How To Travel In Vegas Strip?

Las Vegas Strip is among the most famous tourist attractions globally and famous for offering huge hotels, casinos, entertainment shows, and other attractions. Often stretching over 4 miles, the Strip may appear intimidating for newcomers eager to capture all the scenery in one visit. Here are the tips that I found great for getting the most of your Vegas Strip.

Schedule Those Places That You Want to Visit

The Strip has no lack of mind-blowing hotel attractions such as the Bellagio Fountains, Mirage Volcano, and the light shows at Fremont Street Experience. Prepare a list of 2-3 free performances or hotel performances that must be seen at any cost This will help you plan your time and space and leave an adequate amount of time and space for free roaming. Some of the most famous attractions that are must-visits are the Bellagio Conservatory, Venetian gondolas, and the welcome show at the Forum Shops.

Wear Comfortable Shoes

Because some of the Strip resorts are really huge and because you will be walking from one resort to another outside in the desert heat, don’t wear flip-flops; wear comfortable sneakers or sandals. While high heels and dress shoes do look stylish, they are not very comfortable for walking and especially for crossing the Strip throughout the day. Vegas is a very active destination, so be prepared by wearing comfortable shoes with lots of cushioning.

Use The Monorails

The Las Vegas Monorail and trams runs between and link some of the hotels together away from the strip, making it more convenient to move long distances without having to walk outside. The Monorail operates behind the hotels and the stations include MGM Grand, Ballys/Paris, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrahs, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Westgate, and Sahara. With costs ranging from $5-15 per ride, it is a cheap mode of transport.

That’s why visiting this city on a Hop On Hop Off Double Decker Bus would be a great idea.

For a bird’s eye view of the Strip and its resorts, there is the Hop On Hop Off Bus which provides an overview of the area. It provides 12 different and easily accessible sites within the north and south strip sections with live guides. It is self-guided and you make the stops at any place that you decide to. Some of the stops will include the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign, the LINQ, Bellagio and others.

Get Fast Foods When You Are On The Move

What you do not want to do, especially when in Vegas, is to spend long hours in restaurants being seated. Buy simple and easily transportable foods from hotel food courts, buffet stations, and cafes to allow more time for sightseeing. Treasure Island, The Venetian, Excalibur, and Caesars Palace have affordable food courts for to-go services that serve Middle Eastern, Italian, Mexican, and Asian cuisines, among others.

Stay Hydrated

The weather is extremely hot and dry and it is quite common to find the temperature crossing over a hundred degrees in the summer while on the move day and night as we were. Bring a large refillable water bottle and take breaks to refill the water bottle more often. Such effects of dehydration such as headaches, fatigue, and nausea are the last things you would want when you are on a trip. Free cup of ice water to refill with is also offered by slot machines!

Gamble Responsibly

Gambling in the Strip can be addictive because of the beautiful designs of the casinos and the games themselves encourage spending. It is advisable to set a gambling budget per day or hour and avoid gambling beyond the set amount. Take a break and go to another environment that is not related to a casino also. Responsible spending guarantees that one is able to save enough money to be spent on shows, shopping and other necessities that come with a Vegas trip.

Be Flexible With Plans

It is not very wise to attempt to schedule every minute of the trip. Always allow for some extra time to wander, explore, or have to wait in line at a sightseeing attraction. Still, act as there are some things you have to do, but relax, be more spontaneous. Often, when there is no race to catch, no contest to watch, the most enjoyment can be derived from merely walking the Strip and sitting back to take in all the marquees.

Applying smart planning with these tips in mind you are assured of an exciting trip to America’s playground at the famous Las Vegas Strip! Prepare yourselves for a cavalcade of stimuli in the most joyful of ways. The flashing neon signs that enticed you will remain etched in your memory for a lifetime.
