>where to stay
first timers, stay on the strip to experience it. returning visitors, avoid the strip cuz it’s a rip off
>where to eat
too many restaurants to pick from. figure out your budget and what kinda food you want and go from there
>where to avoid
for me, the strip and strip clubs
>gambling info
don’t gamble much. the time to gamble in vegas is long gone. play a hundred bucks of blackjack or make a sports bet and do other shit besides throw money away in casinos
>comps info
idk never chased comps
>promos and specials
las vegas advisor has a decent coupon book. also consider going during slow times like mon-weds, or in august and december
>best pools
circa has the best pool
>best museums
mob museum is fun and so is pinball museum
>bars and nightclubs
there is a bar every fifty steps. pick your poison whether you want a basic casino bar, non casino bar, piano lounge, fancy cocktails, speak easy, or whatever
>free shit to do
hike at red rocks, fremont street music, people watching, bellagio conservatory, idk i enjoy just walking around when it’s not super hot
>concerts, sports, etc
knights games are fun. ufc is fun but too expensive, even the womens basketball games are fun

>vegas
>tips
Go literally anywhere else unless you've never been and just *have* to cross it off the bucket list. Vegas post covid is
>DUDE WEED LMAO
>hotel fees up the ass for the bare minimum often non staffed check in or wait 30 minutes behind pedro, jamal, patel families all slob touristing it even in the nicer places cuz my benefits and dat klarna
>food quality has dropped while prices have increased 30-100% enjoy your sysco slop
>everything is now an app or online sign up for the interesting things some places will get you in if you walk up but surcharge
>the shows have all changed
>alcohol prices went full retard
>buffets are all but gone yes I know they "exist" but they are just upper class golden corral now
>gambling odds are better on polymarket or fucking gacha at this point
>muh free drinks for gambling doe are gone or just 1/2 a shot per glass
>taxi services somehow worse than ever
>Airport SOMEHOW is even worse (I do not understand this they had a huge influx of cash during covid)

Worst part is everything is just kept up with the bare minimum often there in name only and closed but still "there" so they can advertise it actually exists. There really isn't anything worth doing unless you tack on a few days to a show or company event you are going to and just want to see a few things. Like COVID and Weed just killed it, online gambling has made it so that there isn't any reason for it to come back; don't get me started on the water and new airport issue. If you have money fly to Macau, if you're in NA just go to anywhere gambling is legal now; hell I sure atlantic city is putting more effort into attracting people than fucking vegas is these days.

I’m an oldfag. I’ve been to Vegas around 40 times, prob 2/3 for work and 1/3 for fun. The only mention I have ever heard about Vegas being dead and >muh brown post COVID is on /trv/

Vegas is an attraction for people all over earth. It’s a diverse place. It has always been a diverse place. Nothing has changed. If you’re a white trash chud racist, stay home. You won’t enjoy people from all over the planet having fun together in Vegas.

Thanks Tourism of Vegas powered by chatgpt! Wow I best book today!

>>2899356
Lmao these tourism boards promoting the shittiest places like las Vegas

>>2899356
>>2899359
>Vegas tourism board paying to influence a broke white trash chud to visit
Lol
They don’t want your kind in Vegas

>>2899360
Anon if you've been to vegas since it reopened or hell even when it was opening after COVID you know slob tourists make up 80% of the places you go to these days. WEED tourist from aussies and other random people flying in frontier is a huge business, the strip fucking REEKED at first then it spread everywhere else. The amount of influencers trying to do stupid shit is also annoying worse than any pedro's offering you cards for a club. The amount of families who let their shitskin kids run around any hour of the day is insane.

The women going are slobs, the staff is non existent in places, food is obviously the Sysco bulk ordered stuff, it's clear that no one has touched up the rooms since covid, etc.

Learn to read, it's fine if you need to check it off your bucket list and do a few things, not going to blame anyone for that one and done adventure. It has 0 fucking value to revisit, the pull it had precovid where you could get the some deals for a 4 day weekend on the cheap with a show or two are gone, and with it any reason to go back.

>Inb4 uhh well if you stay in this specific hotel 30 minutes from everything LV is known for and then go do these specific things it's fun
Yeah, so is some place like Phoenix and a hell of a lot cheaper.

>>2899376
Yeah man I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve been a ton and what you described isn’t my experience at all. I rarely smell weed, I eat delicious meals, I stay in nice, well kept hotel rooms and there are beautiful women everywhere. Families with young kids are few and far between.

I’ll continue to go back regularly and have fun. (You) can stay home and seethe while posting 900 words of hyperbole and lies

why is this board so anti-vegas? love vegas

my usual trip
>land around 8pm fridsy
>hotel by 9

>either do a show (if my fiancee comes) or try some table games or sportsbook
>get drunk and gamble until midnight
>fly out the next morning before 11am
>home by 3pm sunday with some time to decompress before work monday
my main advice: keep the trip short. dont nobody need to be in vegas more than 48 hours

>>2899392
>>land around 8pm fridsy
>>hotel by 9
LMAO at least try with your larp there anon

>>2899395
it takes you more than an hour to get out of the airport? why? i usually call a uber as soon as i get off the plane and its there when i get to the parking garage

>>2899392
>Another tourism board post that would describe zero people who ever read /trv/

>>2899404
Wasting your time anon he’s a schizo who shows up in every Vegas thread. Accuses everyone of never having been to Vegas like he’s the only person who has ever visited a place that gets 40 million visitors per year

Anon 1 hour from touchdown to your hotel room is not really happening unless you're going specifically to the MGM and at 8PM on a Friday no less, that check in is fucking snails pace.

Also leaving around 11AM on sunday and back home by 3PM where the fuck are you flying to. PHX or SLC, no way you're getting out of LAX to home that fast with the cluster they have.

If you are doing that schedule for real, that's one hell of a expense for ~36 hours in vegas

>>2899416
You’re definitely autistic
>land around 8
>leave before 11
NO CHANCE THESE TIMES DON’T LINE UP PERFECTLY TO THE MINUTE

>>2899418
Usually when someone says around X they mean between +/- 10 minutes, Before 11 can mean 10:45

>>2899392
Fuck offwoth larpshit

Other important thing:

Summer Las Vegas heat is something else. Unless you're used to extreme heat you won't want to be outside for any length of time.

Winter Las Vegas has warm days and nights that get close to freezing

I assume you mean at the gate from taxi as "arriving" because every time I've flown into LAS it's always a shitshow of waiting for the gate, taxi, changes etc. One hour to hotel is doable, I hope you mean just getting to the desk and checking in not in your room like it sounds.
Day 1 you spent 3 hours out? Because you said in bed by 2AM
Day 2 sounds fine but you're telling me you see Vegas for 15 hours.
3rd day you're basically dashing to the airport if your flight is before 11 as those lines get fucked and Pre-Check line is also fucked because everyone else post covid has it now.

How much are you paying for these 18 hours of Vegas? Spirit ain't doing those cheap 60 dollar round trips anymore and frontier has stopped for a while. Those only went to like 3 airports anyways, and if you more or less spent 3-4 hours in the air you'd only be at a handful.

I get weekenders are a thing but this seems like such a waste of time and money for what amounts to about ~18 hours of fun.
>inb4 muh point deals
The resort fees basically negate any and all savings, not to mention uber costs are fucked and you ain't backtracking to "well I take the bus actually" bs.


These are the kinds of posts that delegitimize anything Vegas has to offer because any critical points made at Vegas basically get met with a LARP or "heh chump doesn't know the secret :)". Meanwhile the people who have gone, some I will say have the rose tinted glasses on when they shouldn't, bitch about legit issues are just brushed off.

t. goes to vegas for work events

>autist cannot fathom someone else might enjoy vegas differently than him
jesus christ you lot are not real people

>>2899710
>I enjoy spending $5000 and an entire weekend in planes, taxis, airports so I can give my money to rude wagies and eat shit goyslop waaaaaah of course everyone wants to do that

No thanks sounds miserable id rather do almost anything else even get a tooth drilled

At the end of COVID I was leaving the country, flying out of Vegas thought I'd spend a week there do some casual gambling. Having been there a few times so I knew prices, looked for hotels saw the outrageous resort fees, saw buffets shut down, outrageous prices for drinks and food everything I just stayed in mesquite for $40 a night and didn't even gamble I'm not a paypig I don't have to go. It's now for hardcore gambling addict, coomer loser rich fucks and foreigners, that's fine it was never required. You miss nothing by not going

>>2899721
$5k?
Is this another autism thing where you don’t understand the value of money?
