When to go
March-May and September-November have pleasant daytime temperatures for walking. June-August is extremely hot at midday; December-February days are mild but nights are chilly.
Airport to the city
City bus & airport shuttle
RTC city buses link the airport with the Strip and Downtown; check routes and fares officially. Shared shuttles to hotels also run.
Flights from further afield
Connections via Los Angeles, San Francisco or other hubs are available. Check airlines for nonstop availability and schedules, and for connections compare total travel time and where you clear US immigration.
Getting around
Walking (the Strip)
Walkways and bridges connect many hotels, but buildings are huge and distances longer than they look. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water.
Strip bus
Double-decker buses run 24 hours along the Strip to Downtown; buy tickets by app or at stops.
Monorail
A monorail links hotels on the east side of the Strip. Stations are at the back of hotels, so check the walk.
Taxis & ride-hailing
Board at each hotel's designated pickup area; handy late at night or for Downtown.
Rental car
Easiest for canyons and Hoover Dam. Desert roads have long gaps between gas stations; carry plenty of water in summer.
Where to stay
Center Strip
Good for: First visit, shows & fountains
The biggest cluster of hotels, theaters and free sights, great for walking.
South Strip
Good for: Airport access, big resorts
Close to the airport with large resorts; a longish walk to Center Strip.
Downtown (Fremont Street)
Good for: Budget stays, old Vegas feel
The historic center with an LED canopy show. Cheaper than the Strip, about 20-30 minutes by bus.
Off-Strip
Good for: Road trips, value
Easy parking and lower rates; you'll need a car or taxi for the Strip.

Top sights
Strip night walk
Walk the Strip as the hotels light up after dark. Many hotels have free canals, gardens and displays inside.
Free fountain show
Music-synchronized fountains dance on a lake in front of a major Strip hotel. Shows are frequent in the evening — check the schedule.
Fremont Street
A Downtown street whose entire roof becomes an LED screen for evening shows.
The Neon Museum
An outdoor museum of old casino and shop neon signs. Guided tours may need booking.
Red Rock Canyon
Red sandstone canyon about 30 minutes from the city, with a scenic drive and short trails. Timed-entry reservations for the Scenic Drive are required during daytime hours from October to May — check official information.
Hoover Dam
The huge Colorado River dam, about 45 minutes to an hour by car. The bridge overlook shows the whole dam.
Valley of Fire State Park
Fiery red sandstone landscapes about an hour away. Avoid midday hikes in summer.
Grand Canyon day trip
The West Rim is about 2.5 hours by car, the South Rim about 4.5. The West Rim is on Hualapai tribal land, not in the national park, so entry works differently; for the South Rim, check official national park information. Tours, small planes and helicopter trips are common.

The classic Vegas meal; prices vary by day and time. About US$40-90 per person.
Steak
Plenty of steakhouses. About US$60-150+ per person.
Food halls
Quick meals from many cuisines in hotel food halls. About US$15-30 per person.
Burgers & tacos
American burgers and Mexican tacos make a cheap meal. About US$10-20.
Korean & Asian food

Local tips
- Many hotels add a nightly 'resort fee' on top of the room rate. Check the total with taxes and fees when booking.
- Tipping is customary for restaurants, taxis and hotel services; restaurants usually about 15-20% of the bill.
- You must be 21 or older to gamble and to buy or drink alcohol. Carry ID (your passport).
- The desert is extremely hot and dry in summer. Carry plenty of water on canyon trips and avoid midday hikes.
- Strip buildings are huge, so distances feel much longer than on the map. Allow extra time.
- Check official US government information on ESTA or visas you may need before you travel.
