Vegas Tips and Trix

I know Vegas is a week away so there are a few things that are interesting to know:

Weather Forecast: This is the rainy season here. We get rain on a daily basis. Sometimes it's only a shower or it could be raining all day. Next week the highs will be in the low 50's and the lows in the 30's. and while some of you may never leave the Excalibur/Luxor/Mandalay bay corridor, please bring a jacket because even the halls that connect the 3 casinos are chilly.

Transportation: The monorail is up and running from MGM (across from the Excalibur) to the Sahara at the top of the strip. it's 3.00 round trip or 10.00 for a day pass. 14 minutes from the top of the strip to the bottom. Cheaper and faster than a taxi but it just reopened on Xmas day and we are testing it on tourists.

Las Vegas Monorail Info

Tourist Traps: The Metro police have certain laws that they strictly enforce to tourists. Most carry a 48hr cooling period in Clark Co. Detention and a fine.
#1 is Jay-walking. Now every state has those laws but they aren't enforced to the extent Vegas does. If you cross the street, do it in the cross walk or use the above strip crossings.
#2-Identity. Make sure that you always have your ID on you. I know this seems like common sense but you'd be really surprised how many people put cash in their pocket and lock their wallet in their room. Metro and casino security are well know for making ID checks.
#3-If you rent a car while here (and truthfully unless you are going to the mt. or red rock, there really is no need to, obey the traffic laws. If you make an illegal U-Turn it's a 48hr jail time and fine. You aren't excused if you are from out of town, actually they prefer to arrest tourists who are more apt to pay the fine and be gone.

If you want a few bottles for your room, you can pm me and i'll get them for you. The hotels and places closest to the strip are like 2 or 3 times more than those of us who live here. Likewise with other 'recreationals' ..don't bring them on the plane. If you want to have something, wait till you get here and give me list.. i can see what i can find. *disclaimer: this is in no way an endorsement of illegal activity, just a helpful hint*.

On top of Internext and AVN is the Consumer Electronics Show 6-9th. there are 2500 vendors and over 115K in attendees.. so i'd have a stamp to put your website on every dollar you spend in vegas.

If you are gambling, drinks are free. If you aren't they are about $5-7 per drink.

Most Taxi drivers have discount coupons to the strip clubs, so if you are going to a club, ask for a coupon.

Most of all kick back, have fun, mingle and bet with your head, not over it.
