Solo travel
Las Vegas scores a 6/10 for solo travel, reflecting a 5.8/10 solo-traveler safety floor (see the TTDI Solo-Safety Index). Hotels price by room, not by head, so there is no single supplement.

Getting around
Uber and Lyft for everything beyond a 3-casino walking radius. The Strip stretches 4 miles, but pedestrian skybridges and casino-floor crossings double actual walking time. Summer daytime temperatures reach 40°C on the pavement. The Deuce bus runs 24 hours on Las Vegas Boulevard, $8 for a day pass. The monorail covers only the east side of the Strip and does not reach the airport.

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.

Best time to visit
March through May and October through November. Desert summer in Las Vegas regularly reaches 43°C (110°F), and the 4-mile Strip walk becomes unbearable from June through August. Spring and fall deliver highs of 25-32°C, lower hotel rates than the December-January peak, and comfortable evenings for Fremont Street's hourly light shows.

Is it safe?
Las Vegas scores 5.8 out of 10 for solo-traveler safety (see the TTDI Solo-Safety Index). The Strip's 24-hour surveillance and casino security make its 4-mile corridor safer than most American downtowns after dark, but 2 blocks in either direction the picture changes fast. Real risks for solos are summer heat illness, drink spiking at pool parties, and petty theft. Violent crime concentrates off-Strip. Emergency number is 911.
