Attractions and Tips

Gambling is the name of the game in Vegas, and high rollers will find higher stakes at the luxury resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. Those wishing to try their luck at penny slots should seek entertainment downtown.

For free entertainment, enjoy downtown's Fremont Street Experience or the pirate stunt show in front of the Strip's Treasure Island. If you want a break from Vegas’ famous all-you-can-eat buffets, try Sage (fine-dining American) or Le Monde (French cuisine), both on the Strip.

Taxis are the easiest way to get around Las Vegas. It is a surprisingly small city and you can walk from one hotel to the next. Hotels tend to have cheaper rates during the week. Be aware that smoking is permitted in most indoor casino areas, but many now offer non-smoking gambling stations, as well.
