Useful tips for visiting Las Vegas
Resort fees add $30-50/night to advertised hotel prices. Check total cost before booking! Downtown hotels often have lower or no resort fees.
Free drinks while gambling! Tip $1-2 per drink to the cocktail waitress. Even penny slots count. Don't overdo it - Vegas hangovers are brutal.
The Strip is 4 miles long - longer than it looks! Use the free trams between hotels or the Deuce bus ($8 day pass). Monorail $13/day.
Buffets aren't as cheap as they used to be ($40-60), but still good value. Bacchanal (Caesars) and Wicked Spoon (Cosmopolitan) are best.

CASH ESSENTIAL for tipping culture! Dealers, servers, valets, bartenders expect $1-5 tips constantly. Slot machines, table games, nightclub covers often cash-preferred. ATMs on Strip charge outrageous $5-10 fees. Bring $150-300 cash per person for party weekends. Cards work everywhere else. Very tip-heavy city.
US Dollar (USD). AVOID: Airport Harry Reid and Strip casino ATMs - highest fees in America ($8-10). Use bank ATMs at CVS/Walgreens off-Strip - much lower fees. Charles Schwab, SoFi cards refund ATM fees. Bring cash from home bank before arrival. Some casinos offer check cashing for players. Entertainment/gambling capital - budget heavily for tips and activities!
TIPPING MANDATORY! $1-5 per drink, $20-100 for dealers, $2-5 valets, 15-20% restaurants. Tipped workers depend on tips - not optional here.
Follow standard precautions
Strip and Fremont are safe but crowded. Watch for scammers selling fake show tickets. Don't walk off-Strip at night. Drink responsibly - altitude and desert heat amplify alcohol.
