Best tip: make a budget that you'd expect and then triple it.

Been to Vegas annually since 1977. Took the pandemic for me not to visit. Gamble a little, see a show almost every night, people watching, pool time, and everything from In-N-Out to Joe’s.
I arrive for 14 nights starting Memorial Day for my 85th visit from New Jersey. My happy place.
Great informative videos, thank you.

For breakfast/brunch, hit the Hash House A Go-Go. The one on the Strip gets crowded, but the one on Sahara is about a 10 minute Uber ride. Worth it. You won't be hungry until dinner. Speaking of dinner, if you can find a place off-Strip, you'll save a lot of cash. For a steakhouse, try Herbs & Rye, or for an amazing experience, get the tasting menu at a place called Partage. Regardless, make reservations for dinner wherever you go. Even the buffets!

Important tip: bring comfortable walking shoes. You’ll be walking a lot

Budget tip: plan your meals around happy hour specials, late night specials and learn how to take the bus to save on transportation

Burned out on the casinos or Strip? Yes. Hoover Dam! 🌊
Drive there & take the Dam tour!

For some reason, Las Vegas has never appealed to me, but after watching this, I might actually give it a try. Thanks for such an informative video!

Absinthe is also my fave Vegas show. Good recommendation. Lots of fun and laughs!

we love the speakeasy and always hit up 3-4 of them. also Freemont is typically our first night there, great opening. Still really want to do arts district. did a kayak trip last time which was fantastic.

Las vegas is whatever you want it to be. I like to see shows and sight see and look around in the cool hotels. I love Vegas but only 3-4 days is enough for me or I get board.

67 days & 11 hours to Vegas! But not like I'm counting down or anything. Great video Aly! I've been to Las Vegas dozens of times & Always learn something new with your videos before arriving there. My trips always start getting up early and hitting the lazy river & pools while staying Mandalay Bay. Is 10am too early for a margarita at the pool? Asking for a friend. I'm glad I did the High Roller last time at night. Yes! The sights were incredible. This time doing the Sphere Experience for the first time on this upcoming trip. Again Thanks for all the great info Aly. I'll think of you guys when I go back for my usual frozen Baileys!

24 days to go. Bacchanal is #1 buffet the rest of your video is very helpful for newbies. I have been going for over 40 years, always something new

[PatriciainOz]

Thanks so much for the links and the 411 as I am planning in ADVANCE and looking forward to my trip now!

[kimberleydarr]

40 days to go! Hubby and I travel from Halifax, Nova Scotia so we stay 6 nights. It’s a long travel day with connecting flights so 6 nights works for us, although hubby could stay longer if we had the money.

Honestly You are the best, thank you for the details
