Planning Your Trip to Las Vegas?

We have answered the questions guests ask most, from navigating the Strip and understanding resort fees to finding the best dining, entertainment, and casino experiences across our properties. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning for another unforgettable stay, this guide is your go-to resource for everything Las Vegas.

Is Las Vegas a good destination for first‑time visitors?

Yes, Las Vegas is an excellent destination for first-time visitors, especially those traveling after turning 21.

The city offers a wide range of experiences beyond nightlife that make it easy to explore at your own pace. 

What makes Vegas great for first-timers: 

  1. Dining, shows, shopping, outdoor promenades, wellness experiences, and free attractions are all accessible without prior planning 
  2. Walking-friendly areas allow travelers to see multiple attractions without constant transportation 
  3. Pools, spas, and casual daytime activities help prevent burnout between high-energy moments 
  4. Many iconic sights and public attractions are free or low-cost 

Planning one or two must-do experiences (a show, observation attraction, or special meal) while keeping the rest of the itinerary flexible often leads to the most enjoyable trip. Comfortable walking shoes, advance planning for popular activities, and awareness of age-restricted areas help first-time visitors feel prepared and confident. 

How many days do you need for a Las Vegas trip?

Most visitors find that three nights is a comfortable length for a Las Vegas trip, especially for first-time travelers. This allows time to explore the Strip, enjoy a show or major attraction, plan a pool or spa visit, and experience dining and entertainment without feeling rushed. 

Vegas trip length by travel style: 

2 nights - Focused trips built around one or two main experiences 

3 nights - Ideal for first-time visitors balancing exploration with downtime 

4-5 nights - Better for day trips, conventions, or a slower pace 

Planning fewer must-do activities per day and balancing high-energy moments with downtime (pool mornings, relaxed meals) helps prevent burnout. The ideal trip length depends less on availability and more on pacing, priorities, and how much time visitors want to spend exploring on foot versus resting and recharging. 

 

When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is a year-round destination, and the best time to visit depends on the kind of experience you want. 

By season: 

Spring and fall - Most comfortable temperatures for walking the Strip, outdoor attractions, and poolside amenities, with major sporting events, concerts, and residencies adding energy 

Summer - Hot weather, but nightlife, pool culture, and entertainment run at full throttle, with more time spent indoors at shows, casinos, restaurants, and pools 

Winter - Cooler temperatures and a calmer pace, with large-scale holiday celebrations, themed events, and New Year's Eve festivities 

Las Vegas hosts major sporting events, festivals, conventions, and holiday celebrations throughout the year, so travelers should consider weather preferences, crowd levels, and the events they're most interested in when deciding when to visit. 

What should visitors prioritize when planning a Las Vegas trip?

Visitors should start by identifying their top priorities and building the trip around those experiences. 

Planning priorities: 

Location - Choose a hotel that supports walkability to reduce transportation time and make it easier to explore multiple attractions daily 

Entertainment - Book must-see shows, dining experiences, or ticketed attractions early to avoid limited availability during busy periods 

Rewards - Enroll in a casino rewards program before booking to unlock member rates, perks, and the ability to earn credits on hotel stays, dining, entertainment, and other purchases 

Pacing and budget: 

Balance high-energy activities with downtime (pool mornings, spa visits, casual meals) to prevent fatigue 

Set a realistic daily budget and plan transportation in advance Leave flexibility in the itinerary for spontaneous discovery 

Using a rewards account consistently during the visit helps guests take advantage of offers, tier benefits, and credits that can be applied toward future travel or on-property experiences. 

Is Las Vegas expensive to visit?

It depends. Las Vegas can fit a wide range of budgets, from luxury experiences to affordable options that make the city accessible without overspending. 

Ways to manage costs: 

Weeknight stays tend to be more affordable than weekends 

Traveling outside major conventions or citywide events helps keep hotel, dining, and transportation costs lower 

Choosing accommodations in walkable areas reduces transportation expenses 

Many iconic experiences are free or low-cost, including public attractions, outdoor promenades, and resort-to-resort exploring 

Dining tips for budget-conscious visitors: 

Mix casual meals with one or two special dining experiences 

Opt for lunch or weekday dining at higher-end restaurants instead of peak evening hours 

Set a daily budget and prioritize experiences that matter most 

With intentional planning, a Las Vegas trip can feel both memorable and affordable, especially if you maximize your loyalty points

What’s the difference between the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas?

The Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas offer two distinct experiences, each suited to different travel styles and priorities. 

The Las Vegas Strip: 

Large-scale resort hotels, headline entertainment, nightlife, dining, and iconic attractions spread along a multi-mile corridor 

Central Strip locations cluster resorts, restaurants, show venues, and nightlife close together for walkability 

Best for guests who want immersive resort experiences and a full evening flowing from dinner to shows to late-night entertainment 

Downtown Las Vegas (Fremont Street): 

More compact and historic atmosphere with attractions closer together 

Classic casinos, live music, street performances, and an open-air nightlife scene 

More casual and intimate, with a stronger emphasis on street-level energy and vintage Las Vegas character 

Many visitors enjoy experiencing both areas during a single trip. Choosing between them depends on whether travelers prioritize large entertainment hubs and resort amenities or a smaller, more concentrated nightlife and gaming experience. 

What should first‑time visitors know before going to Las Vegas?

First-time visitors should know that Las Vegas requires guests to be 21 or older to check in to a hotel, gamble, or purchase alcohol, and valid photo ID is required at all times for gaming areas, alcohol service, and age-restricted venues. 

Key expectations for a first visit: 

The city is larger and more walk-intensive than most visitors expect, with expansive resorts and deceiving distances between destinations 

Comfortable shoes, strategic use of rideshare or resort trams, and realistic daily plans help avoid fatigue 

The desert climate requires hydration year-round, not just in summer, especially with extended walking and nightlife 

Although marijuana is legal in Nevada, its use is not permitted on hotel properties, including guest rooms and public areas 

Planning a few priority experiences in advance (shows, dining) reduces stress, while leaving flexibility allows room for discovery 

Pacing matters in a city that operates around the clock. Balancing late nights with downtime such as pool time, spa visits, or relaxed meals makes the trip more enjoyable and manageable. 

How far in advance should you plan a Las Vegas trip?

Las Vegas accommodates both last-minute getaways and trips planned well in advance, but planning ahead often provides more flexibility and peace of mind. 

What to book early: 

Hotel reservations, especially during busy periods or major events 

Headline shows, residencies, or special performances, as entertainment availability can fill up before hotel rooms do 

Popular or in-demand restaurants, particularly for special occasions (contact the restaurant directly to clarify lead time) 

When flexibility works: 

Midweek travel or quieter periods often allow closer-to-date planning 

Same-day dining and entertainment options are frequently available outside peak periods 

Regardless of timing, securing lodging, entertainment, and priority dining in advance helps reduce last-minute stress and allows travelers to focus on enjoying their time once they arrive. 

Is Las Vegas a good destination year‑round?

Yes, Las Vegas is a strong destination year-round, with each season offering a different type of experience and no true off-season. 

What to expect by season: 

Spring and fall - Comfortable conditions, busy entertainment calendars, ideal for walking, outdoor attractions, and pool time 

Summer - Hotter weather, but Las Vegas adapts with late-night activity, pool-focused experiences, and a heavy emphasis on indoor shows, dining, shopping, and nightlife 

Winter - Cooler temperatures and a slightly calmer pace, paired with large-scale holiday celebrations, themed decor, and major entertainment moments 

Las Vegas consistently hosts shows, sporting events, nightlife, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year. Travelers should choose when to visit based on personal preferences for weather, crowd levels, and the types of experiences they want to prioritize rather than avoiding any particular time of year. 

Is Las Vegas better suited for adults or families?

Las Vegas works well for both adults and families, depending on how a trip is planned and which experiences visitors prioritize. 

For adults: 

Nightlife, casinos, lounges, and entertainment that runs late into the evening 

Adult-only environments such as nightlife-style pools, bars, and shows 

Quieter options like spas, fine dining, and relaxation-focused amenities 

For families: 

Family-friendly shows, interactive attractions, outdoor promenades, and wildlife habitats 

Resort pool complexes with designated all-ages areas 

Gaming floors, bars, and certain venues restricted to 21-plus are clearly marked, making it easier to navigate 

Las Vegas works best for families who plan intentionally and for adults who balance high-energy activities with downtime. Choosing accommodations with a mix of adult-only and family-friendly options and building a schedule around age-appropriate experiences helps ensure the trip feels enjoyable for everyone. 

Can I Bring My Dog to the Hotel?

Are Las Vegas hotels pet-friendly, and what should I know before traveling with my pet?

Yes, many Las Vegas hotels are pet-friendly, though policies vary by property. Most accept dogs only, with weight limits, nightly pet fees, and designated pet-friendly rooms that must be booked in advance. Caesars Entertainment welcomes dogs at participating Las Vegas resorts through the PetStay program.

General pet policies across Las Vegas hotels:

Getting Around Vegas

From navigating the Strip and finding the best transportation options to understanding parking, rideshares, and getting between properties, everything you need to know about getting around Las Vegas is right here.

What transportation options are available for traveling from the airport to your Las Vegas destination?

Visitors arriving at Harry Reid International Airport have several transportation options, and the best choice depends on budget, group size, luggage, and where they are staying.

Rideshare and taxis:

Readily available at the airport with direct, point-to-point service Convenient for travelers with luggage, late arrivals, or those who prefer a faster trip Service to hotels on the Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and surrounding areas.

Shared airport shuttles:

Passengers are grouped onto larger vehicles serving several neighboring hotels along a set route Lower-cost option for solo travelers or small groups Travel times may be longer due to multiple stops Availability varies by hotel and booking type, so travelers should confirm options in advance.

Hotel-included transportation:

Some hotel stays and suite categories may include complimentary airport transportation or private car service Not available for all room types, so guests should review transportation inclusions when reserving.

Public transportation (RTC):

Airport bus routes serve the Las Vegas metropolitan area, including stops near major Strip resorts Generally involves longer travel times and possible transfers Best suited for travelers comfortable navigating public transit and not in a hurry

When choosing airport transportation, visitors should consider arrival time, luggage needs, group size, and destination proximity. Planning this step ahead of time can make arrival smoother and reduce stress after landing.

What transportation options are available in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas offers several transportation options, and the best choice depends on where visitors are staying, how far they plan to travel, and how much flexibility they want.

Rideshare and taxis:

Widely used throughout Las Vegas for direct, point-to-point transportation. Especially useful for short trips, late-night travel, or destinations that are not easily walkable

Walking:

Common along portions of the Strip where resorts, restaurants, and Vegas attractions are clustered Routes often involve navigating large resort interiors, pedestrian bridges, and outdoor stretches Distances can feel longer than expected

Las Vegas Monorail:

Runs frequently between several major resort areas along part of the Strip Convenient for avoiding street traffic between Monorail-served locations

Public transportation (RTC):

Bus routes run along the Strip and into Downtown Las Vegas with stops near major hotels and casinos Follows fixed routes and schedules May take longer than rideshare or taxi services

Rental cars:

Helpful for visitors exploring beyond the Strip, such as Downtown, off-Strip attractions, or destinations outside the city Parking availability and policies vary by location

Bus tours and hop-on, hop-off services:

Offer a way to see major areas of Las Vegas while traveling between popular destinations

Most visitors use a mix of options throughout their stay depending on distance, schedule, and preference.

Do visitors need to rent a car in Las Vegas, and what does getting around without one look like?

Most visitors do not need a rental car if their plans are focused on the Strip or Downtown Las Vegas.

When a car is not needed:

Hotels, dining, entertainment, and attractions in central areas are relatively close together. Rideshare and taxi services are readily available day and night. Walking between nearby resorts is common and practical. This approach works especially well for shorter stays, first-time visitors, or trips centered on shows, dining, and nightlife.

When renting a car helps:

Day trips to nearby destinations, off-Strip attractions, or events outside the resort corridor benefit from having a vehicle. Some hotels offer on-property car rental locations, making it easy to rent for part of the stay rather than the entire trip.

Deciding factors:

Parking availability at the hotel. How often visitors plan to leave central areas. Whether driving flexibility outweighs the convenience of on-demand transportation.

For many trips, a mix of walking and rideshare is sufficient, while others benefit from having a car for specific days or excursions.

What are the common ways visitors navigate the Las Vegas Strip?

Visitors typically navigate the Las Vegas Strip using a combination of walking, rideshare, and Strip-specific transportation, depending on distance, time of day, and personal preference.

Walking:

Common between nearby resorts and attractions, particularly in central Strip areas. Routes often pass through large resort interiors, pedestrian bridges, and outdoor sections. Visitors should plan extra time even for short distances.

Rideshare and taxis:

Widely used for farther distances or to avoid long walks, heat, or late-night fatigue. Most Strip resorts have designated pickup and drop-off locations.

Las Vegas Monorail:

Runs frequently between several major resort areas. Convenient for traveling along part of the Strip without dealing with street traffic.

Public bus service (RTC):

Runs along the Strip with stops near major hotels and casinos. Follows fixed routes and schedules. May take longer than rideshare or taxi for short Strip trips.

Because the Strip stretches several miles, many visitors use a mix of transportation methods throughout their stay. Choosing how to get around often depends on how far apart destinations are and whether convenience or flexibility is the priority.

What should visitors know about walking the Las Vegas Strip, including how much time to allow?

Walking is a popular way to experience the Las Vegas Strip, but visitors should plan for more time and effort than expected.

Why walks take longer:

Many people walk the Strip to sightsee rather than move quickly, which naturally slows pacing. Routes often pass through large resort interiors, pedestrian bridges, and outdoor sections. Crowds, security checkpoints, and evening foot traffic can affect how quickly a walk progresses. Walking works best for short distances between nearby resorts or for flexible daytime exploration.

Desert climate awareness:

Wear sunscreen, carry water bottles, and hydrate frequently, not just in summer. Take additional care after consuming alcoholic beverages. Hats, lightweight long-sleeved cover-ups, umbrellas, or portable fans help manage sun exposure during longer walks.

Visitors with mobility needs:

Some hotels offer wheelchair or mobility scooter rentals through on-property services. Many visitors combine walking with rideshare, taxis, or Strip-specific transportation to reduce fatigue.Planning walking routes intentionally and building in time for rest helps make exploring the Strip more comfortable and enjoyable.

What distances separate hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, and how does that affect travel between them?

Hotels on the Las Vegas Strip are often farther apart than they appear, and individual resorts themselves can be very large.

Why distances are deceiving:

The Strip stretches several miles from end to end. Many resort properties occupy expansive campuses with long internal walkways, multiple towers, and large public spaces. Moving from one resort to another often involves walking through hotel interiors, navigating pedestrian bridges, and covering outdoor distances. Short trips can feel much longer than anticipated, even when destinations look close on a map.

How visitors manage distance:

Grouping activities by location reduces unnecessary back-and-forth movement across the Strip. Using a mix of walking and transportation options bridges longer gaps while saving energy. Rideshare services, taxis, the Monorail, and on-property connectors help cover farther distances more comfortably.

Understanding how far apart hotels are, and how large resorts can be, helps visitors plan more realistic itineraries and move around the Strip with less fatigue.

What should visitors expect from public transportation in Las Vegas?

Public transportation is available throughout Las Vegas, but it works best when travelers plan around fixed routes and schedules rather than expecting fast point-to-point service.

What the RTC bus system offers:

Vegas bus routes operate across the Las Vegas metropolitan area, running along the Strip, into Downtown Las Vegas, and to major transit hubs. Stops are located near most large hotels and casinos. Transit centers and park-and-ride locations are available for riders who want to leave their car and continue by bus. Buses are designed to be accessible and serve riders with mobility needs.

When public transit works well:

Visitors comfortable planning ahead and traveling longer distances along established routes.

When other options may be better:

Short trips between nearby Strip resorts, late-night travel, or visitors with tight schedules, luggage, or frequent reservation times.

Many visitors choose public transportation for certain parts of their trip while relying on rideshare services, taxis, or walking for others.

What should visitors know about walking distances in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is more spread out than many visitors expect, and walking distances across the city can be significant.

Why distances feel longer than expected:

Even outside the Strip, attractions, hotels, and entertainment venues often sit within large properties or across wide roads. What appears to be a short walk on a map may involve navigating long hotel corridors, crossing multi-lane streets, or walking extended outdoor stretches. This is especially noticeable when moving between different areas, such as from the Strip to Downtown Las Vegas or between off-Strip destinations.

When walking works best:

Short distances within the same area. Sightseeing without a tight schedule.

How visitors manage longer distances:

A combination of rideshare services, taxis, public transportation, or Strip-specific options reduces the need to walk the entire way. Grouping activities by location conserves energy. Choosing transportation that fits pace and mobility needs keeps the day comfortable.

Understanding the overall scale of Las Vegas allows visitors to plan realistic itineraries and move around more comfortably throughout the day.

Hotels

From choosing the right property for your travel style and budget to understanding resort fees, amenities, and what to expect at our iconic Las Vegas hotels, find everything you need to plan the perfect stay.

What should guests expect when arriving at a Las Vegas hotel?

When guests arrive at a Las Vegas hotel, the experience follows a structured but flexible flow designed to handle high volumes of arrivals throughout the day.

Arrival and check-in process:

Most guests begin at the front desk or designated check-in area to confirm their reservation and present valid photo identification. Hotels verify booking details, review basic policies, and provide room access once accommodations are ready. Arrival areas may include multiple check-in lines, kiosks, or separate counters depending on room type or guest status.

Luggage handling for early arrivals:

Guests who arrive before their room is ready can typically store luggage securely with the hotel. This allows visitors to begin exploring, dining, or attending events without waiting in the lobby. Many hotel offer an upgrade service to checkin to a room early if it is available.

Late arrivals:

Arriving late is generally not an issue at Las Vegas hotels. Front desks operate around the clock, and reservations are held as long as they are properly guaranteed.

What first-time guests should expect:

Las Vegas hotels are often much larger than hotels in other destinations. Guests should expect longer walking distances inside the property, clearly marked wayfinding, and a lively atmosphere at most hours.

Knowing what to expect upon arrival helps reduce stress and allows guests to transition smoothly into their stay.

What are typical check‑in and check‑out times at Las Vegas hotels, and how flexible are they?

Las Vegas hotels generally follow standard hospitality timing, with check-in in the afternoon and check-out in the late morning.

Flexibility on timing:

Early check-in and late check-out may be available but are typically based on availability rather than guaranteed. Flexibility depends on factors such as room type, demand, and how busy the hotel is during that period.

For early arrivals or late departures:

Hotels commonly offer luggage storage, allowing guests to explore, dine, or attend events without needing immediate room access. Guests interested in early or late room access are encouraged to check with the front desk, as availability can change throughout the day.

Late evening arrivals:

Guests arriving later in the evening are encouraged to contact the hotel to update their expected arrival time so the reservation can be properly adjusted.

Understanding that check-in and check-out times are guidelines rather than rigid rules helps set realistic expectations and allows guests to plan their travel days more comfortably.

Can you store luggage before check‑in in Las Vegas?

Yes. Most Las Vegas hotels offer luggage storage through bell services before check-in and after check-out.

This service is typically available 24 hours a day, allowing guests to explore the area or attend events without their bags. Availability and procedures can vary by property, so guests should confirm details directly with the hotel.

Are Las Vegas hotels all‑inclusive?

No. Las Vegas hotels are not all-inclusive.

A standard hotel booking typically covers the guest room, while meals, drinks, entertainment, gaming, spa services, and other experiences are paid for separately.

What to know about additional costs:

Some hotels charge a daily resort fee that includes select amenities such as in-room Wi-Fi or fitness center access. Seasonal packages or special offers may bundle certain items together. All-inclusive stays are not the typical Las Vegas hotel experience.

Guests are encouraged to review what is included at their specific hotel so they know what to expect during their stay.

What should guests expect from Las Vegas hotels, including common services and amenities?

Las Vegas hotels are designed to function as full-scale resorts, offering far more than a place to sleep.

Guests should expect larger properties, a livelier atmosphere, and a wide range of services available throughout the day and night.

What makes Las Vegas hotels different:

Many hotels are expansive, with multiple towers, large public spaces, and a constant flow of activity. Resorts often house restaurants, entertainment venues, pools, spas, shopping, and nightlife all in one location. Wayfinding signage, hotel staff, and concierge desks are commonly available to help guests navigate large properties.

Common services guests can expect:

Front desk and concierge services. Bell desk and luggage assistance. On-site dining options. Pools, fitness centers, and access to entertainment or nightlife venues within the resort. Room service or mobile ordering. Business services, meeting spaces, and guest support desks.

Overall experience:

Staying at a Las Vegas hotel often feels more immersive than staying at a traditional city hotel. Guests should plan for larger spaces, more walking within the property, and a broader range of on-site experiences.

Are Las Vegas hotels open to non‑guests?

Yes. Las Vegas hotels are generally open to the public.

Non-guests can typically visit casinos, restaurants, shops, and other public areas.

Areas that may have restricted access:

Guest room floors usually require a room key. Some amenities such as fitness centers and spas are reserved for registered hotel guests. Pool access is often limited, though non-hotel guests may be able to purchase a day pass or rent a cabana depending on the property.

General access guidelines:

Identification is required in casino gaming areas and other age-restricted venues. Access can vary depending on the venue or time, and policies may differ by property.

Do Las Vegas hotels require a security deposit?

Yes. Las Vegas hotels typically require a credit card to secure a reservation.

What to know about deposits:

The deposit is used to cover potential incidentals or additional charges during the stay. Even when a reservation is prepaid or complimentary, a credit card is still required at check-in for incidentals. Deposit requirements and handling can vary by property and reservation type.

Are hotel amenities shared between Las Vegas resorts?

It depends on the resort.

How shared access works at Caesars Entertainment properties:

Guests may be able to access certain amenities at sister properties, such as pools, fitness centers, spas, and other guest amenities, when shared access is offered. Any shared access is explicitly stated and should not be assumed.

At other Las Vegas resorts:

Other resorts may not allow amenities to be shared between affiliated properties.

General access:

Public venues such as casinos, restaurants, and entertainment spaces are generally open to both guests and non-guests regardless of where they are staying. Because access can vary by resort, guests should confirm available amenities with their hotel at check-in.

Is Las Vegas accessible for guests with disabilities, and how can accessibility accommodations be requested?

Yes. Las Vegas is generally accessible for guests with disabilities.

Many hotels offer accommodations to support mobility, hearing, and visual needs.

Common accessibility features:

Accessible guest rooms. Step-free routes and elevators. Auxiliary aids for effective communication. Accessible public areas. Service animals welcomed as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Examples of available accommodations:

Accessible guest rooms. Roll-in showers. Visual notification devices. Assistive listening equipment. Step-free routes and elevators. Support for service animals as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

How to request accommodations:
