Planning a first Vegas trip? Let's build the ultimate newbie guide together. Here are a few starter tips to get things going:
Money - Set a gambling budget before you go and treat it as spent. Leave your bank card in the hotel safe if you need to. - Join each casino's free players club. You'll earn comps even on small bets. - Check the table minimums before you sit down. They're often lower downtown and off-Strip, and on weekday mornings.
Getting around - The Strip is longer than it looks. Wear comfortable shoes. - Use the free trams between some resorts, the Las Vegas Monorail, or rideshare for longer hops.
Hotels - Watch for resort fees, which are added on top of the room rate. - Midweek stays are usually much cheaper than weekends.
Staying safe - Drink water. The desert air dehydrates you fast. - You must be 21 to gamble, and to stay on the casino floor.
That's the basics. Now over to you: what's the one thing you wish you'd known before your first Vegas trip? And where do you send first-timers to eat, stay or play?
