13 Of the Worst Tourist Traps in Las Vegas. Isn't the whole of Las Vegas a tourist trap? Yes, Las Vegas is designed to attracts tourists, but tourist traps are those who deliberately mislead and overcharge or who use tempting offers to lure the unsuspecting tourist. They don’t care if you ever come back they got your money once and hook new suckers daily. I do not consider tourist traps things that are popular with tourists, I like popular tourist attractions! That’s why they are popular, people like them!

1 - Club Promoters on the strip
If there’s one rule of thumb in the Las Vegas nightlife scene is you get what you pay for. The Las Vegas strip is full of promoters offering free VIP pases to just about any club. They promise free drinks or to bypass the line. The deals are usually to good to be true. Bypass the line is usually only good early in the night when there is no line. And free drinks might only be up until a certain time. And never pay for a VIP pass on the strip, the promoter is already getting a cut from the club when
2- the gelato stand in the Forum Shops which I'm calling out because of the $10 for two small scoops
3 - Time share people asking "how long are you in town for", "can I interest you in show tickets"
Don't listen to the timeshare people. Just keep walking- don't talk to them/don't make eye contact with them. Their free show tickets are a trap and a waste of time. They won’t cost you money, but will cost you your precious time.
4 - the rides on top of the Stratosphere. Three rides on top of the Strat...$36.
5 - Posing for pictures on the strip with characters...whether they be Elvis, or show girls, or a character from whatever the latest movie is.
6 - RESORT FEES... just put them in the price already!!! We ALL know they're mandatory!!! That $17 isn’t $17 when it has a $40 resort fee!
7- Cabo Wabo, PBR, & Margaretville below average food not worth the price. The setting sucks you in.
8 - Restaurants endorsed by celebrity chefs. You can expect to fork over $300-400 for a meal for 2 people at some of these places
9 - Three Card Monte
Also known as a shell game, you’d think everybody would know about this, but it’s still alive and kicking in Vegas on the strip. Dealers setup a makeshift table with a cardbox box or something and ask players to be on a card that will be shuffled with the others. If you pick correctly you double your money. Except when they shuffle they switch your card with another one all together. You can never win.
10 - Bacchanal Buffet -- $64.99 for dinner. Want to skip the line and make reservation? Book the vip package for $94.99 a person!
13 -
The High Roller Rollercoaster & Madame Tussaud's
Some more things to avoid in Las Vegas:
Any margarita under $3.
Poker, BJ, and craps after drinking heavily.
Friendly "single" women at bars.
Watch or hold something for a stranger
Accept a casino casino chip from a stranger in exchange for cash
Set your purse or bag on the floor when playing
Wade in the Bellagio (or any other) fountain
Allow your cab drive to use the tunnel "to avoid construction"
Be aware of the fact that many of the monorail stations are set way back from the strip and it is a hike to get to/from them. I would only use it if I were going to the Sahara/Hilton/convention center (others will disagree- but I am sticking to this advice!).
Never take the Deuce if you have to be at a certain place at a certain time (or- at least- leave plenty of time to get there). The Deuce can be painfully slow and crowded.
Don't forget to DRINK WATER and moisturize or you will go home looking like a hungover albeit happy lizard
Cirque du'Soleil- all of them.
Don't take a shuttle from the airport. It is almost as cheap to take a cab
DO NOT see the Criss Angel show
Don't get off of Freemont Street in any direction

It's actually done to keep the homeless from camping on them. They also have people to shoo them off the walkways over the streets. Just head in and plonk down at a set at an empty slot machine and rest if you can't handle whatever hike you set off on. No one actually forces you to play them. Or on one of the many short walls or rails that run along some of them. Or inside the shop areas of places like Ceasar's, Planet Hollywood, etc, that are accesable straight from the strip and do have benches...and again no one forces you to shop once inside.

Ok, I work on the Strip so I would like to explain some things. The hotel/casinos are gouging people now, I will admit that, but I want to explain why. (And I'm not in favor of or against any of this, I'm simply explaining) 1. Vegas is totally corporatized now. As with any corporation, bottom line is all that matters. Always remember this. 2. The reason many tourists, like you, complain about the Vegas of today is because you remember a time when Vegas wasn't like this. Once upon a time, you parked for free, there were no resort fees, food was all cheap, and most of your "vacation money" went towards gaming or shows. There are a couple reasons this has changed. - Most major cities in the U.S. that have tourism (L.A., New York, Chicago, Miami, Honolulu, etc etc) have been charging parking and resort fees for a long time. The corporations of Vegas saw this but stayed away from it for a long time. However, they have recently jumped on the bandwagon with these fees because they said to themselves, "We're a major tourist destination just like those other cities, so we have the right to charge for the same things they are." - The 2nd and more vital reason is because the tourist dynamic in Vegas has changed and Vegas is changing with it. The Vegas of yesteryear was cheap with rooms, food, and parking because everything was subsidized by the gaming revenue. They made so much money from gaming, that they could afford to make very little from everything else. They would comp people rooms, food, transportation, or whatever, just to get them in the door because they could count on the tourists to gamble. This is not happening anymore. You need to remember, the prime demographic that all corporations covet is the young crowd, and the young people of today are not nearly as interested in gambling as the older generations were. Young people coming to town now are more interested in the food scene (celebrity restaurants), nightclubs, and drinking. Even the older crowd is not gambling as much as before. Without the gaming revenue, Vegas can no longer afford to make everything else cheap the way it used to be. I just read where July 2018, the airport here saw record numbers of tourists come through, but if you look at other articles, the corporations are reporting gaming revenue is down across the board in their quarterly earnings reports. 3. There are now casinos ALL OVER AMERICA, and many people don't need to travel to Vegas anymore to get their gambling fix. This has also greatly impacted Vegas's bottom line. This is why Vegas has changed. This is a reactionary town. They transform with the trends they see happening around them, rather than starting a trend. Hope this helps clear it up for you.

TRIPxCORE -- good points.. I live here too. NV pulled in more tax revenue that any other state ... 425,000,000... taxes on that are some 71 million. Supposedly going for education.. we have yet to see that happen.. so as far as the Casinos looking out for us or you? Excuse me, corporations?? You’re shit out of luck. They will Continue to gouge us, or them (tourists). Good points though.. but always remember, corporations don’t care about you, and vote blue in Nov.

@VegasLoungeAct
@VegasLoungeAct 5 лет назад
But marijuana tax revenue goes to the government. The casinos don't see any direct revenue from that. They might only see ancillary revenue from tourists coming to Vegas specifically for the marijuana that happen to stop in a casino or hotel and spend money.

What you said about the Times Share ppl is 100% true. My wife and I were in Vegas for my birthday (1/21), and we literally wasted 6-7 hours to listen to a “too good to be true” presentation. Then, at the end when we said we weren’t interested in becoming “owners” they became very aggressive and started acting as if we owed them something. Take the advice, don’t fall for it!

My husband and I went to Vegas in Feb. (2019). We had several people trying to stop us while just passing through the casinos. And, as the guy said in the video, that is exactly the things they asked as we walked by (like where we were from, how long we were going to be there, and also asked if we were wanting to or planning to see any shows). We didn't know what it was for or what the catch was, so after a while, we were curious and finally stopped to see what it was all about. Well, the guy we talked to was pretty straight forward and told us about the time share and how exactly it would work and what to expect and what was actually required of us to get the free stuff offered, which was 2 tickets to a show of our choice, $50 for either gambling or a $50 voucher to eat at a restaurant from a list they gave us (we chose to eat-LOL) and we also got a free 3 night stay at a hotel for the future to go back to Vegas. He said we were required to listen to them for only 2 hours to get the free offers and we could even set a timer to stop them after 2 hours to let them know our time was up and could leave and get our stuff, if we needed to stop them. He said they know a lot of people come in just for the free stuff and know that we only have to be there for 2 hours, so they should be good on that and they were. The man that we were with after the presentation thing at the beginning let us know that he was watching the 2 hour time and knew how long he had left with us before the 2 hours was up. He did stop after 2 hours and we declined and were done and led out to the front where I think he told them to get our info. to give us our free tickets and vouchers. We did end up having to wait around a little longer than we wanted to for our transportation back out of there to Planet Hollywood (where we were staying). It maybe took up about 3 hours all together, but it was fine with us for what we got out of it. We really enjoyed the show and saved alot of money (to us) for that and also saved $50 on a buffet after the show that was also great. And, we still have the 3 night stay for later. So, in the end we were pleased with it. Only regret it was on the morning of our last full day there and the fact we had to get up earlier than we wanted to after staying out late the night before.

@@wa1721 If you know what you're getting into, the Timeshare thing can be an advantage. When we lived within driving distance of Vegas, we attended our first TS presentation. They covered the cost of our hotel for 2 nights, we had the voucher for a show, and it cost us 4 hours. I'll sit in a presentation for 4 hours during the day in exchange for lodging and some entertainment supplement. But it got better. Coming back from the presentation, another TS "recruiter" stopped us with the same routine. We told them we *just* did the presentation and they ask "do you want to do it again?" That was all it took for us to see this as an opportunity. We attended the TS presentation a total of 4 times. Each time, we had 2-3 nights in the Luxor (our wedding hotel, so we always chose that one), 2 times a free lunch buffet, and vouchers with a small return on deposit (casino chips or show tix). By the 3d or 4th presentation, we got used to the pitch. I started giving them the answers to questions I knew they were going to ask. I even told one salesman it was our 3d presentation and we didn't plan on buying. He said "ok. well we have 2 hours to kill. Know any jokes?" TS presentations aren't all bad. You just have to know what you're signing up for and compare the value.

And if not, what if I'm not using those extra amenities, why am I being billed for stuff I don't use? That's like charging someone 50 bucks a night for long distance phones calls even if you didn't make a single call from your room, but the fee is "because we offer the service in case you need to use it". Whaaat? wtf? Is that even legal?

It depends on time, location, and even days. A year back, I walked from Planet Hollywood to The Linq on Halloween and saw no less that 10 different Showgirl "couples" along the way. The year before that, going to Fremont Street at night, 3 different Showgirl "couples" on those chip circles. Plus some folks would prefer THICC Showgirls than Skinny Ones.

@kelp71
@kelp71 5 лет назад
Yes, totally agree. It's called getting "long hauled", and it happened to me and my mom on our first visit together in Vegas. Take an Uber or Lyft to your hotel from the airport. Take your phone out and use Waze or GPS to get to your hotel. Make sure your driver is following the same path on your phone.

If they try to talk to me, I just tell them, "hold on, I'll be right back" and don't go past them for remainder of my time at the mall. Haha suckers. When they ask me what kind of soap I use I tell them "ooohh, that's my special secret" and give them a smart ass smirk. They hate that. I don't give shit. Don't stand there and try to force feed you're overpriced crap down my throat. If I wanted any beauty products, I'm definitely not buying them from you.

Vegas changes with the times and that is old news. So- buying a drink from the mini bar for a bigger price than the grocery store is acceptable to a lot.

As a side note, the Fremont St. experience does the same thing, but they won’t charge you for parking.

Old Vegas was great for people watching, and seemed a little looser than the strip.

Having been a Vegas regular for 10+ years (about 30 or more trips) I consider 1/2 of these to be common sense. Don't talk to ANYONE on the strip if you can avoid it. Anything they are selling can be found cheaper someplace else. Also - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That's common sense. I will say that the "resort fees" are a problem that has kept me from returning to Vegas. Mine were usually comped, I couldn't stand being charged for something that was included a few years ago. (Like airline baggage fees!!) Despite what "safety man" says - ALL gambling can be addictive - slot machines, craps, Baccarat, etc. Your brain cannot differentiate the dopamine released from winning on a slot machine or at a table. The one thing that makes Vegas different from other resort destinations is the loyalty perks. After about 2-3 trips to Vegas, while gambling and using a casino properties' loyalty card, you can expect to see SOME perks. We added up the money that we usually spent on food and entertainment, put that money into a slot machine over the course of 2-3 nights and upon check out - much of our food, beverage and entertainment were comped. It IS more complicated than I'm describing here - but you don't have to be a "high roller" to get comps in Vegas. (Yes - off-Strip and downtown are certainly better bargains. But not for those of us who love the strip.)

Biggest tourist trap is taking the tunnels to the Strip from the airport. It costs an extra $10 to go that route. Just ask them to not take the tunnels when you get in the cab and you should be safe. The last driver who still took me through the tunnels got no tip. When he complained, I told him he shouldn't have taken the tunnel.

Didn't say that at all, and I wasn't giving you strategy. Don't know how in the world you twisted my words around to make that up. I was simply stating how much I put in, and how much I left with. I've never had an interest to spend a lot of money gambling, and I figured quit while I'm ahead when I hit that $15.

@@MRWEDAWEST same here on never seeing anyone selling water in refilled bottles, usually tey have a roll around cooler with a bag of ice and a case or two of bottles from Walgreens or Walmart. truth be told this was urban lore, stirred up because the casino front shops were losing sales to the street side entrepreneurs trying to hustle up a living peddling water to anyone willing or needing to buy it. They're not paying tax or licensing fees to be street vendors so they are made out to look like the bad guy. I'd rather have 10 bottles of water offered to me than one card from the card flippers.

All good tips. As somebody who's been there at least a dozen times, I've discovered all of these things. Unfortunately, there's no way to get around the resort fees. If you stay off Strip, the money you spent on taxicabs or Uber tend to be a lot more than just sucking it up and paying them. You pay for convenience, walking distance to everything.

Chris, when timeshares were very popular in 2000, I went to a timeshare seminar in the SF Bay Area, where I lived at the time. Their presentation was 4 hrs long! They gave me a free weekend in Las Vegas for hearing their entire pitch, yet the girl who was my sales rep was not very caring. Nor were the closing staff. I did not buy JACK from them! The best thing I got out of the seminar was finding out how timeshares work. And it's simple. You DO NOT buy a timeshare unless you absolutely need one, and it MUST be connected to the cities that you need to frequently visit. A timeshare is ONLY for when you essentially need it!
