Las Vegas For Newbies. Created by Jenny. Updated On: March 18, 2020. Places to take Evan. Welcome to Las Vegas For Beginners. Thanks for stopping by and visiting our little corner of the web. We think you'll find our site very informative and very helpful. Our mission to help beginners, and the seasoned visitor, make their next trip to Las Vegas the best trip ever. Never been to Las Vegas before?
1. Look before you cross the street:
Look left, right, and even UP! If you are trying to cross Las Vegas Blvd, there may be a pedestrian bridge above you for your convenience and safety. If there IS one, then USE IT!!! You wouldn't cross an 8 lane freeway in your hometown, would you?

2. Things probably cost more:
We understand that this place is a little different with our bright lights, sea of slot machines, drinking at all times of the day and night. Please try to understand that the rent in some of these buildings are probably slightly higher than the town you're from that probably has less people living in it that work at the MGM hotel. In order for business owners to pay the rent, you're probably not gonna have the same beer prices as the local bar where you're from. That's not a choice, that's just economics.
3. You get what you pay for:
If you think something is priced way too cheap to be true, guess what? It probably is… Be wary of anyone promising free this and free that, there's almost always a catch, and almost nothing in this town is genuinely free
4. Tip tip tip:
I understand you may be on a budget, but remember that we make our living off our tips. If you would like quality service with a genuine smile in a timely manner, maybe you should tip. That's what tips are for; you take care of me, I'll take care of you. If you don't want to tip, you can't be mad when you're waiting for your drinks/food/service longer than the next person… They actually tipped…
5. We pre-game harder than you party, and then work a full shift afterwards:
You may be from Wisconsin or some college town in the middle of the USA or some other place where they pride themselves on their ability to hold their liquor. Here's the bottom line… Unless you live in a place where you can drink 24/7, you can walk around the streets in broad daylight with a drink that is so big it literally has a strap on it so you can carry it around, then you really have no idea what you're talking about. We wake up early to hit the pool party by 10am, we hit the showers in time for happy hour at 5pm, we are at the club by 10pm so we can get our VIP table with bottles of liquor, we hit after-hours or the local bar by 4am and the sun is coming up before we have even cashed out to go home. After all that, guess what? We go to work, in a town that has more tourism than some entire states generate!!!
6. Don't take the merchant copy of the credit card slips:
We appreciate you signing your credit card slip and adding a tip to it, but when you take it with you??? We have to enter a zero tip and charge the card only for the authorized amount. This is essentially the same as stiffing your service staff, and a good way to be served last
7. Go to the taxi line to catch a cab:
You know the reason why you've been standing on Las Vegas blvd for 20 minutes and all these vans are just passing you by? That's because it's ILLEGAL for them to stop and pick you up on the street!!! There are lines of cabs at every hotel just WAITING for you to get in, trust me!!!
8. The hotel room:
The most important factor when booking a hotel room is LOCATION!!! You can have the nicest room with all the amenities you can think of, for the priciest price ever… But how much time are you really spending in the room? If you're like me, the only time spent in a Vegas hotel room is sleep, shower and grooming, a nap if you go a little too hard, pre-game and *ahem* a few other unmentionable extra-curricular activities. Other than that, your room is wasting money you could be using for other stuff.
9. Drink names and ingredients vary by geographic region:
One recipe may call for different ingredients based on what part of the country (or what country) you are from. If you order a drink and the bartender looks at you funny, don't act like they're a moron for not knowing what the name for a common cocktail is called where you're from. Tell them the ingredients and they will most likely let you know the name it is called so the next time you order, you actually get what you want.
10. The United States does not have portable electronic credit card scanners (yet):
So when you want to pay a server with your card and they don't bring a machine to the table, they are not trying to steal your card info, we just DO NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT!!! I apologize for America being behind the times in nearly every aspect of everything, but that's just how it is.

Las Vegas reinvents itself every decade
Las Vegas, with its spring-fed oasis in the middle of the desert, began in the mid-1800's as a stopping place for travelers bound for southern California. It became a city a hundred years ago.
The famous Las Vegas Strip as a tourist destination dates back to the 1950's. The Las Vegas of the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's is very much different from today. What was just a few hundred hotel rooms ...now numbers more than 130,000. Las Vegas is now the world's premier adult playground. Each resort is almost like a separate city.
Las Vegas is home to practically all of the world's largest hotels ...and prides itself on its fine dining, shopping, sightseeing, dazzling nightclubs and strip clubs, pool parties, entertainment, golf courses, attractions ...and, of course, gambling. It can be quite overwhelming to the first time visitor. We cover it all.
We feel confident that 'Las Vegas 4 Newbies' will help to make your first trip to Sin City more enjoyable, at less cost ...and you will learn many valuable things you did not know. This website is laid out like a book. Start your reading by clicking on this Table of Contents link. There is also a similar link at the top of this - and every - page. There are eleven chapters, several appendices and a glossary. They will all appear in due time. Be patient, we are transferring the text from our Las Vegas blog.
