Las Vegas - Lonely Planet Travel Video

Lonely Planet author Sara Benson is a big fan of Las Vegas. Traditionally a city of dirty little secrets, it's now a high-rolling playground where the $20 hotel room is now a thing of the past. It's all that you would expect - casinos, strip bars, drive-thru wedding chapels, $5 steaks - and some things you would not: chic art galleries, the Atomic Testing Museum and a serious underground punk scene. Beware, there's absolutely no rest for the good nor the wicked.

Las Vegas looks great! awesome video

As a local, this vid packs a ton of information, and good tips off the strip. Really well done. I'm glad folks like

jmac705 steer clear of Fremont East. His money is better spent in clubs that sucker him for a 20 dollar cover and 15 dollar cocktails. Fremont East is truly for a more genuine, hipper set. Another off strip gem is the "Pinball Hall of Fame", tons of restored, playable, pinball machines.

I live here and see it for what it really is. Most people who move here, come here and get stuck. They don't make enough money to move back to their home state because the jobs don't pay anything here. It is like Las Vegas hasn't kept up with the rest of the U.S. when it comes to wages. We spend so much on Power bills in the summer and they keep going up on the rates. 4 rate increases in 1 year is ridiculous. The average power bill is over $200 per month.

You got that right. It might be cheap to fly here and even stay at one of the hotels, but the casinos have tightened up the machines, so you wont hear about anyone winning any money. Most of the casinos are empty now because of the economy. Too many people are without jobs here and they do not gamble because they don't have the money. That is why they tightened the machines, so they can get their money back from tourists. Las Vegas Sucks ASS!

Oh you don't know the half of it. They have cut teaching jobs in already over crowded schools. The only place you can drink alcohol on the street is on the Las Vegas Strip, outside of that you will get arrested. They don't show the child prostitution or the crazy people who will mug you. They only show and talk about the glamorous stuff. What about all the businesses that have closed due to the economy. Yeah, she isn't telling anyone about that.

Las Vegas is one big ole cesspool. She is lying, you cannot do whatever you want. The cops will bust your ass and take you to jail. They raid the strip clubs all the time. They have lady cops at the strip club waiting to bait you in. Every other house is a foreclosure, there are more and more homeless people filling our streets. Crime is up, wages are down and they have tightened the machines so they don't pay out. The casinos are trying to get their money back from tourist. It sucks.
