Local Tips & Insider Advice

  • Walk the Strip at night — free entertainment is everywhere from the Bellagio fountains to the LINQ High Roller
  • Eat cheaply at casino buffets for breakfast or hit In-N-Out on the Strip for a $5 meal
  • Rent a car for one day and drive to Red Rock Canyon — 30 minutes from the Strip and spectacular
  • Book shows and restaurants at least a week ahead; same-day availability for top venues is rare
