It’s an age-old passport question: to carry or not to carry? The most important thing is not to mislay it. Undoubtedly the best way to avoid this is to leave your passport in a hotel safe. 99% of Vegas hotels will have one of these and it can bring real peace of mind. While it’s useful to have a passport to hand when you’re renting a car or trying to enter a nightclub, it is often possible to get by with a valid driving license and a photocopy of your passport. If you really need your passport with you then it is a good idea to invest in a money belt that you can hide somewhere on your person.

Tips

EXCHANGING CURRENCY

Exchanging currency is one of those things that happens a lot in Vegas, because for some reason people seem to hand over their dollars in big buildings called casinos! Should you need to use this service you can either go to a bank, or most casinos will have the facility to change your money onsite. Indeed it is often the case that the exchange rates are better in Vegas casinos than at the airport or your hotel. Why? Because the casinos expect you to spend all those crisp new notes almost as soon as you have them in your hand. Have you got the will power to prove them wrong?

Tips

UNDERSTANDING LEGALITIES Las Vegas is generally pretty louche when it comes to, well, pretty much everything, but there are a few rules and regulations to keep in mind. While it’s ok to wander down the strip with a beer in your hand, it’s a very bad idea to do the same in a moving vehicle. Casinos tend to be very security conscious so unless you want a forceful tap on the shoulder it’s a good idea not to take photos anywhere near the tables. Tipping is more or less mandatory in Vegas: a dollar or two per drink minimum. You can’t gamble or drink in Vegas until you are 21 years of age. Remember to drink and gamble responsibly whatever age you are!

Tips

CALCULATING TAX

One thing that UK travellers to Las Vegas – and indeed other parts of the US – may not be used to is tax being calculated at the point of sale. This happens in restaurants and retail outlets, and may be confusing as products tend to be advertised at their pre-tax price. At the point of writing there is an 8.1% sales tax on purchases and a 12% tax on hotel rooms in Las Vegas. Due to this discrepancy between advertised prices and actual sales prices it is commonly accepted that sales assistants do no expect to be tipped. This, however, is not a hard and fast rule – if you feel you have received good service offer a tip.

Tips

TIPPING

Tipping is par for the course in America. If you don’t do it you’ll spend your holiday running from establishment to establishment like some kind of fugitive. Las Vegas runs on great hospitality and the cogs are oiled with healthy tips for good, great and excellent service. If you are eating out, 15-20% of your total bill is a good rule of thumb for a tip. If you are tipping at gaming tables, it is always good practice to hand over a small bet to croupiers, keno runners and attendants. For hotel workers who carry your bags it’s OK to hand over one or two dollars. For concierge services five dollars is acceptable. Get used to it – it’s the rules!

Tips

LEARNING TO GAMBLE

For most visitors to Vegas, a quick overview of the rules of some of the popular games will suffice. You can pick up this information online very quickly. The next stage in your training might involve talking to a guy in a cowboy hat at a bar, or a friendly concierge. Some games – like poker for instance – involve complex strategies that can take minutes to learn and years to master. The main thing to remember is to have fun and not to ‘chase it’. While winning in Vegas can be a euphoric experience, losing can create a black hole in your budget. Good luck!

The Bonneville Transit Center is a transfer hub for many routes, making it easy to get around the city. The Deuce route along Las Vegas Boulevard runs 24 hours a day, while most other routes operate between 5.30am and 1.30am.

TAXIS

A popular way to get around Las Vegas, there are plenty of taxi companies that will take you to your destination, especially at ranks outside of hotels and resorts. A taxi from McCarran International Airport to a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip will cost you between 15 to 30 dollars. Unlike the movies might have you believe, and cool as it is, hailing a cab is not really acceptable practice on the Strip. Taxi drivers can receive a ticket for picking you up this way, so head for the nearest taxi rank or ask your hotel to ring a taxi for you.

Transport

LIMOUSINES

You can really get in on the glitz and glamour of Vegas by exploring the city in a limousine. Hit the Strip in a simple stretch limo for 7-8 passengers, or climb aboard a powerful luxury vehicle with a disco ball or hot tub. A stretch limousine will cost you around 50 dollars per hour – depending on which company you choose – whereas more luxurious options will cost you double and then some. Limousine drivers can’t approach you, so if you’re in the Las Vegas party mood it’s up to you to approach the vehicle and ask if they can take a fare. You’re in Vegas, so why not experience everything it has to offer?

Transport

RENTAL CARS

Many big and local brands operate car hire services in Las Vegas. You can rent a car just a few miles from the airport when you land, which makes getting into the centre of the city a smooth experience. Be aware that this can be a slightly more expensive option. If you fancy doing some spontaneous day trips, keep an eye out for car rental stations near your hotel instead and you might save some money. Alternatively book in advance to ensure availability. Have you decided on a particular car rental company for your Las Vegas adventure? Check the rates constantly, since these can vary in different seasons. Don’t leave it too long to book, in case you miss out on a good deal before you travel!
