Tips for Las Vegas
- Distances along the Strip are longer than they look; use the Monorail, the Deuce bus or a rideshare between far-apart resorts.
- In summer the desert heat is extreme: carry water and avoid long midday walks outdoors.
- See the Neon Museum after dark, when the restored signs are lit; tours sell out, so book ahead.
- Downtown (Fremont Street, the Mob Museum, the Neon Museum) is a few miles north of the Strip; group those sights on one day.
- Most resorts add a nightly resort fee to the room rate; check the full price when booking.
