Cheap airplane tickets, really cheap discount hotel rooms, as well as cheap vacation packages remain readily available to visitors going to Las Vegas. Paying attention to wearing appropriate clothing, remembering the importance of moderation, and trying to stay on time, can go a long way in making your visit a successful one.
One of the common mistakes made by tourists new to Las Vegas is to assume that Vegas is always hot. The city is subject to strong winds in the fall and winter and extreme dryness and very high temperatures in the summer. Temperatures are known to fall over 30 degrees at night in the winter and remain in the triple digits during the summer. The average winter temperature is 55 degrees vs. 103 in the summer.
Loose fitting, light colored clothing is preferred in the summer as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, visors and plenty of water. During the winter heavy coats, closed toed shoes, gloves and scarves are recommended especially at night. Comfortable walking shoes are preferred by most visitors because the Strip is several miles long.
Vegas casinos are constructed such that no clocks or windows are visible, encouraging people to lose any sense of time. Setting limits is important if you dont want to suffer regrets later: Decide up front:
how much you can afford to gamble/loose
how many drinks you responsibly imbibe at any given point
how much sun you can be exposed to without burning
when you need to go to bed to be able to participate in the next days activities
Most visitors do not want to pay for one nights excesses by being incapacitated the following 24 hours.
Visitors need to allow plenty of time to arrive at different Las Vegas destinations. Being on time is important when having dinner reservations, show tickets, and business meetings. Las Vegas Boulevard tends be very crowded during holidays, weekends, when conventions are in town, and peak travel periods, usually between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Waits for the monorail, taxis, and shuttles can easily last in excess of 30 minutes at night and even longer after a convention or show has closed for the day. www.cheapfares.com
