 taken for a ride by cybercutie If you are visiting for the first time and hail a cab from the airport, make sure you know EXACTLY where your hotel is located and how far it is from the airport. As well, don't tell the cabdriver that you are a newbie, or you may end up paying more than you bargained for. Out of the 6 times I have been there,twice I have travelled from the airport and just asked a taxi driver to take me to my destination.I was taken for a ride...literally. Both times the cab driver took the long route and engaged my friend and I in conversation so we would not notice. The first time our hotel was located right behind the airport, and we were driven across the city and then right back to where we started from. SHE was very good at it, because we didn't even notice until the next day when we looked at the airport from our room...good by $20 American Dollars...plus a tip for the pleasantry...think I would have learned the second time...
Get a map before you leave so you are aquainted with how far the hotel is.
Get a package that has airport transfers. Leave a Comment

Last year, my husband and I were trapped by these people. They will actually tell you "Would you like to watch Miss so and so Show for free? We said yes and this person told us to go to this building. From there, a person led us to a table where he was selling Time Share. From there, they took us on a bus to get the "Free Ticket" in a place where it is about an hour away downtown. From there, we were trapped. We can't get out because we didn't have any mode of transportation going back to the strip. We waited there for three hours until finally they gave us our Free Ticket to watch Sheena Easton! Please don't get trap on this deal! You are just wasting you whole day from people marketing Time Shares!!!
Just say "NO!" right away to people saying "Would you like to see Sheena Easton's Show for Free?" or "Would you like for you and your children eat for free at the....so and so...? Just stay away from these people!!!! They just waste your time.

 The ends of the strip get tacky! by firechick Basically realize that anything that sounds 'Too Good to Be True' - IS! You will get offered various scams by various people during your stay, and hawkers on the street will constantly try to stop you or put flyers into your hands. If you are egotistical enough to think you are somehow 'special' to them, and will win whatever they are offering, you will get taken. Realize you are the 400,000th tourist they have spoken to that day, one of many there who they will try to con in Vegas. No need to spend it on really wasteful rubbish like street scam artists who will only leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.
Can't be made bearable.
Walk past them or pretend you don't speak English. Leave a Comment

 Strip joint by janika Nudity exposure! That's right. If you travel to Vegas with children, watch out for people on the street handing out cards with naked women on them!
Try not to bring the kids to this city. While it can be a great entertainment for some, it can be a disappointing experience for children. There are numerous strip joints and bars in Vegas where people are exposed to nudity. I think there are also bordellos in Vegas. These places are trying to advertise them selves with cards. These cards have the name of the place, phone number and a color picture of a naked or half naked woman.
Do not bring children to Vegas. Not only the nudity but as soon as you walk into a hotel or a gas station, or any other public place, you have to watch out for slots and other gambling devices. Children are not allowed near these machines. Leave a Comment

 new york is my favorite place!!!!!!! by excitableone alright amsterdam has pickpockets,new orleans has muggers, vegas has the porn pedlers...these people will do anything to get you to take the hooker guides theyr'e passing out. the mayor has done a lot to stop these annoying little pests,but like all pests they keep coming back.fortunatly you don't have to squash them, just keep walking and say NO!!!! that is unless you want some female company that night???but remember prostitution is NOT legal in clark county,you have to go to parhump or anywhere in northern nevada..the road to reno is littered with brothels!
avoid the tattoo shops on the strip, they are the biggest ripoffs in town !!! even if the prices are better than where your from look into some local shops, just ask any younger bartender in town. if your into good tattoos i have a guy here in vegas thats amazing, if you need that info email me,or heres the name of the shop. paradox studio of dermagraphics, his name is victor.
avoid the taxi's in vegas, they are all crooks and evil people!!! the prices are horrible, and they take you for a drive !! they will make that fare go sky high! if you can rent a car, if you can't do that i guess you'll find out about bad cabbies! Leave a Comment

Cabbie recommendations. NEVER listen to cabbies. theyre scum and they get kickbacks from directing you from good reputableplaces to crappy dives and holes. Luckily we didnt fall for it, but my drunk buddies almost did. (yes, we drank a bit there...) Leave a Comment

Don´t stop if somebody trys to hand you a flyer on the Strip. They usually contain pornographic material and addresses or phone numbers of callgirls. Leave a Comment

by bellagio Beware of the Street Vendors handing out leaflets. They are a nuisance standing outside a lot of the casinos. They try to push their 'tacky' leaflets at you as you are walking by and although they are not troublesome, it's about time they were outlawed. Leave a Comment

Sleezy porn magazines. People hand them out everywhere. Even the women hand them out. It's sad really. They will lie about what it is so you take them. They get paid for each one they give away. Leave a Comment

Avoid the people at the front of casinos promising free tickets to the shows and dinners. You have to agree to a timeshare sales pitch. They're everywhere on the strip, but particularly NYNY.
