I’ve been to Vegas every year for the past three years. Even going for a whole month last June and it was amazing. Just can’t get enough of it. Going again this year, late June.
You’ll love it. Here’s a few tips.
-It is very hot, make sure to take sun cream, even lip cream with sun protection. My lips were red raw sore the first year I went and it was September!
-Make sure to take a good pair of sandals, or something you’re comfortable in.
-There’s two buses that run up and down the strip, one is called the Deuce and the other is an RTC. One of which runs from Mandalay Bay to Fremont Street. You can buy 8 hour, 24 hour and 3 day bus passes. Would highly recommend the 3 day, I think it’s $20 each but it’s totally worth it because the strip is a long walk depending on where you’re going and in that heat, it’s not a good mix.
-Don’t buy water, soft drinks, snacks, etc in the hotel shops. Go to Walgreens or cvs, numerous ones on the strip, as those little shops in the hotel charge almost double.
-There are tonnes of people along the strip trying to give out stripper card things and also, last two years, they’ve had what look like Buddhist monks all over the strip, who don’t speak a word of English, they’ll come over to you, so fast or just appear out of nowhere and they’ll put a bracelet on your wrist and pull out a donations sheet. It’s a scam. They’re trying to get money and if they manage to put the bracelet on your wrist, they think you’ll be obliged to give them money. I only know it’s a scam because it happened to me and one guy pulled out a donation sheet, all the names was in the same handwriting with huge amounts of money being donated.
Also don’t forget about the resort fee, I believe it’s at every hotel except Tropicana hotel. I stayed at Excalibur hotel & casino, couldn’t have picked a better hotel.
