  • Tip Rating:
  • Dont have to many. I think we have a lot of culture since just about every one who comes here or lives here is from somewhere else in the world. Its a great place to meet people and have a blast.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Whatever you do, please dont jump! Very high suicide rate when it comes to Hoover Dam. OH and dont let them lie to you about the history of the dam. People were buried there. Take the hard hat tour and the river rafting tour. Great place to visit. And hit up Lake Mead. Always a dead hooker or two showing up there. I wonder what Jimmy Hoffa is doing?!

    Tips on tipping: Because Vegas...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tips on tipping: Because Vegas is a service-based city, tipping is a big, big deal. Just ask the IRS. You may not be sure how much to tip and when, so here's a quick rundown.

    Bellmen: They usually receive $1 a bag, but an extra tip is suggested if you ask them to make show reservations or if they help you with taxis, etc.
    Valet parketing attendants: We suggest $1 to $2 for valet parking attendants and for maid service each day.

    Cocktail waitresses: About $2 per round is sufficient for a small group (two to three people). Increase it for larger groups. Don't fail to tip, even if your drinks are comped.

    These are just suggestions -- you're always welcome to tip more!

  • Dumb Nevada Laws
    It's still 'legal' to hang someone for shooting your dog on your property.
    It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway.
    Clark County
    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.
    Elko
    Everyone walking the streets is required to wear a mask.
    Eureka
    Men who wear moustaches are forbidden from kissing women.
    Nyala
    A man is forbidden from buying drinks for more than three people other than himself at any one period during the day.

  • Tip Rating:
  • If you're prejudiced, watch yourself. People there are very open minded. If you're opinionated or egotistical, watch your attitude. They don't mind an opinion, but don't push. People from all walks of life live in Nevada and visit. Just be friendly and see how the other people interact. Also, don't be afraid to ask for directions. You don't want to end up on the wrong side of Vegas. Trust me!

    Say Nevada right. They always get it wrong on national news and things like that. It's annoying as hell.
