Las Vegas for luxury travelers
Mid-Strip between The LINQ and Bellagio for a first visit. You're walking distance to 80% of what you'll want to see, and room rates run $120-200 on weekday nights. Downtown Fremont Street is the budget alternative at $50-90, with better food and fewer crowds, but a 15-minute rideshare from the main Strip attractions.

Must-see
The Las Vegas Strip after dark. Walk south from The Venetian to the Bellagio, roughly a mile. The fountains fire every 15 minutes from 8pm, with jets reaching up to 460 feet in 28°C desert air. The Sphere, opened 2023, is the one structure worth booking a ticket for. The High Roller wheel gives the orientation view from 550 feet.

Cultural etiquette
Vegas runs on tips. Dealers, cocktail servers, valets, and housekeeping all expect them. At casino tables, don't touch your bet once cards are dealt, don't use your phone, and don't hand cash directly to the dealer. Place it on the felt. Nightclub dress codes are enforced at clubs like XS and Omnia. The rest of Vegas is casual.

Airport to city
Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) sits about 2.5 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip. Take a rideshare (Uber or Lyft) for $15-25 and 10-15 minutes to most Strip hotels. Pickup is on Level 2 of the parking garage at both terminals. Taxis cost $5-10 more and carry a common long-haul scam risk.
