  A couple safety tips I might add 1. )Stay away from the superhero characters or any of the characters on the strip. They are independent and don&apos;t work for any hotel. You could literally have your kid take a picture with a pedo that&apos;s dressed up as Spiderman. &nbsp;My husband worked security on the strip several years ago and most of the people dressed up as these characters were dirty, shady people. Don&apos;t take a picture with them and certainly don&apos;t let your kids take a picture with them. &nbsp;2.) I used to drive for Lyft before the pandemic and sometimes people wanting to go to Fremont st . will just put Fremont on the Lygt app and it takes you to some bad, shady area North of downtown. &nbsp;I gave a ride to some young girls once and when we got to the random place that the app brought us to they knew they made a mistake. &nbsp;There was no way I was dropping them off there so I took them to Fremont st. where they thought they selected. &nbsp;Make sure you put Fremont st. Experience on your ride share app. Not all Lyft drivers will be willing to take you to where you really want to go leaving you stranded in a horrible part of town until you wait for another Lyft ride to pick you up.

  Just a FYI while out in public you can photograph or video anything you can see and are not obligated to pay any street performer. &nbsp;But they are there to make money so tip them if you take a photo with them.

  Here are 3 additional suggestions.<br><br>1. &nbsp;Have a gambling budget for each day and stay within it.<br><br>2. &nbsp;A corollary to 1, Don&apos;t ever chase your losses. &nbsp;You&apos;ll lose your bankroll, which isn&apos;t &nbsp;fun.<br>3. &nbsp;If you hit a decent jackpot, return to your room and put it in the safe. &nbsp;Then continue playing within your daily limit. &nbsp;It gives you a break from gaming, and you won&apos;t blow through your winnings.

  One thing to remember: Las Vegas technically is a desert. You will not have &quot;moderate&quot; weather. The city lives on the extremes: if it gets very hot in the day time, night time will be quite chilly. I remember visiting when I was around 13 yrs old and wow it was c-cold at night. My mom was very relieved that she remembered to pack jackets for everyone. Another thing: don&apos;t always expect a nice quiet night. Construction crews have no choice but to work at night because the heat is so severe it can damage building materials. One construction worker commented that he is forbidden to lay concrete in the daytime. Why? The heat causes it to crack when it cures! That&apos;s how hot it is.

  People playing &apos;correctly&apos; at a blackjack table doesn&apos;t actually impact your chances of winning or losing at all; it&apos;s a superstitious belief.

  I tell my guests to tip the showgirls $5-10 each and that is the MAX. And don’t take photos with the costume characters at all. 😬

  I remember when self parking was free. &nbsp;Casinos will always find another way to make money.
