It's definitely an experience! I wouldn't take kids. There are lots of interesting characters for sure. I would suggest you stay on the beaten path. We paid $30 for 2 24oz draft beers at one of the street bars at The D, I get there's a premium to be paid, but come on man! We did learn to just go into one of the stores and buy packaged beer much cheaper. Also about $20 cab ride from the south end of the strip one way. I'll go back and do it differently for sure.
