I visit Las Vegas every summer. Here are 10 things I always tell new visitors to avoid.

I visit Las Vegas every year, sometimes for business and other times for vacation.
From high-end restaurants to glitzy shows, there's a reason the city has millions of visitors each year.
But navigating Sin City can be a bit like wading through a sea of slot machines for a first-timer.
To ensure you maximize your trip, here's my advice on what not to do when visiting Las Vegas.
Renting a car in Las Vegas may sound like a good idea, but it's often more trouble than it's worth. Picture endless traffic, scarce parking, and hefty fees at every turn.
Fortunately, the city's compact layout and extensive public transportation make getting around a breeze.
Save money by opting for alternatives like taxis, rideshares, or the convenient monorail system.
Although spontaneity is thrilling, Las Vegas can be overwhelming without a plan.
Research shows, events, and reservations in advance to make the most of your stay.
Whether you're snagging tickets to a must-see show or securing a table at a trendy restaurant, planning ahead ensures you won't miss out on the city's best offerings.
Entering a casino without a strategy is a recipe for financial woes.
Las Vegas games are designed to favor the house, so it's wise to brush up on the rules before hitting the tables.
Set a budget and stick to it, which can help you ensure your gambling experience remains fun and doesn't turn into a financial nightmare.
There are pros and cons to staying on the Strip, the most famous stretch of shops, hotels, and restaurants in Vegas.
Although off-Strip hotels can offer better rates and a quieter environment, you probably don't want to stay too far from the area when visiting Vegas for the first time.
The convenience of being within walking distance — or at least a short rideshare — of attractions, restaurants, and entertainment venues is well worth the extra expense.
Choose accommodations along or near the Strip to maximize your first Las Vegas experience.
Like any city, Las Vegas has its share of scams, pickpockets, and other hazards.
In fact, even though I've been more times than I can count, I had my laptop stolen in a rideshare during my last visit. So stay vigilant and safeguard your belongings when you are out and about.
Be cautious when approached by overly friendly strangers, and avoid accepting unsolicited offers. Those "discounts" to shows and other attractions may be scams if they're offered by an untrustworthy source.
Stick with your hotel concierge's advice on scoring discounts, and stay alert when you're walking around.
The iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and other popular attractions are magnets for tourists.
Avoid the crowds and long lines by visiting these sites during off-peak hours.

Las Vegas Launches Campaign to Encourage Excessive Celebration at Super Bowl LVIII
Las Vegas, the Official Host City of Super Bowl LVIII, has launched a petition on Change.org urging football fans to encourage excessive celebration during the city’s first foray into hosting the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024. The petition was accompanied by a music video featuring former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and Grammy-nominated artist Tobe Nwigwe. The petition is a nod to the fact that while professional sports often restrict excessive celebrations, they are always encouraged in Las Vegas. “Whether you are on the Strip, in the stadiums, or just here for a good time, Las Vegas will forever be the home of excessive celebration,” reads the petition in part.
