Preparing for Las Vegas: Tips & Hints

1. Local casinos can be attended only by people aged 21 or older.

2. During their stay in gambling establishments guests are prohibited from using cell phones and other means of communication.

3. Many luxurious restaurants have a dress code - only guests in suits and evening dresses are allowed to enter. You should also think about ordering a table in advance.

4. Those, who want to save on accommodations, should consider booking a room in a hotel located in Fremont Street. Prices in local hotels are really below average.

5. Tourists, who always want to be in the middle of action, will find hotels located in the Strip area more suitable. It should be noted that rates for accommodations here are among the highest in the city.

6. Smoking is forbidden in large restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment centers. It is also forbidden to smoke in some streets of the city, so make sure you pay attention to prohibiting signs. However, every entertainment venue and shopping center certainly has a special area for smokers.

7. Valuable things are better to be kept in a safe in your hotel room. Do not take with you valuables and large sums of money without any special need as you can become a victim of pickpockets in public places.

8. Those tourists, who plan to rent a car, should not forget about the problem of "shortage of parking lots". It is really hard to find a place for parking near government agencies, shopping malls and casinos.

9. Car rental services may be denied to citizens under the age of 21. Some companies have an age limit of 25 years.

10. In large shops, restaurants and hotels you can pay with international credit cards - Visa, American Express, Master Card and others.

11. It’s common to leave tips in restaurants, bars and cafes. The average amount of tips is around 10 - 15% of the total bill. You can also leave a small fee to hotel workers and porters. 0.25 - 1 USD should be enough.
