Cash Advance from ATMs
by PARADIZE
Be aware that cash advance are very costly on the strip... At the Tropicana, I went to the ATM to get 400US$ from my Visa card, I got a receipt and I had to wait in line again at the cashier... I had to give my fingerprint!! I paid 14US$ on service fee! The ATM at my hotel (The Renaissance) only charge me 2US$ no matter how much I got.
More than gambling.

Get away from the Casinos for a while and visit Lake Mead, Mt. Charleston (12,000 ft), Red Rock Natural Conservation area, or just wander in the surrounding desert. Who knows, you may stumble across billionaire looking for a ride.
I WOULD TOUR THE MAJOR CASINOS...
by geneabrown
I WOULD TOUR THE MAJOR CASINOS ON THE STRIP TO INCLUDE PARIS,BELLAGIO,FLAMINGO HILTON,MGM,MANDALYN BAY,NEW YORK NEW YORK, BUT OF MY FAVORIT CASINO TO VISIT IS BELLAGIO. VEGAS HAS AN APPEAR THAT NO OTHER VACATION SPOT HAS.IT WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR ME IN THAT I ALWAY AVOIDED GOING THERE BECAUSE OF PRECEIVED IDEAS. WHEREAS, ORLANDO IS A FAMILY ORIENTED TOWN,BASICALLY FOR THE KIDS IN THE FAMILY,VEGAS HAS ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERYBODY. MANY HOTELS HAVE THEIR OWN AMUSEMENT PARKS FOR KIDS WHILE PARENTS CAN PLAY THE SLOTS. VEGAS IS A FUN CITY.
Las Vegas Tip
by j_soul
If you are in California, the coolest way to go to Vegas is to drive through the Mojave Desert. There is not much too see except for all the Joshua trees, Peggy Sue's 50's diner and the Bun Boy restauant, which is in Baker, California-home of the world's tallest thermometer. You will also pass through Primm, which has casinos and shopping also.
Spas
by goingsolo
For those of you who haven't spent enough money, most of the hotels have their own spa facilities and offer a number of treatments and packages. The Bellagio spa is currently under renovation, but is operating on the 4th floor of the hotel. Its a great experience and a good way to take care of your sun dried skin. Plus, what would a trip to Vegas be without going over the top and indulging? It wasn't my afternoon at the spa but that comes in at a close second.
