12 LAS VEGAS Scams, Rip Offs & Tourist Traps (Watch Before You Go in 2021-2022) ! 

Couple things: 4 Queens still doesn’t charge resort fee. If you get the MGM M rewards credit card, you get free parking at all MGM properties nation wide.

Thanks for the tips Norma

Good info here. Thanks for sharing.

This was excellent! Very informative and I got a lot out of this! Thanks! I did get burned once of my 10 times there on that cd scam as I really thought they needed $5 each towards their new rapping music career! The scammers! You just try to be nice and get ripped off in the process! I really think your vids are just excellent thanks! You still cannot comment from the Roku tv and I watch all my You Tube off there so I hopped onto my laptop to post this for ya!

Those “budget” airlines are so rarely worth it once you add in all the fees.

20 years ago, when I was a tourist here? There were no resort fees, and the properties weren't trying to nickel and dime their guests to death. Now those fees have become epidemic all over the country, and Vegas started that trend in 2009.

Good tips thank you.

Love this informative video and collaboration.

Great tips Pare! I've fallen victim to a few you mentioned (learning experience)

Thanks Bruno!!! Great video!!

Great tips Jay! Also, remember that ALL MGM resort properties offer Free parking to their MLife members who are Pearl and higher. CAB 😊

Thanks and great job you guys! Coming to visit LV in 2 weeks from Chicago…been watching all your vlogs to prep b4 going! Cheers!!!!

Thanks so much for great sharing ❤️❤️ greattng from MACAU

another tip (regarding those bathroom essentials): before going to Target, go down to the front desk and ask if they have whatever it is you need. As you probably paid resort fees, many of the hotels will provide trial size products for free to guests who ask for them. Never pack a toothbrush and toothpaste again.

Great info, definitely more prepared now👍👍

Thanks Jay, those was really useful. With ❤from Iran.

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Great video Jaycation! Always great to see all your friends you all are fantastic tubers! Happy Sunday Jay Jay

Great tips Jay. Liked that John and Norma were part of the video. The only scam I have experienced is the ATM which I used once out of desperation. 😂

Great tips. Subscribed!

Some of those scams you just cannot escape, for example, the resorts fee even for motels in LV. BTW, the $20 tip advise is very helpful.

Thanks!

If you fly spirit and are travelling alone don’t pick a seat, let them pick for you and only bring a carry on. That’s how you avoid fees

Awesome job jay keep on going

Very good info👍

I'm kind of skeptical about the "bottled water scam". Let's look at this logically. If you buy bottled water in bulk, you can get it for 10-15 cents a bottle. Sell it for a dollar and you've made a good profit. To do the scam though, you have to pick up the bottles, rinse them out and fill them up from a tap. In terms of time and labour, it makes no sense to fill old bottles with tap water when fresh bottles of water are so cheap.

I'll be in Vegas tomorrow and just checking your channel again.

Made a trip in the fall 2021 flew Southwest out of Dallas. My first two bags were free. One bag was golf clubs no extra charge for skies, golf clubs. No charge for seat line up in a section like A B C according to when you check in online. Then pick any seat when get on board.

Thanks for the tip! My trip is in November! I can't wait to go wish it was earlier but friends want to go to. I don't think we'll do clubs not are style. the games I can play all but black jack not a good counter so if I drive everything every were is going to charge me and how are the gentleman's clubs are they easy to get in to? And how's the pawn shops? And the body shop bar? TV thing? Worth it? And dig it ? Sorry to many questions to excited to go

Jay, you're great!!!!

Awesome content, me and three others are planning a trip to vegas in April and can not wait. We have been watching you and the other two youtubers to check on things before we go. im curious on any helpful content on renting the lambos for 24hrs. we are planning on renting two of them.

But I love the timeshare presentations. It's funny to poke holes in their presentations. And when they get you one on one, the look on their face when you pull out the financial calculator is priceless. At that point ask them if they'd like to keep going or they can just give you the prize or whatever and save their time.

Going there in January, thanks for the tips!!!

To add on to knowing the casino game your playing. Avoid all 6:5 blackjack tables, only play the 3:2 tables

hello again from England Jay. Looking forward to this one. Most of them are pretty obvious but a fool and his money are soon parted. Have a great weekend.

Very informative video, Jay! What about parking in Planet Hollywood? Isn't that also free if you're staying at another Caesar property?

Thanks

Yo this intro and the music is a freaking banger bro.

thanks

Thank you! We are headed out on Wednesday

really enjoyed your video and great to see Norma, she's awesome

I always go to CVS or Walgreens for my water or my alcohol. That’s a good tip to know.

Solid list, Jay! Avoid the hotel convenience stores at all costs. In addition to CVS and Walgreens, the ABC Stores also have great prices on water and drinks, and there are several on the Strip!

Good video also one trick we use when a cocktail server comes by and offers you a comp drink get the free drink and also get a bottle water which they usually have and tip them / also the water is a nice souviner from the club

Oh wow! I had the bracelet thing happen to me. I was so busy talking to my husband I didn't even see the lady approach and she grabbed my wrist and did it so fast. This is great information about Vegas because we experienced alot of it on our first trip.

Norma is our LV queen!

If you really need an ATM just go into CVS or Walgreens. They have a charge but last time there only 1 or 2 dollars. While there pick up bottled water and liqueur for your room.

AT 12:53 In your video, where is that at? I've always wanted to go to Vegas and go to one of those pool parties.

I haven’t been to Vegas in two years and this vid just makes me want to stay home.

what's your opinion of the discount ticket booths on the strip? We've had good luck with them.

Hey Jaycation, glad to see you.

I’ve read you now need to be a certain status with ceasars to still get the free parking even for hotel guests. Is this true or is parking still free now for hotel guests? I’m staying at the Linq in February

The Flamingo does not charge for parking, if you are a paying guest there. I had to get a Customer Service person to update my room key cards.

The biggest rip offs are the casino games themselves. They're always stacked in the house's favor 😂

Is the boot/tow scam still going on? I experienced this over 10 years ago, and we plan on renting a car.

You can also call your casino host to get in the clubs of the hotel your staying in. It really works if your a higher tier card player of that hotel chain. Caezar’s hotel chain is the best as it dominates on the strip.

Note : If you're flying in, there is a Wells Fargo ATM at the airport. If you bank with them, easy way to dodge fees if you get your gambling cash in LV.

awesome

Frontier Airlines kicked me off a flight to the next day a few hours before departure. I ended up paying extra hotel stay and car rentals.. which end up costing me more than anything else.. the +cost of seating arrangements..never buying a cheap flight

Vegas hustles ! Don't ever come out here unprepared. Use a debit and gamble with a friend. Keep it practical, folks. Stay safe, folks.

Nice video, vegas rules.

I went to Vegas and watch PBR there and there’s a lot of people who scam I didn’t take a picture. This help a lot

LV Hotel workers steal from your room. Don’t leave anything valuable out.

We were at treasure island and did valet option and it costs $30 .

Avelo is another new airline they fly out of smaller airport ie eureka arcata California. Good to know

Just wanted to add for the parking if your a Cesar rewards holder and diamond or higher you always get free parking and valet as well on all there hotels .

Those rip off artists must LOVE you!! lol When you're in Vegas, watch your back, Jay!! Cheers!! :)

8:17 The Bottle Water Selling thing on the strip is also illegal. Clark County passed an Ordinance banning sale of Water and other things on the Strip in 2012.

I'm a frequent visitor to Vegas, but it looks like I have to school you guys. The ATM at Casino Royale is only $3. For those of you who are not familiar with Vegas, Casino Royale is Right next to Harrah's on the Strip.

I go to Vegas quite often Cosmopolitan offers free parking to guests as well as other properties if you have a rewards card. I highly recommend going to CVS or Walgreens off the strip. Strip prices are inflated.

This is why I do not go to Las Vegas or any place in Nevada.

Regarding #9 and the “$20 trick”, I’ve been using that trick since 2005. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. For those times that it didn’t work, the front desk clerk simply gave it back. I see it as a better way to get the upgrade. If you ask for the upgrade without giving the $20, you’re implying that you’re not giving the clerk anything for the upgrade. If it were me and you didn’t drop the $20 with your ID/CC, I’d tell you there weren’t any available. If you did include it, I’d be more inclined to try and help you out. Hope that makes sense. Here’s a tip: don’t give more than $20.

Donald Duck looking mad sketch

Tight thumbnail!

The Dream Team back together!

If performers are on public street You legally can record take pictures and not give them nothing 👍🏻

RESORT FEES, I’ve been gambling since the 90s. I refuse to pay for this new scam. I stay downtown free, from my gambling points. El Cortez. The D & Golden Gate are my regular casinos. The rental car, airport shuttles are a scam. The D has rental cars ready to go on site,

Free to park at Binions if you get validated. You just have to gamble there for a little while.

Ugh we didnt know about the timeshare and we ended up falln for it. Had issues since day 1 and they never helped us fox the issue but kept wanting to charge the money. So annoying! I kept telln my husband not to sign because to me i saw it was just like a freakn membership. U have to pay thousands for a place on top of after finishn payn u have to keep payn? But u only get 2 weeks of the place once or twice a yr? Bs! But they kept pushn n pushn n my hubby gave in. It was our 1st or 2nd time in vegas. Nvr again! Then when i call them out on their fb they block me from commenting.

It looks a little overcast there. Hahaha!

Harrah's has free parking if you're staying there as well.

Go over to South Point. Always free to park. A great place.

Resort fees that you mention--- are charged per night or for the whole stay!

Mgm Mlife and Caesars both have free credit cards which will bump up your Players Card to level that provides free parking. This is kind of essential if you don't gamble yet come to Vegas often with a car.

If you gamble... get a players card. If you get Diamond status with the Caesars card you get free parking, resort fees are waived if you book direct w hotel, free valet if you reach Diamond Elite and many other perks. Plus many other casinos will status match.... including MGM and Golden Entertainment and then you will get their perks as well.

if i am desperate enough to use an ATM in a casino, i don't think i really care how much it cost. just give me the money .LOL i tried the $20 trick on one of the kiosk and it did not work. no slot for it . :)

Wow, this makes me never want to go

The BIG BUS TOURS night tour scam is that when you buy tickets ahead of time, you aren't guaranteed a seat. The website says to arrive 15-20 mins ahead to have your choice of seat, but doesn't say that you potentially could NOT get a seat. We arrived an hour before the bus was to arrive an there was ZERO chance of a seat. Wasted $100 on it.

No timestamps?

When we went to Vegas, we got a great deal for our flight from Dallas. We shopped around and got a good deal within our budget a great Hotel on the strip, there was a fridge in our room. There was a CVS next to our Hotel, we purchased bottled water, beer and a bottle of scotch there. We purchased a 24 hour pass to their great buffet with drinks and wine included. We liked it and just kept re-purchasing it for our entire stay. Food was fresh, good quality and great selection. This kept us away from junk food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included. If you buy it at dinner time, you get dinner fir that night and breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day before it expires. This was all before pre-covid. I think there are more hidden fees etc., now. We gambled on Fremont St. where it was cheaper to gamble and buy souvenirs. We did pay to be transported to and from hotel from and to the airport. We bought the tickets for the bus that goes to Freemont St. and other hotels. I all worked well for us and we didn't feel scammed or anything. Best thing to do is look for deals within your budget and call the hotel ahead of time and ask questions about wi-fi, resort fees and if there buffet, pool and gym is open etc., etc., Airlines have all kinds of hidden fees now. Check carefully before booking your flight.

Don't ever get a drink from the mini bar. A Can of soda is $15, large bottle water are $25

Best hotel for the value is Silver Sevens. Best bed and some of the best food in Vegas

In Cali casino ATM $20 fee

What are those shades? those lens look great!

I just returned from a Vegas trip and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. I’ve always related gambling with food and drinks right. $7.99 prime rib advertisement out front of the casino type stuff. Food everywhere 24 hours a day whatever you want right. No…..first night landing in Vegas I ate Walgreens food. The casinos all we’re closed on a Tuesday evening after 11pm no food sorry there’s a Denny’s open. Ok let’s go see oh crap 45 min wait and it’s past midnight. Walgreens it is. Next morning after not getting the room I reserved but it was fine we go for breakfast. Two people two plates just eggs sausage and a side of pancakes we split and a cup of coffee $60. In the hotel we stayed in. I understand people gotta make money but $15 table minimum and $60 breakfast made me happy I only had one and a half days in Vegas

As a lv street performer I do appreciate tips and no I don’t put a price tags on it

I always trip out on these type of videos. Las Vegas is a tourist trap!! Lol. Buyer beware. Plan ahead. Be smart. And enjoy Las Vegas!

How much does JANET Airlines charge?

Norma is a scene stealer

Like most cities cabs can be a scam especially from the airport. They take the long route using the freeway so it 30-40% more
