Vegas Facts: Steve Wynn's new joint
  • Tip Rating:
  • I'm not sure where this tip goes, so I will make it fit into here. One custom that Las Vegas has is admiring Steve Winn, a creative businessman who started the trend of "classing up" Las Vegas, with the likes of such casinos as Golden Nugget (his first) downtown, then Mirage, and most recently Bellagio, now considered the classiest joint in town. However he sold Bellagio and is now in the process of creating a new joint, Wynn Las Vegas, at the site of the former Desert Inn (a upper echelon casino in its own right). The latest word is that the new Wynn creation will open on April 28, 2005. At a cost of $2.5 billion and with Wynn at the helm, Las Vegas insiders are expecting previous "class" to be completely overshawdowed. Most of my info comes from paying attention to Las Vegas Talk and from my latest addition of lasvegasinsider.com newsletter.

    I Knew Before I Arrived In Las Vegas For The First Time In 2003 That Virtually Anything Goes In This Crazy Town But I Was Still Surprised When I Saw So Many People With Drinks In Their Hands As They Walked Along The Strip Especially On A Friday And Saturday When You Can Hardly Move Because There Are So Many People About And Most Of Them Are Drinking As They Walk. Anyway I Though I Would Join Them Seeing As Its A Vegas Tradition So With My Yard Of Margarita In Hand I Took To The Strip And Drank As I Walked Which Was A First For Me. Despite All This Drinking And Some People Getting A Little Boisterous I Have Seen Very Little Trouble On My 2 Visits So Far And Thats Obviously A Good Thing And A Credit To Everyone Involved. Cheers.

    Vegas Facts: So Many Natural Wonders Around L.V.!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Las Vegas offers more than gambling and live floor shows. There are plenty of things to do and see outside of the casinos and one of those things is the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area just north of Vegas. Great for camping, fishing, hiking and viewing some beautiful natrual land formations and the brilliant colors created by thousands of years of activity, moving one componate of earth through another. Don't miss the beauty.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, but legal in most of the rest of the state. Most of those flyers you see for 'exotic dancers right in your hotel room!' are really ads for prostitutes. Fascinating info like this can be found in 'The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas' by Bob Sehlinger, available at your local book store.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Clark County Crazy Laws An ordinance makes bringing a concealable fire arm into the county illegal unless it is registered with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. In order to register a handgun, however, it must be brought in to the police station. Furthermore, you may not register a gun on the weekends, but the police may prosecute you at that time.

    Vegas Facts: In Vegas you can get a hotel...
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Vegas you can get a hotel room for twenty five bucks IF you know how to do it. First book your room at least 3 months in advance, second plan your trip on the weekday. In vegas hotel rooms hit an all time high on the weekend. For example if your room is fourty bucks during the week, that same room is a hundred and fourty bucks on the weekend. Also don't forget to book online but be sure to check the hotel prices on their website before making any decisions, those booking place can be a real rip off when it comes to Vegas. Vegas gets really expensive, so saving money on your room is absolutely a plus. You may also want to keep in mind that hotels center strip are considerably more expensive than others. SO if you are planning a winter trip stay at one or the other ends. The end locations ARE NOT suggested during the summer, all of the REAL attractions are center strip and walking will be the death of you.

  • Tip Rating:
  • I don't know if this is everywhere in the States, or just where I've been, but the portions that restaurants give you in the U.S. are massive by Canadian standards. It took us a while to figure this out, but it really cuts costs down if you share these huge meals between 2 people. Or if you're really hungry, 2 meals for 3 people.
