A couple safety tips I might add 1. )Stay away from the superhero characters or any of the characters on the strip. They are independent and don't work for any hotel. You could literally have your kid take a picture with a pedo that's dressed up as Spiderman. My husband worked security on the strip several years ago and most of the people dressed up as these characters were dirty, shady people. Don't take a picture with them and certainly don't let your kids take a picture with them. 2.) I used to drive for Lyft before the pandemic and sometimes people wanting to go to Fremont st . will just put Fremont on the Lygt app and it takes you to some bad, shady area North of downtown. I gave a ride to some young girls once and when we got to the random place that the app brought us to they knew they made a mistake. There was no way I was dropping them off there so I took them to Fremont st. where they thought they selected. Make sure you put Fremont st. Experience on your ride share app. Not all Lyft drivers will be willing to take you to where you really want to go leaving you stranded in a horrible part of town until you wait for another Lyft ride to pick you up.

One thing to remember: Las Vegas technically is a desert. You will not have "moderate" weather. The city lives on the extremes: if it gets very hot in the day time, night time will be quite chilly. I remember visiting when I was around 13 yrs old and wow it was c-cold at night. My mom was very relieved that she remembered to pack jackets for everyone. Another thing: don't always expect a nice quiet night. Construction crews have no choice but to work at night because the heat is so severe it can damage building materials. One construction worker commented that he is forbidden to lay concrete in the daytime. Why? The heat causes it to crack when it cures! That's how hot it is.

Great tips! One that I would add, would be not buying a multi-day, monorail pass. It’s much cheaper to buy a multi day, pass online before your trip and then store it on the wallet in your phone. It’s so quick and easy to scan the pass on your phone as opposed to standing in line and messing around buying daily passes at the stations. You do have to walk a little bit from some of the stations to the strip, but you save a ton of money over ridesharing or taxes if you were willing to walk a little.

Here are 3 additional suggestions.

1. Have a gambling budget for each day and stay within it.

2. A corollary to 1, Don't ever chase your losses. You'll lose your bankroll, which isn't fun.
3. If you hit a decent jackpot, return to your room and put it in the safe. Then continue playing within your daily limit. It gives you a break from gaming, and you won't blow through your winnings.

I tell my guests to tip the showgirls $5-10 each and that is the MAX. And don’t take photos with the costume characters at all. 😬

Spot on, on everything. I love staying at Park MGM just because its so close to that CVS (which is possibly the best store on the strip) I even took a 30 minute power nap after getting a little intoxicated before lunch... Slammed a liter of water and a liter of Powerade and dozed off. Woke up super fresh for round 2 that afternoon. Some day I really want to take a picture with the showgirls and then ask them for a tip... technically you don't have to pay them anything, its illegal for them to demand any amount of money...obviously if you are willing to take a picture with them you should give them something though. Great video, sad I just left 2 days ago!

Hey Jay, as an individual who frequents Vegas 2 to 3 times a year, I found your video super informative! And so many levels you’re so right! A lot of this it is common sense…..Cheers to another one!!🍻😃

[NeilMacedo]

Thanks for the video Jay, I just want to add one more thing about withdrawing money from ATM’s. If you’re withdrawing money in Vegas, and you’re an international tourist, you’ll have to be careful of the currency conversion rate & the bank fees.

Thanks for this awesome warning video! I am a teenager who is going to be hitting vegas tomorrow, and I have been ripped off like this especially by timeshare people and hotel minibars, so videos like this are helpful. 🤘

The ABC stores in the Miracle mile were awesome to save money!! The Trams were great. Got from the LinQ to Park MGM to See Aerosmith, just crossed the street and rode to the concert, which saved time too. Good Job Jay!! I've been there 6 times on and off strip. I always learn something new. 👌

I would add wear sensible shoes everywhere. Don’t wear high heels. Even if you are only going to a nightclub in the hotel you’re staying at, the walk is longer than you think. Comfort over fashion!

The dumb mistake when I went to Vegas was trying to see everything in a day. I arrived at noon but couldn't check into my hotel until three so I decided to walk the strip. I walked from the Luxor to the Strat. That wouldn't be that bad but I also went through every hotel on the way. I probably walked about ten miles that day. Then the next day I had blisters and was exhausted and didn't really want to do anything. I also went to Vegas alone, for a week, I don't recommend that. You actually get bored after the third day. This was in 1995 so there was way less to do than now but still. No one wanted to go and I did but it would be way more fun with at least one other person.

Great job Jay!
This is good for newbies and non-newbies alike, especially the TSA one.

[whimsicalhamster]

Jorge crossover! Woo hoo! Yes, CVS is a necessity for any Vegas trip. They make airports look like dollar stores at those resorts on the strip!

[onehundredcats]

“Avoid these sketchy areas” sir, I’m coming from Detroit 😳😅

[sugabrownqueen]

NO timeshares!Absolutely no timeshare presentations. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Just a FYI while out in public you can photograph or video anything you can see and are not obligated to pay any street performer. But they are there to make money so tip them if you take a photo with them.

Great video. So true about the black jack advice. Also loved George’s cameo.
