Ongoing Las Vegas 'pro-tips' thread - Advice on all things Vegas

[JBR]

Looking forward to a Vegas trip next week. It's been a while. The last time I was in Vegas, a buddy called to tell me the Flames had signed Todd Bertuzzi. Lots of changes.

Follow up as I just landed in Vegas flying Lynx. Zero complaints and would use them again if this is a typical experience with them. Knock wood the flight home is just as smooth.

I've used Flair and Lynx a bunch since their inception and never had any issues. But flying as a solo passenger with a carry-on probably limits the potential problems.

Looking to book a family Vegas trip with young kids. Plan is to stay in the burbs (Henderson etc) and off the strip.

Any good areas people recommend? AirBNB’s or resorts/condos with a kitchenette?

I went to Vegas in February, was my first time there in about 10 years. I was shocked at how insanely expensive everything had become, and encountered almost everything in that video. I have zero plans to go to the US because of the pedo in chief, but even if Trump died and the US somehow returned to normalcy I don't think I'd ever step foot in Vegas again

An office building only a couple weeks removed from a Homicide.

I was there in February for my buddy's wedding, it was planned ages in advance, couldnt be helped, but I cant say it really gave me the urge to want to go back.

I went for a week in April for WrestleMania and pretty much did everything I wanted to. I'm not a gambler and didn't even play the slots once even though I planned on it. Food was expensive but so was San Francisco last year.

The only food deal I'd say I found was the $10 drink cup with free refills for life and that was 2-3 days before I left. I didn't really notice many homeless people but other than my first full day and my last day I stuck to the south area since I spent alot of time at Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena.

I think the only thing that would make me go back is a big event. I swore I wouldn't go back to the US until Trump is gone but now there's rumors Metallica is going to play a bunch of shows at the Sphere next October so hopefully that ends up being bs so I don't have to worry about changing my mind.

Please don't spend your hard earned Canadian money in the USA
