Avoid These Vegas Rookie Mistakes 


I remember my first trip to Las Vegas. My friends and I booked a flight and hotel and called it a day. But, upon arrival I realized there were so many 

little details that I had not thought of or had NO IDEA about! Here are the top mistakes a lot of Vegas rookies make. Even if you’re a veteran, some of these might be new to you or you might find some of the info helpful!


9 Vegas Rookie Mistakes to Avoid


1. Underestimating the length of the Strip – In pictures, it looks like getting from Mandalay Bay (furthest south) to the Venetian (more north) is a quick walk. What most don’t realize is that the Strip is four miles. Since you will be walking a lot, comfy shoes are a must. Don’t feel like walking? Spring for a ride share. 


2. Staying at the cheapest and/or at an off-Strip hotel – It’s tempting to go for the best bang for the buck, but it might not be your best bet in Vegas. Off-Strip and the cheapest hotels are further from the action. So, yeah, you might be saving on a room, but how much are you spending on ride shares to get to where you want to be? Consider staying mid-Strip on your first visit so you’re central to everything!


3. Not booking certain things in advance – If there are certain must-dos 

on your visit, you need to book them well ahead of your visit. For example, if you want to dine at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, take a tour to the Grand Canyon or see O at the Bellagio, it’s highly recommended you make reservations well in advance.


4. Thinking everything is expensive – Not everything in town is expensive. Save money by booking a moderately priced hotel, check out a buffet, take advantage of a good happy hour and dine off-Strip (there are a bunch of highly-rated restaurants away from the action and aren’t Strip prices). There are also free or reasonably priced activities to explore.
