Las Vegas Travel Tips

  • Save your money for the tables by taking advantage of free shows. The Living Statues exhibit at the Venetian's Grand Canal Shoppes, the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand, and the erupting volcano at the Mirage are three you shouldn't miss.
  • Ride the roller coaster at New York, New York. For $14, you'll get a sickening view from 203 feet above the Strip—and like anywhere in Vegas, you can get married on it.
  • If you're traveling in a group of six or more, consider taking a limo from the airport to your hotel. Limos run about $55 to $65, while a cab ride can cost $15 to $20 for a single rider.
  • Traffic at Hoover Dam can be abysmal, but tour buses run from downtown locations regularly.
