Las Vegas Guide: Safety
The Las Vegas Strip area is busy 24 hours a day, and is safe. However, there are parts of the city in which visitors should not walk alone, even during the day. The best Las Vegas guide safety tip is to avoid walking through dark or unpopulated areas, such as the area between the Strip and Fremont Street. Visitors also should be alert for pickpockets in the large crowds.
It's important to note that jaywalking is a misdemeanor in Las Vegas that carries a fine of $95. When on foot , visitors should stay on the curb until the "Walk" sign appears.
Las Vegas Guide: Transportation
Driving can be difficult in Las Vegas, because of heavy traffic and the difficulty finding parking. The larger resorts have parking lots, and some also provide free shuttles, trams and trolley buses to major casinos and attractions, as well as to and from the airport. And here is a Las Vegas guide tip that can save time: It is possible to check into some hotels remotely from the airport.
A new monorail is scheduled to be in operation on the Strip by January 2004. For more information, go to http://www.goingtovegas.com/monorail.htm. There is also a bus system within the city called CAT. To obtain a Las Vegas guide on the CAT system,, go to www.rtc.co.clark.nv.us/cat_routes_matrix2.htm.
Taxis are readily available in Las Vegas, but shuttles are generally less expensive at $5 to $7 per person, Las Vegas guides note. Shuttles operate at all hours between many of the major Las Vegas guide hotels and attractions. Because shuttles are on schedules, however, taxis may be more time-efficient.. Since most people do a lot of walking while visiting the city, one Las Vegas guide tip to heed: bring comfortable walking shoes.
