I’ve been to Vegas 5 times in the last 20 years. I’ve noticed a significant decline during my last visit in 2022. There are so many homeless cracked out people on the strip it’s unbelievable. It would be one thing if they were just sitting there with a sign asking for money but they are engaging with people and acting angry and violent. There is a complete lack of police and security out on the sidewalks and bridges. The casinos don’t care what goes on outside. You can smell weed all over. I was shocked how many people I saw bring kids there

Someone who lived in Las Vegas for over 20 years and recently moved out. Las Vegas is not as safe as it used to be.

We were in Vegas for hubby's union conference last October. We agreed I wouldn't go outside the hotel without him. I almost went out to the Walgreens near the Wynn one day but decided against it. At about that time, there were multiple people stabbed with two dying right outside the Wynn. My guardian angel whispering in my ear.

15 years Armed Security in Vegas. It's not safe anywhere anymore.

I've lived in Vegas since 97 and they are right on a lot of things however I wanted to just add my 2 cents for anyone thinking of visiting. Stay on the strip anywhere from mandalay bay to the sahara. If your thinking of going to downtown just get an uber or drive there. Don't pass the strat, once u pass it it gets very sketchy. Remember from mandalay bay to sahara is ok once you pass sahara its a whole different thing. Walk during the day and try not to be alone at night.

[carlawilson]

I’ve been to Vegas many times solo and always feel safe. That being said, I don’t venture off the beaten path. When solo I try to walk near groups so it’s not obvious that I am alone. If I am enjoying some cocktails I will stay at my home casino so I don’t have to walk outside, especially at night. I appreciate the great advice that you share on your channels. Even though I have been there many times over the years I always learn something new or discover a hidden gem because of you two. As always, great job!

Thank you for the video. As a resident of Vegas for the last 26 years, I have seen a lot. Vegas has always had a crime element like most cities. When I moved here downtown was no-go zone. The Fremont Street Experience hadn't been developed and the majority of the homeless population was in this area. Once redevelopment began downtown, the homeless population spread out to other parts of the valley including the underground tunnels ( Vegas version of skid row). I've seen all facets of crime, but before social media, Vegas had control of the narrative. You didn't hear much about crime once the corporate entities took control and the city was marketed to families. They no longer have control, and now you are seeing the underbelly. To add to the safety tips, ladies please be careful within the hotel/casino space. People will take advantage if they see you are not in full control. This element also goes under-reported.

My last two visits to Vegas been solo and enjoyed it so much better, you get to dictate your itinerary on your own schedule

[yvonneacosta]

We have never had any issues ourselves but we are also careful. Use common sense.
I have been to Las Vegas by myself many times with no issues but my #1 rule is don't make yourself an easy target. Don't flash cash, don't wear expensive jewelry, keep an eye on your phone, purse/wallet. In other words, look like you aren't worth going after. Stay safe!

Back in the late 90s, we walked from Excalibur to Freemont and back. Left at 9am returning at 3am. It was a great experience that could never happen again. We stopped at most of the hotels and casinos and had dinner on Freemont Street. It was nothing like it is today.

Like everywhere in the world, you will have some area that you don't want to go to even in daylight. I lived in Vegas for 20 years, I got robbed once in front of my office. But most people would have their homes burglarized, and cars broken into, or robbed outside the casinos. You cannot be careful enough, it is life and if you are robbed, let go of whatever they want and run for your life. You cannot buy your life back. Period. Be safe. I had enough of Vegas and I just left for good.

[lasvegassmoke]

Homeless and crackheads are also in the main casinos . Security don’t do nothing.

[michaelp]

Thank you for all the great advice. We visit Vegas twice every year and agree with you completely. Use good judgment and you will be fine and enjoy your time. Be aware of your surroundings and enjoy all Vegas has to offer.

[eileencraig]

Glad I found you guys. Moved here 9 years ago and you can never know enough. Thanks for your informative videos.

[NortheastWa]

We ended up driving to through some of those sketchy areas you mentioned. A young lady at a quick stop mentioned that we were in the wrong neighborhood. I'll see you on your next video

[Supremmo]

First time I visited Vegas was in 2006. We stayed at the Klondike which is no more. I remember a knock on our door and it was a homeless person asking us for money. They’re pretty aggressive when it comes to asking but that whole panhandler at our door thing tripped us out.

If you come to LV with your RV, make sure you avoid at all costs Mainstreet RV park. We had our bicycles $500 each stolen last night! They were locked and secured on a bike rack. It was so quiet, even our dog didn't react. Filed a police report, but no hope to get our bikes back.... Mfrs

[christopherking]

There are good and bad neighborhoods just about everywhere. Educate yourself and ask questions. Videos like this are very helpful. I've definitely had some sketchy moments walking in Las Vegas and all of them were at night. I caught the tail end of the mob run era in sin city and I feel like it was safer back then. Those were different times but I feel as if they would not have tolerated so much homelessness. Sure there was crime, but for the average visitor just trying to have a good time it felt safe and definitely more glamorous.

I lived in Vegas in the 90s and went to college after leaving the USMC. My parents retired there so I chose UNLV because I could hang with them after 12 years in the military. I moved away in '96 and moved back ten years later after my dad passed. I needed to be close to my mom. I got there and the housing market collapsed. There was no work to be found. I finally got a job working at a mini-mart / laundry matt. People ripped that place off blind. They guy who I replaced had been shot in the head outside the store. It was his fault - he sold a dude some fake drugs and when the guy came back he began to fight with him and the guys friend shot him. It was close to UNLV but the place was dangerous at night with heroin addicts, crack heads, and tweakers. The crack heads would come in to steal and then forget why they came into the store before they could steal anything. The tweakers would stay up all night plotting their theft and were the most dangerous. People trying to pass counterfeit bills, etc.

I moved to Naked City, the neighborhood behind the Stratosphere. It used to be the place where people went to find drugs and prostitutes and is in-between the Black and Hispanic gang turfs. It is a dangerous place at night. I got a job at the Seven Eleven behind the Strat. "Someone got shot in the face on the corner" or "They found another body in the dumpster" and other comments were common when you came into work. On one occasion I kicked out a guy selling crack, a hooker and her john, and a homeless dude pissing in the phone booth at one time, all in front of the store. I saw women who were owned by gangs - they owed them money for drugs and then got prostituted until they paid off their debt. Gang members would walk them to their appointments. They would be around for a few weeks, steadily going down hill and then they would disappear. You learned to believe only half of what you hear and repeat none of it. There was a girl driving a brand new Cadillac Esplanade cruisin' with two friends. They were tweaking and would stop in every few hours to refill their drinks. They were up for several days straight. Eventually, she was hooking to get money and her friends were gone. The gangs got ahold of her and the Cadillac was gone.. They passed her around for a week or two until she was cooked.

I lived in a small one bedroom on Boston Street. They remodeled the old building next door. Some guy was living there, supposedly keeping an eye on the place during the renovation. One morning I woke up and the whole building was burnt down. They said the fire dept was there in the night but I had slept through it. The guy watching the place had started a fire and burnt the place down. A week later they found a burnt corpse in the building. It was likely that the fire was a coverup for a murder. I worked the swing shift at the 7/11 and talked to the driver who did the deliveries. I looked at his clip board and laughed. "you have a dangerous route" I said to him as I saw the other stores he delivered to, like the ones on Desert Inn. He said he stopped and prayed every night before going to one on DI. They frequently had shoot-outs in the parking lot and other crime going on around there.

There were a lot of people who moved to Vegas from LA and they brought the gang stuff with them, once the mob was gone. It is a seedy place with a lot of drugs, gang violence, hookers, homeless and thieves. My mom passed in 2011 and I left town in 2012. Vegas in the 70s was cheesy. In the 80s it was great. In the 90s it was still cool. In the 2000s it became overwhelmed by homeless panhandlers, pickpockets, and criminals. Now it is an expensive nightmare.
