Flights to Las Vegas

As with any big city, you should exercise basic caution when exploring Vegas, avoiding dark alleyways at night if you’re by yourself, for example. The biggest risk is getting carried away with drinking, or gambling and losing more than you can afford to. It can be scarily easy to get hooked, so be cautious! Have a strictly defined amount that you’re willing to gamble (aka lose) and don’t go beyond it.

Depends on what you want to do! If you’re planning to mostly stay on the Strip, you won’t need a car—everything’s quite walkable as it’s not a huge area. However, if you’re hoping to explore outside of the Strip, there’s not really public transit to speak of, so you’ll either need a car or, of course, Uber/Lyft is always an option.

Las Vegas is hot most of the year, but it’s also nightlife-central, so pack accordingly! Cocktail attire is right for most evening activities, but regular clothes—shorts, jeans, t-shirts—are all fine for most daytime activities. Make sure you bring appropriate poolside attire as well, as the hot afternoons will have you longing for some time at the pool!

Las Vegas has so many cool hotels to explore and stay in, but a few of our favorites include The Venetian (the inside really looks like Venice, complete with a fake sky and legit gondolas!), the Bellagio (stunning fountain shows and pools), The Cosmopolitan (if you’re ready to get fancy) and Paris Las Vegas (themed after, well, Paris).
