Our favourite Vegas tips!

◆ Park MGM is the only smoke-free casino on the Strip, which makes a big difference if you’re not into the smoky vibe.

◆ The Taco Bell Cantina next to Planet Hollywood serves alcohol. Yes, you can get a frozen Baja Blast with tequila.

◆ There’s a 24-hour bakery at the Paris Hotel — ideal for late-night cravings or an emergency pastry.

◆ For classic coin-operated slot machines (and actual “ka-ching” sounds), go to Slots A Fun at Circus Circus. It’s wonderfully old school.

◆ Avoid hotel gift shops — they often don’t show prices so they can overcharge you. For snacks, sunscreen, and essentials, go to CVS, Walgreens, or ABC Stores.

◆ Everything takes longer than you think. Even “quick” things like grabbing a snack before a show — add at least 20 minutes. Vegas time runs differently.

◆ You can legally drink on the street as long as it’s in a plastic cup or can — just no glass containers.

◆ The Strip looks walkable, but it’s not. Everything is massive and the heat makes it worse. Use Uber/Lyft, the Monorail, or give yourself time.

◆ The Arts District is worth checking out — cool bars, vintage shops, murals, and a totally different vibe than the Strip.

◆ Want a cocktail with a view? Head to SkyBar at the Waldorf Astoria. It’s swanky but low-key and doesn’t require a cover charge.

◆ One for the Nottingham crowd, there’s a bar in The Excalibur Hotel and Casino called ‘The Sherwood Forest’

◆ If you’re going to gamble, set a limit and expect to lose it. Think of it as entertainment, not income.

◆ The Bellagio fountains are cheesy in the best way — worth seeing at least once, especially at night.

◆ Wear comfy shoes. Even when you’re not trying to walk far, you will. Vegas is sneaky like that.

◆ There’s air-con everywhere, so bring a layer — especially in casinos and restaurants, it gets weirdly cold.
