratosphere to fremont st is part of the strip? idiot. strip ends at the strat
Im going on a school day so my pool might noy be packed or correct me
Went to Vegas in a 60k BMW came home home in a 200k greyhound bus!! Class comment
Always keep an eye on your pockets/bags if you're watching the Bellagio fountains. Everyone's watching the show, most people are filming on their phones and it's a pickpocket's paradise.
Great tip
I've actualy seen a robbery take place there, scary.
oooh snap
@@DanielletheDriver 🤣🤫
Yellow Productions Most rooms never have a mini fridge, if they have a mini fridge they’ll be waited and censored anyone who take the stuff out will be automatically charged. Wi-Fi fees are worst and Paris is no exception, and finally there won’t be no time to watch TV however you can bring your ethernet cable. Here Be Barr Jon mention his video.
I've spent in excess of 100 nights in Vegas. Thank God I started years ago. I got a taste of a Las Vegas that simply doesn't exist anymore. One thing I wanted to say, BE CAREFUL. You can exit a casino on the back of the property (opposite of the strip) walk 100 feet and be in "no man's land. Crowbar to the head, shank between the ribs. Anyone that attempts to walk from the Strip to "downtown" damned sure better have a swat team with them.The gangs own that turf and they love to see that older couple from Kansas walking by. Done right, an incredible experience.
For sure!
"The girls that come to your room, aren't the girls in the poster!" -Lmfao
Also, if you drink too much alcohol, you actually put yourself at more risk to dehydration, which is NOT a good idea in the desert!
Noted. Filed.
I always buy my water at CVS and Walgreens. It’s a lot cheaper that way. That’s a really good tip.
I have a question is there a walmart or target in Vegas? I usually go to walmarts to buy sodas and waters when I go on vacations but I never heard of a walmart in vegas
Beer as well! Half the price.
Yup, me and my gf would fill up my camelbak about halfway with ice, then go to Walgreens get about 6 waters a day and just walk the strip with that
Derrick Klone Hi Derrick. Yes they probably did dig the water bottles out of the trash. And they refilled them with tap water. It’s just best to go to to CVS or Walgreens. It’s a lot more safe and sanitary. Sure it’s a little bit more expensive. But I’d rather spend a little bit more money on a water bottle that’s fresh and sealed then one that’s been used and is dirty.
@@damienshyboy yes, there are many.
Actually, I found that Fremont is A LOT sketchier as oppose to staying on the trip. I feel a lot safer on the strip. It’s like a panhandlers paradise there.
Couldn't wait to get out of there when I was in Vegas!!
I think everyone should see Fremont street at night once, then get on a cab and get the hell outta there, lol.
Which is exactly what I did
@Jimmy Johnson felt like I was in the land that time forgot. I really didn't like it much.
It's dodgy! Far too busy and full of weirdos. We didn't hang about for long on fremont street. Much quieter during the day and felt much safer
LMAO. My first time in Vegas, I drank so much the 1st day that my entire 2nd day was just a recovery day. Didnt even rally to make it out the next night. Lesson learned
My boyfriend and I went to the snack store in the flamingo and we spent 25 dollars on two drinks, beef jerky, and a bag of small chips! Like what 😂💀 we didn’t know. A big mistake because we can’t stop thinking about this til this day
Ouch! My wallet hurts just thinking about it!
I feel your pain i had to buy a 5 dollar kit kat because my sugar went low and was getting dizzy had to get any sugar intake i could
@John Davis I did go to 7/11 and other places out of the strip! I went to Vegas for 5 days and only spent 2 days on the strip. I honestly like it better off the strip :)
Towards south las vegas visit the 99 cent stores good things and cheap
@John Davis ABC,Wallgreens!
time share should be #1! I stupidly PAID to attend the timeshare the restaurant was picked AND was limited to a cheap spaghetti menu! Was so mad!! thanks PLANET Hollywood!
Fantastic job. Resort fees and parking ended it all for me.
Resort and parking fees are lame for sure
50 dollar room? Sweet! Oh wait 20 bucks for parking and 45 bucks for resort fees. Ehhhh what happened to the cheap hotel room?
@@kevinp665 quit going cause of the nickle and dime bullshit
@@kevinp665 they disappeared with the mob.
THANKS, ELIOT NESS..... 🙄
Resort fees piss the hell out of me...BUT, factor in the resort fees and I can STILL stay in Vegas cheaper than I can at the Holiday Inn 10 miles down the road from where I live. I don't stay at high end hotels, but have never paid more than $50 a night (excluding resort fees)....and have stayed at about a dozen different hotels on the strip. The cheapest stay being at Excalibur ($29 a night + resort fees, when I stayed)which isn't bad at all for a place to sleep.
The absolute best thing I did was to learn how to get from Mandalay to The Mirage with only actually walking about half the time. Just gotta learn where those trams are.
I personally love walking! It’s not a mistake. It’s an experience that can and should be enjoyed
Yeah, I tell all my friends to bring walking shoes that are already broken in, as there will be plenty of walking involved, both inside and out. The hotels are HUGE and are designed where you simply can't walk straight through them. They funnel you all throughout the building to keep you there, especially in the casino sections.
unless you are disable walking the Vegas strip is never a problem 12 miles a day is good for the human body even in the day during sunshine. You have many places you can stop and take a break if you have to remember it's only 6 miles each way at the most depending on your starting point and if you are staying at a place in the middle you can do one side a day. I would gladly walk and take in everything, in fact, doing that to me is a good reason to go to Las Vegas to start with it's a good part of people watching.
Insert bitch friends or family members that don't listen and get mass foot blisters and fuck your trip up. Now your loyalty and fun are put to the Blosmy
New Year's Eve. Dress accordingly girls. Cool!!!
You can see more by walking as well.
Skip the Sunday night drive back to LA, just take the short 50 minute flight on Southwest!
its only a half hour not 50 minutes.
Lax sucks not worth it
Erick Herrera Burbank, Santa Ana, Ontario, Long Beach other options
Might as well drive already going thru the hassle of a airport
The drive is the best part!
Another mistake is forgetting how dry the air is, and how this can really affect your sinuses. People from humid states (like Florida) will suffer unless they buy a vaporizer/humidifier from the local Walgreen's or CVS for use in the hotel room at night
Or do what I did 26 years ago, marrying a local and have a mother in law that worked in the casino's as a dealer for 40 years. Learned alot and had a home to stay at when we visited
David Nice LMFAO 👌👌👌
what a life
One nice thing about booking MGM properties through their web site, is that they include the hotel fee on there. They do mention the deposit for incidentals but it's not included in the total because you do get it back after checkout, but at least they do equate the resort fees on there. I always tell my friends to look at the incidentals fee and make sure they include that into their budget since they won't have access to those funds during their stay.
I've been to Vegas a couple times and luckily haven't made these mistakes. However, I always love learning from other travelers. Thanks for all the advice, Chris!
Thanks Jared!
When taking a Urber make sure it's a urber. Ask them who they are waiting for, if they say your name make sure they are who they say they are. ID would be okay to ask. Someone almost died from getting into a car and asking if they were waiting for them. Never say your name. Always ask for ID and look to see a logo of on the car.
I always check the plate and see if it matches what I have on the app
We did quite a few of these last November. We stayed in the Luxor, walked as far as treasure island, after that it didn’t look as interesting so we crossed over and walked back down the other side. We got the deuce bus pass also. So we went to Fremont street and the famous gold shop and that way on, we also walked from caesars palace to the Rio to see penn and teller.
My top 3 things we did:
1- see David Copperfield at the MGM, the best show I have EVER seen.
2- visiting the Welcome To Las Vegas sign, it’s just something you have to do.
3- playing (responsibly) in the casinos. It’s what Vegas is about.
The worst thing I did- Eat at Hells Kitchen. Didn’t enjoy the over priced food and drink but I can say I have eaten there so that’s nice.
Thanks for the heads up. Was going to go to hells kitchen when I go to Vegas but think I'll give it a miss
Omg lol the girls on the side of the van aren't the ones that come to ur room. I busted out laughing
Metro Police are very aggressive about prostitution activities.
@@stevensedlis3901 vegas has alot of its appeal to people who want to party, then you get there and if you do anything other than drink and gamble (lame) they put you in a vegas jail.
Those two girls on the van have literally been there since 2007. You would think that they would retire by now lol.
@@heatherfeather9951 Im a vegas local and can confirm ive seen them there since around that time as well LMAO !!
Mistake: Being afraid to try “normal” food places with normal prices outside of the hotel food courts. Some days you get used to thinking that $25 for Coffee and a Doughnut is reasonable and you have to smack yourself in the face and go to Starbucks or even McD’s as an antidote.
one thing i learned from visiting Vegas twice, is to bring a smaller jacket to wear inside the hotels. Especially during the summer (the time during the year i was there 2017 and 2018) it can be really cold inside the big hotels, like Mandalay bay and the convention center and the luxor. Bring a jacket with you just in case things start to get a little chilly.
That's a good tip!
Indoor air conditioning can be ridiculous sometimes. 🥶
Number 9!
Thanks :) Hopefully others wont make the same mistake now. Such great work yet again. Thanks for the upload.
I've seen dozens of tips videos on Vegas and this is the best one I've ever seen good work
Thanks scottey!
Went a couple weeks ago with my 18yr old daughter. Did lots of planning and watched all your videos plus a few others. We had an amazing trip and were fully prepared! I’ve been before but it was her first time and she wants to go back. :)
Awesome Marie!
Watching this from my hotel in Vegas after walking 10 miles yesterday up and down the strip... good thing we had flat shoes on!
I just added it up, according to my apple watch I did 110,000 steps in my four days in vegas. You need to, to burn off all that food.
That's alot of walking!
Wow!
Those are so true! After we went after about fifth time we learned to not to overeat and drink, your vacation will be miserable and you’ll feel fatigued! Also use sanitizer and EmergenC before plane, on plane, and always take your vitamins!
And if you plan to walk a lot, even in comfy sneakers, bring blister meds.
And don’t just linger on strip and downtown!
Thanks Kari!
Thank you for the tips! The very last tip is definitely the most important, and I am glad it was featured. I need to check out Las Vegas and the surrounding area one of these days. Your videos will be the best guides available!
Thanks Scottman :)
You give amazing advice on Vegas. Most accurate & useful Vegas dude on UA-cam by far. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Thanks Avi!
200k greyhound 🤣. Awesome video! great info.
One of my favorite Vegas jokes! :)
I've been to Las Vegas a few times and walked the strip twice starting from Circus Circus all the way to the Mandalay Bay, I'll never do it again. Timeshares, I usually stay at a hotel actually are timeshares, the timeshare owners rent them out through travel sites; much cheaper and walking distance to the strip. If anyone's interested, it's the Desert Rose Resorts located right behind Hooters, the only complaint, there is a smell just before you get to Hooters other than that a great place to stay.You can take a cab to get where you want to go, just be careful and don't tell the cab driver too much personal information such as how long you going to be in Vegas and where you're from, some of them will use that against you to get more money. In conclusion, if you pay attention to his videos you will find them very informative.
Shuttle buses are great from the airport to your hotel. Most charge $17 round trip. The drawback is the buses run a route through the resorts, and you might spend an hour or more riding the shuttle before you get to your hotel. The buses also drop you off at a different area from the cabs. But, you cannot really beat the price. Resorts off the strip also offer their own shuttles, as long as you stay at the hotel, it is free.
Been to vegas twice, I've done this twice. I like the MGM signature so really I could take the shoe leather express to and from if I had to (which is part of the reason I stay there) but for $20 return, and they treat you well so why not.
appreciate this series its helped a ton!
“LOVE” your videos! First time I went to Vegas was an absolute nightmare. After that subscribed and watched your videos, they’ve been on point every time, people can’t underestimate enough listening to your advice. Thank you so much. My girlfriend and I joke that we owe you a kickback check, LOL. Keep up the great work
Awww. Thanks Jake!
love this guy.. he's educating me to the max
Thanks Ant!
Hilarious and informative. A pleasure watching, especially when there are so many people doing reviews.
This is all very good advice! My last trip was in June a couple of years ago and there was a heat wave.
Thanks for making these videos! You have laid out the info so clearly, it helps so much for a first time visitor!
Great video with great tips. Thanks!
When you play blackjack or roulette, play on the tables with the best odds.
Blackjack: Play 3 to 2 payouts. Do NOT play 6 to 5 payouts.
Roulette: Play single zero if you can find one. I know The Mirage has one. Try to avoid double zero. And now they are starting to put in TRIPLE zero games in casinos. Avoid them at all costs!
Just look at the placard at the table B-4 you sit down! I'm guilty of NOT doing that.
Shame on me.
@@ddd228 I work in a casino. I see people play on 6/5 blackjack and triple zero roulette all day long.
@@sportsbookps5544 Those people do not care what the odds are. Lemmings to the slaughter.They help the stock holders. I will not and they paid for parking!
Too many 6-5 payouts anymore. Also watch out for not letting you double down on 8 or 9.
@@brucekingfield8439 I WANT INSURANCE!!!!!!
I just went two days ago (April) and it wasn't hot at all! It's a really nice time to go because it's not hot or cold!! Btw im your viewer from Mexico ❤️
Thanks for videos! I'm making my first trip to Vegas in April and your videos have been helping with the planning.
Right on Zach.. enjoy Vegas!
Drinking too much. OMG! This is a mistake I made all the time back in my younger days. I really did miss out a lot of what Vegas had to offer because I would spend the following morning battling a hang over from hell and then all of the previous night was just a haze in my memories. Don't do that anymore. I still drink, but not like that. I pace myself and there are days in Vegas where I don't drink at all. There is so much to enjoy there if you just remain sober. :)
That sounds familiar!!
Take monorail to the Sahara and it's about a 10 min walk to stratosphere. Can cut through the casino to avoid walking outside the entire way.
Great tips. I stay in a Condo next to Bellagio with a full kitchen and laundry and saved a fortune in food and drinks and just ate out for dinner only, CVS and Walgreens are a godsend. I only walk down the strip when one side is in shade, couldn’t take the bus anyway as it was totally packed. Yes, even walking around two or three casinos in a row is exhausting unless you’re in your 20s!
Thoughtful video and super informative! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
Thanks Kurt!
When I went in February, the hotel I stayed at changed my room to a much nicer one. Ended up in a suite at the Flamingo that overlooked the strip.
So far, I've seen the Yellow Production videos for Waikiki, Vegas, and D.C. Very informative for first time travelers to a new destination. I'll definitely check out more videos as this guy seems to know his stuff.
Thanks Robbie!
Another great video like always and so informative!
Thanks Mili!
Thanks great info going in may!
I got married in Vegas and it was a lovely time (although everything was planned and plenty of people were invited)
I got a taxi to go from one hotel to the other. The taxi driver was an australian chick and she took the opposite route to my destination, I told her that she was going the wrong way and she said it was faster that way than taking the strip... When I saw that my 7-10 bucks ride was now 20 and up I got off the car and payed her, now I was further than where I originally got the taxi, I payed her and she demanded a tip, My brother gave her 4 quarters.... I'll never get a taxi in Vegas ever again! I rather walk or the deuce...
We always take an Uber so we know the cost before we get in the cab.
could be faster but more costly
Great info, great video! Thank you!
Thanks Chris!
Prices on shows: You can also go to the box office for most of the older shows in the day when they’re not busy and ask if they can give you any good deals or discounts. This works very well if you’re watching a weekday show. When I was staying at NYNY a few years ago I got comped a companion ticket a few years ago for a weekday Zumanity show just by asking if there were any better deals available than what I had seen online.
Thanks for the tip!
I love you included #21 desert winter is cold as cold and that wind is cold for sure. the summer wind can be blow dryer too. another weather one is the "monsoon season" late summer that doesn't affect the strip but does the northwest valley "Turn Around Don't Drown"
Thanks for the list of tourists mistakes. Love the last one it was the best tips ever hehe. Have a great day.
Thanks Traci!
I do appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Love your attitude and execution!
Thanks Mizkong!
Lol at 14:02 you see the fear in your eyes for the end of the escalator. Great vid!
the first three mistakes: drinking too much, eating too much, gambling too much..... so basically anything covered in the first 30 minutes of the movie "SEVEN."
they're called 'deadly sins' for a reason! 😉🥳🤣😱
I wouldn't say it's a mistake to come in the summer, but rather it's a mistake to come in the summer ill prepared. Which ties into your other points such as not bringing sun screen etc.
Summer is my favorite time to go, because I love the pool parties. And I 100% agree with you, gotta be well prepared!
This is really good! I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years and agree with this...
Love your videos ! Thanks
Perfect timing, I'm going tomorrow! Thanks for the tips
#28 . . . Atlantic City equivalent - driving back to Philadelphia . . . on a Sunday afternoon/evening !
Best Video yet Chris. Great Work 😁
Thanks Claire!
We used Lyft everywhere, was a few dollars each time and the drivers were great
So did we. I did forget about the tip that there's a difference enterance for them than taxis . I remembered on the 2nd day when I needed a ride and had to cancel it because I wasn't at the right pick up area. The night before we stayed at Circus Circus, the taxi and share ride pick up was all at the same entrance.
I also agree that all of the Lyft drivers were very friendly. I enjoyed talking to them, and learning about them and the city.
I'm travelling back to vegas in September for a holiday with my husband, I've been before but but he hasn't. Are ubers and lyfts safe to use? We don't really have them where I live, all taxis are legitimate where I am so unsure of how safe they are?
I'm going to Vegas in early June. But it's very clear how hot on earth it's going to be. Your video's have been helping me out on what to do and where it's at. Got a fan from Michigan
Thanks Jeffrey!
As a long time Vegas resident - I get a kick out of taking the occasional taxi. First thing I say to the driver is 'dude, I've lived here 20 years, don't waste your time on a long haul". They usually just laugh with me and take me the same way I'd take myself.
That's a great tip :)
Excellent information! I really like your channel a lot. My husband and I are visiting Las Vegas next December and all you are showing here is useful
Thanks Maria! Enjoy Vegas!
Two weeks and I'll be there. It's going to be my third time going but I still need this video😂😂😂
Have fun!
I walked from Mandalay Bay to Fremont Street and back again and it took 4 hours!
😮 holy moly you must be amazing! I could never walk that much!
elias taian I couldn’t feel my legs for a week after!
prove it
You must he the Bionic Woman. Lol
#6 I did it one day/night. I walked all the way from Downtown to New York, New York I believe it was. I made many stops along the way too so I could see the interiors of many properties. It was FUN to me and great exercise.
Awesome tips!!! I remember going in December years ago, boarded the plane in 75 degree Cali and landing in 40 degree with an even colder wind chill Vegas in a short summer dress and regretting my life choices hahaha
Probably looking good too
Man I really loved this video!! All 15 minutes are filled with Good Content!! I love seeing all the cool places you know about in Vegas 🤠 I always learn something new and look forward to going to next time I go to Vegas. Oh and MY TIP #1 BRING YOUR OWN WEED!!!! GRAM OF REGGIE START AT $20. 😂 just like Alcohol, Weed is expensive but it is a little too expensive. Prices are quadrupled 🥶
Thanks Catalyst!
I’ll be there in 2 days and can’t wait to have some time off in sin city! Thank you for the great video!
Have fun Anna!
Thank you for the video.
Ya got some really good points . . . gotta remember them ! 😎
Thanks for the tips!
My friend and I recently avoided hotel drama by staying at an Airbnb right off the strip on Koval. Next time I'd like to try a hotel tho. Also, it was indeed pretty annoying finding food after 10pm, so prepare well for that. Go to the ABC store for food and essential for cheap
Ha! He said travelodge or Circus Circus. Sir! I drove in the night only to find the Circus, Circus and Travelodge we’re out of rooms XD. Always book ahead in the summer Guys! And thank god for Arizona Charlie’s
I enjoy your videos and great tips re: Vegas which helped me prepare for my trip last month 😁 Keep up the good work Chris ..... after the self isolation period of course 😉
Great video. I bet within a few months this will be one of your top 5 most viewed. I totally agree about taking the bus down the strip. I once took a bus because I was in a hurry and it took an hour when I could have just walked to where I was going in 30 minutes or so.
Thanks Jake! :)
Living in Phoenix, I have no issues with the heat. Just need a cold drink and some shade and you are set. Walking down the strip would actually allow people to burn off some of that food. Aside from that I don't have an issue with the recommendations.
Great job. You’re right about the walking
Great video ! I felt as if you were posting MY mistakes ! Really valuable information IF others heed the warnings ! LOL!
Great videos as always!!! Was just there a month ago. Every time I leave, I always wanna go back!
Thanks Alex!
A few years ago we did the walk to the Rio bit. Realized it was a huge mistake about halfway across the bridge. Everything looks so close but came to discover the buildings are huge. That is when and where we started using Uber.
I'm going to make a mistake number 19: going in the summer. But I'm from Finland and few years ago we had a massive rainstorm on June and temperature was +4 degrees celsius. So I'm happy to go some place warm. Of course we have some warm temperatures but it's called a sauna.
Jack of Helsinki It's not a mistake. Rooms are very cheap when it's hot, and it makes the pool better
Am headed to Vegas this week thanks for the videos on this great place to visit
Awesome! Enjoy Vegas!
I enjoyed it. Thanks for the great information.
My pleasure!
We were there in the month of June last year....my skin is still screaming !!
1:48 Not sure what car was ripping by but that engine sounds SWEET
Love the way u present... Thanks for all the info... Makes my Vegas trip a bit more cool
Thanks Surjya!
I have been to Vegas many times.....these mistakes are spot on (except, I always go in the summer...I love the heat). Great video!
Thanks for the great information. Take care. From Bethlehem Pa
Thanks Sandy!
I live in Las Vegas, and these tips are 100% accurate. Listen to the man! And think about getting off the Strip at some point. (Yeah, he’s right - we never go there - it’s really just for suckers, I mean tourists.) Red Rock Canyon, a US national park, is truly awesome - 20 minutes west of city. Also the Springs Preserve nature park is close to downtown and includes the NV state museum. Also the grim but excellent Mob Museum (downtown). All of these are fascinating places to visit.
Thanks Sarah! I appreciate the backup from a local!
I heard the same, about locals never going to the strip which came from the Lyft and Uber drivers. My family and I did get away from it a few times, it's really peaceful away from all the crowds. We ate at some awesome restaurants away from the strip as well. Blueberry Hill was one of our favorites.
Unless you live in Alaska where all you have is hiking and sight seeing. The strip is why i go to Vegas.
Solid advice! I appreciate your efforts.
Thanks Stephen! I appreciate the kind words!
I want to give you two thumbs up on every video! Thanks you for your awesome videos!
Thanks Megan for the double thumbs!
