| - Review: rooms= good. That's it.
Never buy beer at a bar, $7-$8 plus tip?
Head to a store in the hotel; literally half price $3-$4 minus no tip
Only individual beers sold no 12 or 24 packs; for best value stock up before.
You're going to lug it to your room if you buy it at the store anyways.
Don't be surprised to be paying $10 a pack for cigarettes, just bend over as soon as you check in.
Don't waste time buying outside the hotel on the strip, your still paying strip prices.($$$)
Sit down at a machine and play a dollar or two, pretend to play I don't care. Cocktail waitresses will eventually come around and take your order. Just tip her and you're good. No need to purchase a $14 mojito at the bar.
Sign up for a players card, it's free and besides stores owned by the property offer a discount for having one.
Sign up for suite charges, depends on the hotel but you can get points for charging to your room. It's going to the same card anyways? Why not.
Not only should you stock up on essentials like water and food before, but on CASH as well.
There are no banks on the strip, so take out whatever you think you need.
Because ATM's inside charge a high service fee, plus whatever fee your bank might charge.
You're going to need all your change. Keep all your singles, you gotta tip everyone here; doorman, valet, baggage handler, bartender, cocktail waitress, your regular waitress. Having a few extra dollars really helps out.
It happens, you pack everything, except your toothbrush.
Don't buy inside one of the shops, go to the hospitality desk and/or ask the housekeeper and receive essential toiletries for free.( toothbrush, razor, q-tips, etc)
Don't do the tourist thing and ride the monorail. Do ride it if you need to actually go somewhere. But don't ride it for the view. Unless you like parking garages.
Don't bring your coins, slot machines in most hotels do not take the kind of money that jingles it only takes the kind that folds.
Check in is officially anywhere from 3-5pm. Checkout is 11 am. Ask when you check in if there is a later check out, instead of 11, it could be 2.
