	Be Aware / Be Prepared: Be prepared to walk.	Tip Rating:

Distances are extremely deceiving in Las Vegas. The casino next door may look just next door but it's actually a long hike ... and by the time you scope out the inside of multiple huge strip casinos during the day, you've walked a long way. Unless you plan to just stick to one casino (and what fun is that!) you can expect to hike many, many miles while in Las Vegas.

BLUEMAN GROUP AT LUXOR

by JOHNNY_ENGLISH
Send Photo to a Friend

This Is More A Tip Than A Warning But I Did Experience It Myself And Hope By Passing It On It May Be Of Assistance To You. I Had Booked To See Blueman Group At The Luxor Hotel On The Wednesday Evening At 10.00pm And Picked Up My Ticket The Previous Day. My Evening Was Based Around Seeing This Show So When I Got There Approximately 30 Minutes Before The Show Only To Find It Had Been Cancelled Due To Poor Ticket Sales I Was Disappointed To Say The Least. So If You Have A Show Booked I Advise You Calling The Box Office A Couple Of Hours Earlier To Make Sure Its Definitely On So That Way Ensuring Your Trip And Evening Is Not A Waste. I Did Get To See Them The Very Next Evening And It Was A Great Show In Front Of A Sold Out Audience.

This is not true. Well, it may be true depending on where you go, but I spent some time alone in Vegas and this did not happen to me. I'd be warned about it, was concerned, but it didn't happen. Most people are generally friendly and I didn't even have the occasion of anyone saying anything out of line. The closest I came to having this happen was while having a drink at Bellagio and waiting for a friend when the man sitting next to me asked if I was local. I don't think he meant anything by it and there was never a time when anyone presumed anything of this sort about me.

never leave it unattended

Never leave any slot machine that you're playing for any reason, ie: change, grabbing a container for your winnings, whatever. People have been known to sit down at your machine and assume your place, keeping your winnings or credits.

Watch out for the buffets; they're vastly overrated. For the most part, they're cheap and they're filling, but the food is about as tasty and satisfying as eating plastic.

If you're an unmarried couple, you could find it easy to end up married. It's fast, easy, and there are lots and lots of churches here!

Some of the hard-to-find things in Vegas... Clocks, drinking fountains, and exits from the large casinos. There was no coffee maker in our Harrah's Hotel room. Club Cappuccino, the cafe, in the lobby, has coffee... $3.00 for a 20 oz. cup. Water was even more expensive! A 16 ounce bottle of water in Harrah's cost $3.25; that's $26.00 a gallon! However, a 16 ounce bottle of water off the strip could be found for one dollar.

The light plane ride crossing the Grand Canyon is the most death defying experience I have had. It's slightly worse than falling off a cliff edge. But, it's the best way to see the canyon, and the quickest way to Las Vegas. So, live with it… Americans are good flyers.... Oh, by the way, the loud beep is not a crash warning. It apparently happens when you try to land cross wind…
