Travel tips
A Little Limo Splurge
For about $25 dollars more than a cab, you can take a limo from the airport to your hotel, avoid the taxi line, and feel like a VIP. You can also ask the driver to swing by the Vegas sign for a fun photo op! Presidential limo is one of the more popular Las Vegas limo providers.
Say It With A Smile
Heavy tipping is not a must at the front desk for an upgrade. Sometimes a friendly smile and asking politely can go a long way.
Don’t Overpack!
Resist overpacking, lugging big luggage, and risking overweight airline fees. You’ll likely pick up some souvenirs, so leave space in your suitcase anyway. Know if you need anything once you’re there, shopping is everywhere.
Shuttle And Save
There’s an airport shuttle in Vegas, so if you’re on a budget and don’t mind making a few stops, then taking the shuttle will be your best ride to the airport.
Must-do Museums
Las Vegas has many museums and galleries well worth visiting, many of which are free. Discover a cultural and historic side of Sin City, like the Mob Museum that explores the history of the mob in Vegas.
Avoid Taxi Fees
Something to think about when you want to get around Las Vegas is saving money using taxis. Taxi stands are at every hotel and most businesses around the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas. Most all taxi cabs offer you the convenience of using a debit or credit card to pay your fare. Please know that while this is convenient, it does come with a price! Most cab companies charge $3-$4 extra dollars for this convenience per transaction. Therefore, if you take 10 – 12 cab rides during your Las Vegas vacation, this can be an additional $30 – $48 dollars you will have to pay above the fare. Our recommendation is to always pay cash, which avoids this surcharge. Remember to always tip your driver and never try to hail a cab while on the Strip. Matt at We Know Vegas!
Save Big Sunday Thru Thursday
Booking your trip from Sunday through Thursday will save you a considerable amount of money on your room costs. Saturday nights can be upwards of 3-4 times the cost compared to during the week.
Photograph In Case You Forget
After a long day or night of Vegas fun, it’s easy to forget stuff, like your room number. Take a picture of your room number and driver’s license, just in case…
Checking Into Rehab
The Rehab pool at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino undoubtedly has notoriety. It was the location of the TRUTV reality show called REHAB Party at the Hard Rock. With the arrival of new and superior pools such as Wet Republic and Drai’s Beach Club, it’s best to save your trip to Rehab for a Sunday. The allure that landed it on television is still alive and well on Sundays. When choosing a pool the other days of the week, there are finer choices.
Go Beyond Gambling
Vegas is so much more than gambling. Make sure to enjoy the world-class restaurants, shopping, shows, entertainment and attractions, not to mention all the free things to do in Vegas!
