Welcome back, Tangerineys. This is part of our series on Las Vegas. Today, we’re going to be telling you about tourist trap, scams and other ways that the casinos or other people might be trying to get more money out of you, weasel a little bit of extra dough, or perhaps just deliver a different outcome than you’re expecting. So, we want to make sure these things don’t happen to you, so you can have a better time in Vegas and walk away with the amount of money you’re hoping to keep in your pocket. All right, let’s get right into it #1 – So the first word of warning we have for you is about the showgirls and the street performers. You will see their demeanor go from “Hey, come over here and take a picture. This is Vegas. Get your Vegas showgirl pictures!” to “I’m going to call the cops if you don’t give me $20 for this photo.” So, we’ve seen this happen a ton of times where someone goes over to take a picture thinking maybe these girls or these guys are part of the casino or they’re from a show that just got let out or something, go to take a picture and then they start demanding $5, $10, $20… more even, so, if that’s your thing and you think that’s worth it, by all means, knock yourself out but just know what you’re getting into beforehand. #2 – It should be no secret to you that Vegas has an advantage – the casinos always have an advantage. They are always going to win unless you are very lucky. You should never bank on getting anything, But something that you should extra watch out for, are casino games that make you think you’re about to get a big win. And in reality, it’s just a scam. It’s just a mind trick… [People saying hi] Oh thanks guys! Thank you! It’s just a trick to make you think you’re on the verge, but in reality, nothing is going on. For instance… We just passed one. I was trying to point it out to you, but I interrupted you. Sorry. So, for example, This machine has this gold pot that fills up. It makes you think that once that gets really full it’s going to hit the bonus, but if you click the help button and look through the rules, it actually says the number of coins in this pot has no effect whatsoever on when the bonus is going to hit, so don’t let machines like this trick you. Oh, here we go! The accumulation of this coin symbol over time in this pot has no effect on triggering the jackpot bonus. But as you’re playing and you get this coin symbol, it’s going to add these little coins to the pot making it more full and more full and more full, but that’s not going to mean you’re just due for a win. Here’s another one. Actually, this wicked devil wheel, where it has something… It has this cauldron that fills up and on this game as well it says animations adding to the cauldron have no effect on the progressive pick bonus – whatever the bonus game is. So, this is just another one that will make you think, “Oh, it’s full… It’s piling over” “I’m going to get a win soon”, but sadly, no! #3 – This is one that if it happens to you, it’s really going to ruin your day and that is theft, thieves, pickpockets, things like that. And this one actually happened to me. We have been to Vegas dozens and dozens of time and this only happened once, but it did suck royally. So we’re going to tell you about it. Whenever there’s big crowds of people, whenever you’re in a club, I think those are the prime time for people to get in your purse or slide their hand in your pocket and steal your phone out. What happened with me was, we were in a busy club, Jordan had his hands around my waist, so I wasn’t paying attention to anyone else potentially touching me. There were tons of people on the dance floor pushing past, legitimately like start pushing past. So I was just thinking, “Okay, oh my gosh.” I’m just getting shuffled back and forth with my stuff. But what actually was happening at some point was someone getting right in my purse and taking my phone out and I just thought it was part of the deal being in the club – being in the crowd, so unfortunately, there went my phone, never saw it again. In general, I don’t feel like I have to really watch my stuff in Vegas, but whenever we’re around big crowds of people like, in a club or on a busy sidewalk like last night, it’s “Labor Day” weekend. There were so many people out, Yeah. Like shoulder-to-shoulder on the sidewalk. You better believe I had my hand on my fanny pack and you were really keeping an eye on your phone in your pocket. Yeah, absolutely! #4 – This isn’t so much a tourist trap, but it is going to take more of your money than other things. Well, slot machines have bad odds in general. The ones that are branded are even worse. This one like, “Breaking Bad” or you’ll see “Sex in the City” or “Walking Dead”, all of these have to pay royalties to the rights holder of these shows. So the odds are even worse than other slot machines. So, on something like this the house is going to have a 15% advantage unlike something like this, where they might have a 10% advantage. If you’re enjoying this video, please consider subscribing to our channel to see other Vegas videos that we make and also our travel vlogs that we put out about our travels in the world and our life in Mexico. #5 – Often times when people come to Las Vegas, they’re looking to go to day clubs and nightclubs. So, something you’re going to be looking for is a promoter to get you on the guestlist for free or whatever the case, trying to get you past without having to pay a very high entrance fee. That’s another scam on its own. So you go out and you find promoters on the streets, they’re like “Hey, come on” “You can come to Omnia tonight. You can come to Jewel. You can come to Drai’s night club” or day club, whichever one it is and they’re like, “We’ll give you free drinks.” “We’ll give you free entry” We can give you a table If you have like this ratio or whatever. (What is a “good ratio” in Las Vegas? Clubs prefer groups with lots of ladies and fewer gents). Something that you want to look out for though is over promising because, in the past, we have seen it time and time again. They say you can skip the line or get all these free drinks for ladies or whatever it is, and it doesn’t always happen. They can’t always follow through on those promises. So, go to clubs because you want to have fun not because you think you’re going to get all these extra goodies. And one caveat is, Not all promoters or scam artists or anything. If they say they’re gonna get you on the list for free before 11:30 or something. You’ll probably get in for free before 11:30, but those extra things that’s what might not happen. #6 – One tourist trap – well, something that’s going to really dig into your pocketbook is buying drinks at nightclubs, or day clubs, or even out at the pool. They are so expensive! So, try to do your drinking before you go to these things so you don’t end up having to pay $30 to get a drink, or just a bottle of water. We talked about that in our first video. Yeah. Ungodly expensive. Horrible. #7 – So, this next one is a scam we’ve been told about on our channel, but it has not actually happened to us, and that is, apparently people will be selling water on these walking bridges – these pedestrian bridges That take you over top of the roads, which I have seen before. We have seen that. We’ve never bought water from them, but the scam is, they will take old water bottles and refill them with tap water. Which is… Ewe. And then, so you don’t notice, they’ll be so polite as to take the cap off for you and hand you the water bottle. So I supposed to get around this, notice if they have all the same water. I feel like if it’s a bunch of Kirkland waters, they probably just went to Costco and got a bunch of waters, but if they’re all mismatched – You want to go down here? Yeah. If they’re mismatched water bottles or they are being so polite to take that cap off for you so you don’t notice that they just glued it back on, don’t buy it. And water is relatively inexpensive at CVS and Walgreens on the strip, so you might as well just do that. For me, although I’m sure this has happened, I don’t really buy this one, because waters are just so darn cheap when you buy them in bulk at the grocery store. You can literally get them for 10 cents a piece and they’re selling them for a buck or two. So you have huge margins and in order to fill up empty water bottles, you’d have to go through the work of finding all those empties and then filling all of them up, when that seems like way more work than the price you can buy them for in bulk. That said, desperate people do desperate things. So, you just never know. Just proceed with caution on that one? Yeah. #8 – We’ve mentioned this in previous videos and that is going to timeshare presentations for the promise of free stuff. So, we were actually in an uber with a guy who used to be a timeshare promoter person and he was like “I had no idea what I was doing.” He would promise people that it would be an hour and a half. They would call him back up later, going “You said it was going to be 90 minutes” and it was 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours long and then they would be even angrier once they went to the shows or the crappy buffets that they gave passes to, to realize that they had wasted a huge chunk of the day or a huge portion of their trip only to get basically crap in return for it. So we have said it before but it’s worth saying again, just also proceed with caution. Know what you’re getting into with the timeshare unless you’re like super interested in timeshare. I personally feel like it’s a huge trap. How are you going to know it’s a timeshare? They’re probably going to ask you, “Are you married?” “How long are you in town?” Questions like that. “How old are you?” “Are you two on your honeymoon?” But I would definitely qualify this as a tourist trap because almost everyone who does a timeshare presentation says “Never again!” I do want to clarify though that not every buffet is crap. Not every Vegas show is crap, but some of them are. Like we went to the “Misbehave game show” and it was so awful. For the love of God, do not go to that show. There are some really great ones like “The Cirque shows”. “Beatles Love” is an absolute favorite of mine. We’ve been to it 3 times because I like it so much and some of the buffets are really good. We just checked out, what was it called? Bacchanal. Bacchanal buffet. And that was like, oh my gosh, so good. We also love the “Aria-buffet” But then there’s others that are a little bit more low quality. So, when it comes to these timeshares, I don’t know, ask for the good stuff if you’re going to go through with it, but still, I recommend don’t. We’ll get right back to the video in a moment, but we wanted to let you know a great way to save more money on your next Vegas trip and that is by signing up for Rakuten. They changed it. It used to be Ebates and they changed the name to Rakuten. It makes me so mad. It was so easy to say before and so easy to remember. It made so much sense like Ebates, rebate on the Internet – Ebates. That’s exactly what it is. You’re getting money back when you make purchases online. So, whether you’re booking your next flight to Vegas, your next Vegas hotel room or buying a Groupon for your next trip, or going to do some online shopping, getting a new outfit or whatever… Whatever you’re doing, just about every store online, you’re going to get cashback if you go through this extension. And something cool about it, if you sign up through our link, you’re going to get a $10 bonus. This is not a sponsored video, but we are an affiliate, so we do get a little something if you sign up and make a purchase. So we’ll link to that down below in the description and you can go get those extra 10 smackers. #9 – I haven’t seen this a lot in Vegas but I have seen it a couple times and that is 3-card Monte where they’ll have 3 cards out there and you have to follow the Queen or where they have 3 Solo cups and one of them has a ping-pong ball underneath it. These are a scam, do not do it. You’ll see people winning but those are other people who are in on the scam. They convince you to come up there, throw $20 down and then you lose because it’s rigged. Yes, it’s rigged! They use sleight of hand to switch it out and you will never win. #10 – And another thing to keep in mind and look out for is Resort fees. You might be like, “Oh, I found this great deal on a hotel. It’s only $50 a night.” Well, then you get there and realize that it also has a $35 night plus tax resort fee. That for the most part, you’re not going to be able to opt-out of it. Most hotels don’t allow it, whether you want internet or not. Yeah. However, we recently found a way that we no longer have to pay resort fees ever. So, we’re going to link to a video right above here and in that video, we tell you exactly how you can avoid paying resort fees as well. Word to the wise, there are some rare ways that you can get out of paying these resort fees. BONUS TIP (this isn’t in the video linked above). For instance, we play the Wynn Slots app, and you can accrue gems which help you get free rooms. When you book those free rooms, you can opt-out of Internet and some of the facilities, I think like the gym, so you don’t have to pay like $35…$40 a night. And then there are casinos like “Treasure Island” where if you book a certain offer or through a certain way which I’m not totally sure what all the ways are, you can also opt-out but you’re just basically saying I’m not going to use Internet, I’m not going to use the gym, potentially, I don’t think you got to use the pool either but if you want to save that money (and it is a lot of money) and adds up, then you could try to find these ways. In our other video, that’s not one of those, it is how you get those resort fee for free. You still get all the benefits that come with them, but you don’t have to pay it. #11 – Sometimes when you’re walking down the strip, you’re gonna have people trying to hand you CDs or fake monks trying to hand you a bracelet. Did you say fake monks? Yes. Monks? Yes. It’s a thing. Okay… I’ve never seen that one. But the CDs one is more common. People that are trying to hand you stuff, sometimes that’s cards… Which are somewhat harmless except they’re like strip clubs, stripper, hooker things. But [Showgirl standing on the sidewalk] Would you guys like your photo? No thanks. We’re alright! The other thing is, people will be… The other thing is, a lot of times, people will have CDs, their sample discs. Sometimes, these are just blank CDs, so you would be buying nothing. Generally, just don’t take it. Just put hands in your pockets, don’t do it. So you don’t have to worry about getting scammed in whatever potential way they’re trying to work you. When these people hand you CDs, they’ll want payment in return and then they won’t take it back. They’ll refuse to take it back. So, if this ever happens to you just toss it to them. They’ll be forced to catch it and you walk away. #12 – So pretty much everything in Vegas is expensive and ATM fees are no exception. Almost every ATM on the street is going to cost you $8 to $10 every single time and I’ve even seen pictures of someone paying $200 for an ATM fee at a strip club. So, be sure to get your cash out before you come here or have a bank that refunds all ATM fees like we do, to avoid those charges. #13 – Here is the next scam, it’s 107 degrees outside. Probably fricken 100 and I don’t even know, 10? It feels really hot today. And then! They’ve got this scam right here – elevator out of service or I mean escalator out of service and we have to take the stairs. Ugh, I have to use my own legs! [Laughter] #14 – And last but certainly not least, are the taxi drivers. We have definitely mentioned this before but it is another one of those that’s worth mentioning again. When you get in a cab, typically from the airport, a dishonest cab driver will try to scam you by taking the longest possible route to get you to your hotel, maybe slowing down so they don’t miss that or they don’t get through that yellow light or what is the other thing? Yeah, basically, just things to rack up the fare and they’re already expensive to begin with. Using uber or lift instead of a taxi is probably going to be about half of the cost for you. So that’s definitely the way to go. And of course, the fare is predetermined. Everything is within the app – you have recourse if something crazy happens with Uber or Lyft. You can report the driver, or report whatever it is. In general, anywhere in the world, avoid taxi drivers, it’s my advice. Before we go, please go ahead and comment down below if we missed any tourist traps, scams, or bait and switches that you’ve experienced in Vegas. Obviously, since we’ve been here so many times, there are a bunch of stuff that we just don’t fall for because we know it seems weird and it’s not just “Oh, this is crazy! It’s Vegas” Kind of thing. So yes, please comment, let us know what you’ve experienced, or things that you’ve heard about that we may have missed. So that potentially we do a part 2. And go check out our other Vegas videos, we’re going to link to a couple of those on the end screen here. We have a lot of great advice for you and ways for you to save money, coming up on your trip. Thank you guys for watching, please be sure to subscribe to our channel if you want to see other Las Vegas videos that we create and also travel vlogs that are putting out across the world. And one more very important thing… [Bell Ringing] Gong that bell! So you get notified the next time we put out our new videos, and we’ll see you soon. I think I just shot something out my nose. [Laughter] Gross!

As a vegas local i approve this video. I try to warn my clients all the time
With number #5 promoters can't get you any extra things thats what the vip host are for and promoters dont work pass 6pm. So yes promoters cant do shit this is comong from a former nightclub manager
Beware of strangers…looking for money drinks sex whatever….lol
"There's a sucker born everyday. " PT Barnum
They discriminate against the disabled (especially disabled women) they don't care about getting sued so if you are going to be there a while you should partake in the money they throw.Oh,and they actually try to hit women with their cars.I been in legal crosswalks when the signal permitted me to walk some black girl actually sped through the light and attempted to hit me with the car,then she cussed at me for not giving up my rights for her.
They DO NOT like white women there.
25 year Las Vegas resident here: The “entertainers” should be outlawed, they are scum. Only none gamblers like these people downplay gambling. Never go to a club w your purse. I agree, the branded slots are a ripoff. Agree, never pay some guy $ to get nightclub passes. Total ripoff. You want to get into a club fast? Bring a hot girl. Never buy ANYTHING from street venders. Yes, NEVER go to a timeshare presentation! Total joke.
Las Vegas is a scam!
It's not a scam, it's business.
i got 450 usd for going to a timeshare presentation with my wife, free breakfast and was 90 min long.. we had a little presure but we got all that was promised at the end, so i don’t agree with you guys, we did not buy but it was worth it.
Love your TIPS girl!
I live in vegas and I don’t even go down to the strip expensive everything
Thank you, someone finally covered that over promising club promoters are basically full of crap. Anyone want a promoter that will be up front and honest please contact me at 702-722-8585 anytime.
This guy sounds JUST like Steve Aoki
I've lived in Las Vegas for 34 years and the whole city is set up to make money off of YOU! My wife and I stopped going down to the Strip over 20 years ago. Now we only go down to eat, see a show once or twice a year, or if we have out of state visitors that just have to go downtown. BTW it's not Einstein's Theory of Relativity, it's Einstein's Theory of his Relatives; The amount of relatives and friends you have grows proportionally to the amount of years you live in Vegas.
Two more things if you find yourself in Vegas:
1) The Strip is well lite. Their electric bill isn't paid by the winners. Remember that!
2) If a Timeshare representative or someone selling you shows keep pestering you, just say "I'm Local". They can't get away from you fast enough
Ok, so Miss Behave isn’t for everyone, but do your research before deciding because I went with my wife and we had an absolute blast. We plan on going again too because it’s not expensive and great bang for your buck for the amount of fun you can have if it’s your kind of thing.
😯😯
Guys I really your videos, every scam u discusses is true
The wife and I are taking are first Vegas vacation next weekend where extremely excited and nervous at the same time. We been watching all your videos thank you.
Thanks guys, very helpful!
Thanks guys!! I love your videos!! 😉😉😉
As a former street performer I disagree that it's all a scam some are yes but I personally never demanded money from anyone tipping was voluntary but appreciated
A common sense approach
As you say, Vegas is wildly fun but also full of many traps and scams. I remember not planning enough water for my family. The resort wanted $3 per liter of water.
What would happen if those ladies called the cops?
Ways to avoid the water bottle scam: Just bring your own and refill it. That way you know it's clean and also know where the water came from. Nothing wrong with tap water. Half the time bottled water your buying is in fact, tap water.
Hi From Connecticut. I have been to Las Vegas many times and this past July with 4 of my close friends. And Yes, I did learn somethings from this video. The picture scams, such as seeing show girls and thinking they are cast members from the casino (did not do the picture, however; my friend said maybe we should the next time). About pickpockets I tried to make it a point that I am wearing slacks or walking shorts that have buttons and still if streets are very crowded, my wallet and cell goes in my front pockets. I learned that I should take a couple of minutes to read the rules on slot machines that I never played before. Yes, I thought when the coins filled the bowl something was going to happen. Fortunately for me, my bank has a Military/Veteran account program, which means no ATM fees and reimburse charges from ATM such as the ones in LAS. I have subscribed to learn more and to find your other videos. Thanks for sharing. Jim
#7 is true. I knew a guy that sold water on the strip in the summer. They make a killing and when desperate they'll fill empty bottles
Just say no thanks that's what I said last week with no problem.
I lived here for 20 years and didn’t know none of this shit 😂 lmfao 🤷🏿♂️
But then again 🙋🏿♂️ don’t go to Las Vegas Blvd 😁✌🏿
Don't forget about the weird guy in the hotel elevators telling a sob story trying to get 20 bucks to get home or whatever…I've seen this multiple times in different hotels. Its actually kind of comical at this point.
Do I'm from Vegas right, I've been to the strip million times and I thought people knew those weren't real show girls 😂😂😂
Good job you 2…
Good video. Thank you guys.
Timeshares are only bad for working people, if you own a buisness they are great.
The reason why is we can take advantage of the small window they give you to use their freebies and discounts, as we can vacation when ever we like and not wait for any vacation days from a boss or company owner.
My wife an i are on our way back to vegas for the third time this year, and our timeshare gave us a hotel room for 4 days and 3 nights for a total of 99 dollars.
Bottomline is, it is better to own a buisness than to work a job.
They changed the Wynn slots app not so simple to get a free room anymore myVEGAS is still my favorite
Explain to me about how to not to get resort fee again
We live in Vegas and there ARE some good timeshare deals, you just have to be careful and demand to see all the fine print. We have gotten really great show tickets and pretty decent gamble packages.
That being said, dont EVER go if you have problems saying NO! and staying firm. ALWAYS look at the fine print on the tickets and vouchers and determine whether it seems worth your time. For us, our time is sometimes worth it since we live here and we arent wasting vacation time.
We live in Vegas and my fiancee fell for the stupidest scam (essentially the fake monk one). I couldn't believe he paid them $20 for the two bracelets.
We were walking around Fremont and a "villiager" who didnt speak almost any English, put a bracelet on my wrist and my fiancee's wrist and promptly requested a "donation to their village". They hand you a book that is filled with fake village pictures and fake names and large amounts of money to suggest that you sign your names with a similar donation amount.
I was so shocked watching my fiancee actually pay this woman (so shocked in fact that I didnt stop him and just watched in disbelief). We both live here and are VERY aware of scams, so I guess this means anyone can have a lapse in judgement if you let your guard down. He feels so stupid and hates when I bring it up today. $20 bucks got us two dinky bracelets and a license to mock him forever XD Maybe it was worth it lol
One time a guy sold me some weed that was supposed to be TOP shelf, but it was nothing but mids!! BEWARE!!!
Last tab I ran in Vegas was for 15 thousand dollars at encore beach club back in 2012. Paying interest on it to this day…. In the form of a child. I said hello to some beautiful blue eyes and ended up getting her pregnant. Not everything that happens in Vegas stays there.
Did you guys film this at the shops at Crystals?
I literally won $553 on my first spin of $2.50 on Breaking Bad at MGM last Sunday.
I'VE ONLY BEEN TO VEGAS IN SUMMER '10, THEN TWICE IN THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER '16, BOTH TIMES W/MY SISTER. THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME THAT I'M RELIVING MY FEW TIMES IN VEGAS ON A THURSDAY–@ WORK, THRU Y'ALL!!!!!! I LOVE IT: KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDS!!!!
This is sooooo accurate! Great job guys! I can confirm all of this being in vegas for 10 years, now not living there i try and steer people from it LOL bad i know but better than seeing a friend get the royal screwing that i know is coming lol
Can't believe you got away with recording in a casino.
The people in the black suits in the m life casinos. They are ruthless. They offer you AZ discounted rate or w.e if u come back within a certain time period. I have never actually spoke to one of them. I have no clue if they are legit. They are just annoying and wont leave you alone. Just keep walking and dont stop.
Some of the people that sell water on the strip go to the store and buy them off their food stamp card so they can sell them for cash which now it's illegal to sell water on the strip the panhandlers on the strip some of them have money and some of them make a living out of doing they have nice houses and car's that's the Vegas Living!!!
TIP: Go to the 3rd floor in the M&M store. They have a small Bank of America ATM machine and you will only be charged $3 withdrawal fee rather than the $7+ fee on the strip ATMs
Also, your room safe can still be burglarized, just enter the “administrator/master” factory code (found on Google) to reset the combo as an emergency unlock. Hotel staff are notorious for burglarizing room safes and rooms (they have the master keycards).
Another tip to add to this video. Uber/Lyft drivers cannot drop off for the most part in front of hotels. They have set areas. Taxis are the only ones that can pick you up at the door. Same with the airport you have to walk up to the garage area to meet your Uber/Lyft drivers. Still cheaper than a cab but you have to walk a little further to use them.
Got taken by the water bottle refill scam on my last trip to The Philippines and became terribly sick for 4 days. Never buy a bottle of water from someone unless you can personally break the seal.
TLC…… scammer 🏃 away

If someone grabbed my gf phone from her purse, show or not, if I didnt sign a waiver that person is getting punch in the face and dropped kick on the back of the head for theft
One of the biggest scams in Vegas was Bob Stupak's (aka Bob Stupid) Vegas gambling museum. He had stuff like cigarette allegedly smoked by Marilyn Monroe, or napkin allegedly used by Frank Sinatra. Everything in the so-called museum was fake.
The museum burnt down, in suspicious circumstances, and Stupak got enough money to open the nutcase Vegas World casino. Vegas World then burnt down ( surprise, surprise) and Stupak got enough money to start the Stratosphere casino, which was taken over and finished by others..
Vegas Taxi Scams —- Airport to strip hotel taxi fees to be a fixed fee.
Because of YouTube video sites like Tangerine Travel, next year ,2020, the Taxi rides from the airport to the main strip casinos will be a FIXED FEE. If you get long hauled due to a traffic jam, the price will be the same. So, the quickest route to the strip casinos will be up to the taxi driver, since he is working on a fixed fee.
This is a test program, which is due to the massive loss in business to Uber.
The trap i had was the "massage happy ending" trap. A taxi took me to a massage parlor. The lady said 150, then kept adding charges to stay longer and all i got was an ear and had rub. It cost me 500 bucks. The parlor was arpund the corner from the Rio.
She is so cute.
I like the water tip
The clickbait caught me
In all video poker or slot there is a chip with a sequence number that triggers the bonus or jack pot win
Paying For Parking!
We learned the showgirl thing first trip. The b** demanded 30
The fake monks are definitely a thing happened to me!
So the fake monk thing is real!!! I was in Vegas last week and a lady tried to force a bracelet on us said the money was to help build something.
We are from Mexicali Mx, we go to Las Vegas at least 4 times a year (for the past 10 years) went to the 21 Pilots concert and Canelo fight last week (10-30, 11-2) we have never had a problem or scam there, by now we have "free" rooms and meals every time, you have to make reservations direct to customer service and ask for comps, learn how to make friend with hotel managers or directors, call them by their names and introduce yourself as an importan person.. (remember that you are very important.. AREN'T YOU?), a VIP.. send thanks letters to the people you meet in the hotels and let them know you had a great time there and that you will be glad to come back.. You will also recomend their service.
Even if you go once a year.. try to do something diferent every time you go back..

I got scammed by a cd guy my first time. Second time I went i ignored everyone

What about $8 small coffee 😳
This is so informative! Thank you!
‼‼💯Look up the sandwich tip trick! This website tells you what hotels work best 20 bucks and save you on all the resort fees plus hundreds of dollars in upgrades. https://frontdesktip.com/‼‼
Been in Vegas my whole life. These are things your parents tell you growing up! Great advice guys keep up the vids. So many tourists think Vegas is only the Strip! Rent a car, and go too the local places if you are visiting! It will save you lots of money! Also if you like to gamble, try using local bars and the video machines ( less machines means more likelihood of winning, especially on any kind of keno )!!!
About 10 years ago, I got $25 at a strip club ATM there (club doesn't exist anymore). That transaction cost me $250. I didn't notice on my receipt until after I left the club. Be careful.
👍Saavy info is my fave part of your vids. Thanks guys🐴✌
Vegas sounds horrible
Your boyfriend is hot…I would pay him to sit on my face!
#13 stands out. Never heard of the lazy chick scam before.
I live in Vegas and I highly recommend going off the strip! It’s soooo much cheaper you’ll realize you were being scammed, I would rent a car and go to local places like china town which isn’t far at all from the strip to eat.
I love Vegas. The street scams are everywhere for sure, but being from NY, I'm used to not making eye contact. Just keep walking and they'll move on to the next person. If you do like to gamble, stick with one property group, Mlife (MGM), Caesars, etc and use the players card. Even with a small bankroll, you'll eventually start getting comp offers if you decide to go back. Free self parking at MGM casinos with Mlife pearl on up. Helpful if you have a rental car for multiple days.
I live in Vegas all promoters are Scammers! go there on your own or ask your Hotel Concierge for help
Biggest scam in LV? Hotel resort fees. You pay $20-50 a day and get ZERO in return
Hi
I work for a timeshare property and have for 14 years. I totally disagree with what you are saying about timeshare. I wish I could put you in touch with the thousands of families that timeshare has changed their lives and allowed them to see the world or stay places they would never be able to afford otherwise. Our units are 1900sq ft. I would bet the room you stayed in was 150-200sq ft.
I would love to invite you to our property to check it out. I think your opinion would change.
With that said, there are always sketchy businesses out there and people who lie and take advantage.
When I was there in the 90's I thought there was a law that the slot's had to pay out around 97%. I saw a number at the Tropicana saying their slot's payed out at 97.8%. Wondering if that is still the case or if I am remembering incorrectly?
Avoid taxi drivers and stick with Uber or Lyft to save money.
Another thing is black guys try to sell u a blank CD saying that it's their kid tape
They called out my favorite machines😪. I play that wicked wheel in Blackhawk
I usually go thru Vegas on Groupon. Got a helicopter tour some good buffets, I think I may have even gotten the hotel on one of those sites..
Some casinos have dealers with skimpy outfits to attract players, those tables have worse odds than regular tables. 😀
Beware of people who hang out in casinos and target the elderly. They pretend they have multi million dollar lawsuit settlements coming in etc. Or something to that nature. Then proceed to ask for 100-300 daily or more claiming its for lawyer fees. Until the person runs out of money and moved on. This happened to some of my old relatives who live in Vegas.
Don't forget the take-out menu scam. People have been replacing the numbers on the menus and taking orders for delivery. Once they get your card info, the food never comes and you lose money.
I went to Vegas on Nov. 15-17 2019 and the Uber System was a Cluster F**k. They were artificially creating a surcharge to make more money off of the Conventions in town with the Marathon. If you know Vegas you just tell the Cabbie which Hotel and dont take the freeway. Take the Tunnel. These kids sound nice but all the things they talked about with the exception of Uber and Water Bottles I knew since the early 90's. Their tips are as spicy as spring water.
The Biggest Scam in Las Vegas are the Resort Fees that the Hotel Charges!!!! Straight Bullshit RIP Off!!!!🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Just got home from Vegas, you both saved us so much by using Lyft, omg amazing drivers and so respectful I will probably never use a taxi again.. thanks so much..
What about the hookers? Where are the cheap hookers?
This blonde is the PERFECT woman
:30 Those are NOT showgirls. Those are random people that bought or rented cheap "showgirl" costumes. They have no training or talent. They are not employed by the casinos. They are not in a show. They just want your money.
