I've worked on Las Vegas Blvd in multiple aspects of hotel operations for about 10 years now. Please do not do the $20 "trick", and PLEASE with sprinkles on top don't get angry with the Front Desk Agent if an upgrade is not available! Not every Front Desk Agent is going to accept a bribe, and sometimes an upgrade is simply not possible even for guests who are willing to pay for it the correct way. Plus accepting the $20 "trick" can get people fired. These hotel companies take their bottom line extremely seriously and you are inadvertently putting an innocent person just trying to do their job in an awkward spot.

Great video! One tip as I get older is that even though it’s hot outside in the summer, the air conditioning in the casinos or restaurants can be very cold. I bring a light cardigan or pretty shawl to put over my shoulders.

My husband and I went to Vegas for our honeymoon. We walked 8 miles in one day. We decided to walk from TI to Excalibur and back. We originally wanted to just walk to Excalibur to build up our appetite for the buffet since we got the 2 for 1 deal. Then we decided to just walk back after and explore all the casinos and shops on the way back.

All solid rookie mistakes… I think the biggest one is going with a large group without a plan… you will waste so much time with trying to figure out what to do. Do your research before your trip, and come up with a general itinerary. 20$ trick is such a basic move 😂 Having credit card status is the best way to get a real upgrade and not just a room with a view.

Funny how we are experts in the price of Modello. Another good piece of advice is to plan and make dinner and show reservations ahead of your trip if you really want to go somewhere. A lot of times you cant get a good seat or dinner reservations while you are there. Great video. Also if you drive to Vegas make sure your vehicle is in good working order and subscribe to AAA like a couple of our good friends lol.

I'm not a LV rookie & I've still made a couple of these mistakes! I once bussed from Fremont Street back to my room on the strip at midnight, but got off the bus to use a bank ATM. Mistake! It was a dark, seedy neighborhood & that was the last bus at that stop! That left me on foot to The Strat where I found an active bus stop. Scary experience!

My experience with the $20 trick: 1) half the time it works, the other half it doesn't. 😅 2) if you book thru a third party company (not the hotel directly) the front desk may not be able to upgrade. Again. Just my experiences

Go to a grocery store, buy some food, drinks, etc and get cash back. The service fee, if any, should be smaller. Buy a book of stamps at a post office and get some cash back. Go buy something at a Target or a Wal-mart and get some cash back. You could end up with at least $100, probably more. It can be refreshing to get away from the gambling, the noise of the casinos, the crowds, etc.

WOW!!!! Awesome tips!!!! You covered most of them. If I had to add one more. Be careful if you take a CAB to your hotel. If they ask you if its the first time you've been to Vegas, they will take the long way to get to your hotel. Try using and Uber or Lyft. Much cheaper! and one more tip: Do NOT put your cell phone in your back pocket where it sticks out. If you go to Freak-mont Street and its crowded, people can bump into you and take your phone without you knowing. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Your video is awesome. I have a question for you. When booking your flight and hotel, what source should you use?? Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz OR should you book directly at the Hotel and airlines website? Thanks :)

I carry about a grand in cash now first time I went to vegas I just had like 40 in cash and I got hammered on atm fees. I never count my money or leave my phone on a restaurant table pick pockets can swipe a phone in under a second if left on a tabletop. I also drink a Pedialyte as soon As I arrive folks forget that vegas is not sea level and it is dry so those things will make you drunk faster and dehydrated they end up blacking out.

1) Most of the hotel rooms on the strip do not include a coffee maker. I purchased my own 1-cup coffee maker which I put in my suitcase and then set up in my room. So I can enjoy my early morning coffee, instead of waiting in line downstairs and paying $6 at Starbucks! 2) The local government has established fixed (not to exceed) cab fares between the airport and strip hotels. Don't allow your cab or Uber Driver to take a longer route. Pay cash to the driver to save on taxes. At least half of the cab drivers in Vegas are foreign born and their English is "terrible." Don't be surprised if they are very difficult to talk to.

This happens way more than people may realize. I used to work as a slot attendant for a casino in Laughlin. I cannot count the number of times I've been called over to a machine and the guest is complaining about how their $100 only lasted a few spins, just to find out they were not playing $0.01 -- but $0.10 denominations. And -- NO -- the casino will not refund you the money back. It's YOU'RE responsibility to figure out what denom you're playing.

A rookie mistake that we fell victim to when we went is not taking advantage of the monorail/trams. While for a group setting the taxi services can be convenient, the costs add up fast. Several resorts on the strip are connected by walkways/connecting halls, and certain ones close enough have trams to get around (Excalibur-Luxor-Mandalay Bay, Park MGM-Aria-Bellagio, etc). And the monorail ticket over several days can cost as much as the taxis you might take on just one.

HYDRATE!!! I went from the Sphere to the Wynn shops, a 10 minute walk. I nearly passed out. I thought I was okay not bringing my empty water bottle and filling it with ice like I had done before because I thought I was acclimated...HUGE mistake. I crawled to the Fashion Show food court for 2 bottles of water. Instantly I saw beads of sweat on my arm. I suggest putting a bit of Himalayan Salt (for electrolytes) and a pinch or packet of sugar (yep, for carbs/energy) in an empty water bottle and fill it with ice (no water). The ice, and especially hotel ice, will melt real quick. And I'm definitely a timeshare person...every beautiful woman I see, I always ask "can I share some time with you?".

I'm planning a return trip for later this fall and this list is going to come in handy for sure. P.S. That player card tip is no joke. I got an MGM Rewards card last time I went and even with my zero points at Sapphire tier I still get room comp offers - it's the whole reason I'm able to afford this upconing trip!

We might do it after a couple days, sometimes when you have time stamps viewers will not watch more of the video, but we also know it can be helpful for the viewer!

Biggest mistake you’re going to make is simply going to Vegas thinking you’re going to have a good time, evidently this is a minefield where not only nothing is real.

Do not walk anywhere. Walking through one hotel is quite enough. If you are going to another hotel you take a cab.

Not sure if it's still the case but fee at Casino Royale ATM is $3. Also, when I was there in November, Walgreens only offered 1 cash back transaction in a 24 hour period.
