Getting Around
Town
Taxis are an expensive way to get from place to
place in Las Vegas. However, they are the most
efficient and quickest choice of travel. The taxi
system in Las Vegas is very organized and finding a cab to get to your next casino or show will
be easy to find, unlike NY for example.
Buses are an inexpensive way to get
around Vegas with one super advantage:
it lets you do some sightseeing while
laying back and enjoying the ride. They
are mostly used on the Strip or to get
to or from the airport to downtown. The
only drawback is that they only run from
5:30 A.M. until 1:30 A.M.
The Las Vegas monorail runs along the strip and can be a
fun way to travel around town. However it can be on the
expensive side and only makes stops at certain locations. It
also may take a little longer to get from place to place since
it winds through town making stops at various hotels but it
is a great way to take some nice pictures as you go through
Vegas.

This is one of your best options
to get form place to place on
the strip. The casinos are located close enough together that
getting to your next destination
is relatively easy. It’s also free,
which makes it an even better
option and with the gigantic buffet meals you get at most casinos, you’ll need some walking
done before really affecting the
waistline and the wallet.

Do’s and Don’ts
This is one of your best options to get form place to place on the strip. The
casinos are located close enough together that getting to your next destination is relatively easy. It’s also free, which makes it an even better option
and with the gigantic buffet meals you get at most casinos, you’ll need
some walking done before really affecting the waistline and the wallet.
Make sure your payouts are correct. Dealers are human and make mistakes. It’s not uncommon for a dealer to give the wrong amount of chips
when you win. Always make sure you receive the correct amount.
Know the rules of the game. Before you play a new game at a casino,
make sure to know the rules first. Most casinos will hold lessons for certain games that are completely free to players. Take advantage of this free
service and save yourself some headaches in the future.
Flaunt your winnings. Showing off or bragging about your latest score in
a casino can lead to catastrophic results. There are thieves and scammers
everywhere in the world and Vegas is no exception. If you win a large
amount, ask for a security guard to escort you to the cage or your car. The
casino will be more than happy to assist you and keep you safe.

of Free Stuff
Free Bets

games just to get you playing ion their casino. The
most common is to get some courtesy credit to enjoy a few rounds of free slots. There are no stipulations on these bets and if you win, the money is
yours to keep, however make sure to ask about any restrictions before risking your
money in any game.

explains rules of certain games. It will also be your
guide for better understanding what the casino offers.
Coupon Books

Comps
The best part of Vegas is getting comped. A
comp is when the casino gives you something
as a reward for playing there. Your loyalty is important to a casino and thus, you get free stuff.
These gifts or rewards can be in the form of a
free buffet or a free night’s stay in one of their
suites. To get comped you need to be playing a
good bit or win a large amount. The casino likes high volume players especially when
they win.
You can also earn points by using a comp
card at most casinos. These cards are free to
obtain simply by asking a casino employee
where to sign up for one. Any time you play
a game, present your comp card and your
play will be tracked. Even if you don’t get
anything while you’re playing, you will get
offers in the mail for free hotel rooms, and
various other rewards to come back.
