LAS VEGAS TRAVEL GUIDE: 13 Things to Know Before You Go

Everything YOU need to know before you travel to Las Vegas Nevada. Las Vegas is BIG, so is the Strip. Downtown Las Vegas is really far from the strip but the Freemont Street Experience is cool and it's neat to see "old" Vegas. Don’t pick the cheapest hotels… You’ll regret that $25/night rate.
If you want to be in the “middle” stay around Caesars Palace. If you like “peace and quiet” pick a non-casino hotel. In the winter it can be really cold and windy! Bring a jacket Nov-Feb.
The casinos are always super cold… so bring a light jacket or sweater even in summer. Buffets are great, but just once a day. Twice a day is overdoing it!

That monorail was a dead horse from the day it started. Too far to walk to and very inconvenient stops. They should have constructed it directly above the Strip but the taxicab lobby put a stop to that. Now the trams on the west side are very convenient and FREE.

I don't recommend getting a rental car in Vegas. 1) Not only are you paying quite a bit for a daily rental, you are paying parking fees at every hotel - the one you're staying at and the ones you visit - every day of your vacation. 2) There's a lot of traffic on the strip, especially at night. Who needs the aggravation of sitting in traffic? Besides, it's much more fun riding in someone else's vehicle and being able to look around and view the beauty of Las Vegas! 3) The parking lots are WAY away from the main attractions. There's enough walking to do in Vegas. Don't add to it by having to walk to and from the lot over and over. 4) If you plan on being on the Strip only, there are better transportation options (cab, Uber, the Deuce bus, the monorails and trams).

5) Time is valuable when going to Vegas. I think too much time is wasted shuttling back and forth from the airport to the rental car site to get and return your car. Plus, you would think the car is a big time saver. It's not. Transportation is readily available - right outside the front door. Also, if you add up the cost of using them, you will spend less than if you rent a car. 6) The only reason that makes sense to rent a car is if you're either making multiple trips to downtown or you want to visit things like the Grand Canyon, the Red Rock casino, legalized brothels (yes many guys go to them) or other places further away from the Strip.

One last tip: if you MUST rent a car, there are car rental locations ON the strip itself - like at Treasure Island. Easy pickup and return. If I'm staying a week in Vegas, I might get a rental car for a day or two to get to places further away. You don't really need one the whole week. There are so many things to do, you won't want to waste a lot of energy on the hassles of car rental.

Tip: if you’re a military vet, you’ll get automatically upgraded to the second lowest loyalty tier for free. For MLife and Caesars rewards, that includes free parking at any of their properties and if you go the bellagio buffet, you can use their express line to skip the line. Other buffets usually need you to be the second highest or highest tier to skip the line.

Also, shoutout to the spunky princess. She’s too adorable. 😂🤘

Good to get an update periodically as things change. Haven’t been to Vegas since the pandemic and was shocked to find valet parking now cost $25

[mishundare]

Great videos, these are the information us normal folks need. Us that needs to plan everything ahead. Us that are nervous about traveling. Us that have anxiety. This is great for us. Thank you.

Love the video! As a rollercoaster enthusiast, I would love to see you do a video on the different rides and coasters that Vegas has. ☺️

[markcummings]

Great informative VLOG Chris. I had no idea they were closing down the monorail, it's a great asset but cannot imagine it's used massively because it's not overly visible. On my first trip to Vegas we stayed at Sahara and rode the monorail to MGM every day to see centre and south strip, it was great value and easy to use.

[joecool]

Thank you SO MUCH for the updated video, Chris!

Great job Chris, as usual! Also, folks should remember that Resorts World is getting ready to, if not already doing so, charging $10 per day for parking. Then for folks like myself who would Never pay $70 for a brunch buffet, folks may want to also consider other properties like the MGM Resorts along the Strip, as well as an outstanding inexpensive buffet at the Palm Resort off of the Strip. Happy New Year! CAB😊

Great video. I can’t wait to go back to Las Vegas! I haven’t been since before the pandemic 😷

[pablopaul]

I think the Monorail is going to be around for a couple of years, and yes, the MGM grand stop is terrible, however, the Westgate and Sahara stops are right near the casinos, and other stops are pretty near the strip. I love breezing above the buildings — and traffic can be really jammed down below.

[rodrigoccassiano]

Thank you, Chris for the video. Excellent content

[joannasjoyfuljourneys]

Oh I'm looking forward to watching this video! 💛 Love Vegas & hadn't been back in 3 years. This year, I plan to return there!!

[alirodriguez]

I went to Vegas in November as well. The weather wasn’t too bad, one night I forgot to bring a jacket. it was getting cold, so I got a hoodie from the viva Vegas shop at the Paris hotel for only $17.

[rickybellamy]

Thank you! This was gold. Leaving in 10 days.

[RNDBros]

I’ve been to Las Vegas like 7 times in my life, thanks for the video
