Travel + Leisure: 12 Mistakes Travelers Make In Las Vegas

Generally speaking, Las Vegas, Nevada is not one of my favorite places to go to. This has been the case since the 1980s when the town was much smaller, more affordable and not so crowded.

These days, whenever I do find myself in Sin City, it is usually for a stopover while en route to somewhere else or for a wedding (most recently last January).

But if one finds Las Vegas alluring, Travel + Leisure has an article on 12 mistakes travelers make in Las Vergas and how to avoid them.

They begin it with:

In Las Vegas, you never have to go far to find what you're looking for — interconnected hotels, 4,000-seat theaters, retail shops, and celebrity chef restaurants can be found around every corner. And when it comes to cocktails, well, let's just say you've got options, too.

But this abundance of choice is also what makes figuring out what to do while visiting so intimidating. There are plenty of ways to have fun here — and just as many ways to blow through your spending money. That's why it's important to be strategic in Sin City, says Anthony Curtis, founder of Las Vegas Advisor.

"Vegas is such a competitive landscape," he says. "There are 70-plus casinos all vying for the same money." As a result, he says, businesses are always offering incentives to get you in the door — you just have to know where to find them. "Be a consumer," he urges. "Look around. If you see a magazine, open it up, and see what's inside. Don't just do the first thing you see; look around a little bit until you find the best deal."

Some would argue that financial prudence has no place in Vegas. But in a town full of suckers, it pays to use your head. Read on for 12 rookie mistakes to avoid on your next Las Vegas vacation.
