I got robbed when I paid 11.50 for a Budweiser.
😂😂😂
Just go to Walgreens or CVS or just go right off the strip and grab a beer from a convenience store.
Dayum!! You couldve got a good IPA six pack for that much in the grocery store, hahaha.
you must be great fun at parties. (I think he was being facetious)...
*paid
I’ve been to Vegas 5 time’s and got robbed all 5 time’s, every time I check out they hand me a bill with my resort fee’s and I feel robbed.
Maybe they robbed you of any grammar skills as well. There’s no apostrophe on plurals
True all the time get robbed by resort fee’s!!!
Wouldn’t they charge you those fees right off the bat
It’s not robbery if you know about the fees
@@jakesaen7263 well thats why the hotel fee is between $19.00 to $39.00
Paying for resort fees and parking. They get you all the time.
you use the parking
Parking is included in the resort fee, but you can park for free at Venetian, Tropicana, and Treasure Island if you don’t have a room
I fly
I thought the same thing
The resort fees are useless when you don’t need parking for a car lol 😂
As a tourist who visits once a year, it's way too common seeing other tourists by themselves and hella drunk. Enjoy and let loose, but don't get too drunk and wander the streets alone.
The parking garages can also be very sketchy at night.
I got robbed on a military base. This may not be Vegas related, but it could easily happen in Vegas. This relates to #4. I was returning to my barracks and I was well within the gates, however I still had a long walk across the base to my barracks. At some point, I came across a crowd that had gathered in a parking lot. I walked into the lot to see what was going on and two guys were getting into a fight. I didn't know them, but... hey, free entertainment, right? Everyone stood around watching them yell at each either, expecting swings to happen at any moment. Just when it seemed like they were finally going to have at it, two "friends" pulled them apart. Disappointed, the crowd dispersed. Very anticlimatic... I walked into my barracks and was ready to turn in for the night. I attempted to pull out my wallet to show my I.D. and my wallet was gone. I didn't lose it out in town. I just had it getting onto base. I lost it somewhere between the gate and my barracks, which made me realize the whole fight scene was staged. While a crowd was gathered to watch a potential fight, a third person went around the edge o the crowd to pick pockets. I tell you this story because I can easily see this very same scenario playing out anywhere around The Strip as well.
No matter where you go you don't ever let your guard down, always be aware of your surroundings
Just like anywhere else, always use common sense and be aware of your surroundings at all times! Thanks for sharing, Jacob.
Don’t forget having your drink spiked at Fremont! This falls in line with drinking too much alone. And if seen alone, your seen as a target. So a little spike in your drink is all it takes.
From a local that's been living here in Vegas for about 6 years now if your at the bar in the strip never tell the bartender your not from here and in vacation because they can and most likely will charge you a little bit extra for the drink if they think they can get away with it. For example when my cousin first found out i was living here in Vegas he decided to come stay with me for about a week and we went to the strip and while he went to use the restroom i bought myself a beer and it was about $5 and when he came back he went and bought the same beer and they tried changing him $13 just because they knew he was a tourists and not a local like me so i had to intervene and make them charge him the same amount that they charged me
They find out anyway when they I'd you
I just fake a thick Russian accent. Nothing scarier than a Russian gangster.
Or a mad Scotsman 😉😉
How about a bear with a machete?
It wouldn’t scare me
Alonzo didn't care. Now he's into the Russians for a million.
Or a Creepy German
I lived in Manhattan for 15 years. Everything you described is the exact same type of advice I would give to friends visiting NYC.
why is it america that have that kinda of stuff i live in a third world coutry we don't have that
Great video, Jacob. No need to be paranoid, but ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings.

So far. I been there 7 times the last time this year I went there was last weekend I always go by myself I always have two eyes behind me I'm always aware I'm from Los Angeles County 4 hours drive. yeah that place does get crazy but you're right always have to watch your surroundings a lot of people offer me this just like you said ignore them and just walk away and go about my business thanks for the tips hopefully that could help out for people when they come to Vegas
Advice from a local who lives here..expect the unexpected. Stay safe.
Local too ♥️
We got robbed at a club so this would fall under #4. We were at Jewel nightclub at Aria on a packed dance floor - where everyone is shoving to get by... Well, one of those times we were pushed turned out to be a distraction. A thief got into Maddie's latched purse and stole her phone while she was literally holding the purse.
I remember watching your tips before going to vegas back in 2016. Thank you for making these videos!!
Very good tips! I’m always aware of my surroundings whether on vacation or in my hometown!
Great Advise!! Thanks Jacob...
I'll tell you the worst robbery; Resort fees.
Hi Jacob, great scope with valuable tips👍😎👽
Seen you on Saturday night! Thx again for all the great content, sorry to partially interrupt, however keep them coming. 😁
How not to get robbed in vegas:
1. Keep your wallet/phone etc valuables in your front pockets
2. Don't enter the wrong neighbourhoods
3. Don't make it shown you're a tourist
4. Be more mindful in crowds
5. Ignore people trying to sell you stuff on the streets
6. Don't get drunk (alone)
Good video, always have to be cautious of your surroundings anywhere you go.
Good job. Great tips!
I remember I drank too much in Vegas and the only thing that happened to me was I fell asleep on the bus and kept missing my stop.
Hi Jacob,
Very helpful video… Thank you so much for all the hard work that you do so people can be safe in Las Vegas on their vacation piece🇺🇸✈️🙏😇☮️✝️💜⭐️🇮🇹
The number one way you get robbed is by playing any of the gambling games.
I have flight benefits and so have been checking out Las Vegas and I'm telling you, even in the middle of the day, I get nervous with some of these "characters" that hangout in corners, bus stops and everywhere else, where they just look like "squirrels trying to get a nut"....lol!
So, it does help to have a little bit of "street smarts" and be very aware of whats going on around you.
For example from my hotel I went to gas station/corner store, it wasnt quite nite time yet, but it was already starting to get dark... there were some guys hanging outside the store. So I went in, but when I came out, one of them started to walk in the direction where I had come from, I guess he was assuming I would be going back same way I came and maybe approach me (and not take "no" for an answer...lol), but when I saw him do that, I decided to cross the street instead and act like maybe now I'm going to Chipotle, but from the corner of my eye, I could see that when the guy saw me now going in a different direction, suddenly he wasnt going anywhere either and just came back to same corner....I mean luckily he didnt continue to follow me, but it goes to show that sometimes a simple move on your part, can maybe deter them a little....and again, just be on your toes at all times, because unfortunately that's the way it is in a lot of places now.
Never understood why ppl keep wallets in back pocket...
James Dean I don’t do it back home so I definitely wouldn’t do it on vacation
IKR?
I just went to vegas last weekend for the first time,i had my wallet in my back pocket but i had a chain on
Been to Vegas 22 times over the years by myself and never had any trouble at all, apart from the time I got pulled for speeding lol. Just use common sense like I would anywhere else.
I would say that those same reasons apply to ANY city, in ANY country.
Great information!!!
This is helpful and always serves as a reminder to be mindful and aware... always. Thanks Jacob.
Great Vid! Very informative and funny...
Resort fees are the biggest thieves
actually is't that fake 6 to 5 blackjack and the continuous shuffle machines, not the resort fees, that you should be mad about
Great info as usual .. Sometimes you don't think it's going to happen to you.
Thanks, I never had this problem there, but sadly happens everywhere.
Reason #6: You went to a strip club in LV
The only robbery of las vegas is the resort fee of the hotels and when buying water at car rental center of mcCarran..hahaaa, nice video, saludos desde Neuquen, Patagonia Argentina
Excellent advice
Thank you 🙏 for the tips about being robbed in Vegas especially I’m Canadian
It is great that you alerted those from other countries. Also, those from the less dense States. Those of us from the big cities are usually pretty awake to things..Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland..even Iowa. Heck, where was Vegas born? But, yes, we are pretty tough here in the USA. I have met so many easy going folk from other countries. Heads up, things move fast here CYA ALWAYS!!!
Great tips… thanks.
You're welcome Kaying!
Super helpful....
Great editing on this video :)
Very interesting. Have a nice day now.
Good advice! Been watching your channel as I will be in Vegas Dec 29-Jan 6. Been 18 years since last time and coming from Japan (I am a Canadian though lol)
This should be considered in all major cities, not just Las Vegas. However, Vegas is the safest city I've lived in vs. LA, Houston, Nashville, Chicago, & New York. Most cities I've visited don't make me feel as safe as Vegas does hands down. Bonus "Vegas has the largest police academy in the United States.
If you “wander” into a bad neighborhood what is your goal/intention anyway? When you go looking for trouble, it tends to find you.. if you need “adult accessories”, consult your hotel valet or restaurant busboy
Jacob is completely right lots of crime even in the nicest casinos!
I'm Canadian. Thanks for the tip!
Was just there! Glad I didn't have that experience I enjoyed every minute watchful eye everywhere you go not just Vegas! I'm from Chicago
My son was killed in Vegas. Was pushed onto the ground just outside the mcdonalds on the strip and 3 young men started eating his intestines. They dragged him into the street and ripped into his abdomen while no one helped. They ended up finding him just outside of TI over hanging the pirate ship.
Liar
I've only seen one robbery. A nicely dressed couple were mugged, strong armed on Fremont street, but that was about 30 years ago, long before the new big build up. They guy gave the two low lifes some money and they went away.
The only robberies I"ve seen on the Strip were by the casinos.
Yup Downtown is a shit hole..be-careful down there
These new resort fees.....smfh
Excellent video
My father always carried his wallet in in his front pocket back in Chicago. I always have as I followed his lead. How wise he was!
If you come to gamble, don't engage with other players. They will try to distract you and may end up asking you for money.
Kinda like carpooling with someone unreliable.
exactly my sis had two guys try to pick up on her while she was gambling because she had a designer bag and some money in the machine
I live in Las Vegas and play at Station's Casinos and Ellis Island every single day. I have never in my life seen anyone ask me, or anyone else, for money at a game. If you're caught begging as a hobo in a casino you will be BANNED immediately.
There are no "friends" when you gamble. Especially am I not making any! An everyone becomes my enemy if I'm winning!!
I live in Philly so I should be okay I appreciate the tips thank you
#1 reason - because law enforcement knows the problem yet does nothing.
I walked off the strip to a Bank of America ATM in a sketchy area and walked back. Key advice: dont act like a tourist. I had on dumpy clothes and sweats, said whats up to the locals and kept it moving. I looked broke lol
TheLtrain85 Yeah my daughter and I took the bus from the strip to Albertson’s A couple of miles east of there.We got off the bus and had to walk a few blocks we just walked on the street like we lived there. didn’t spend too much time rubbernecking just got the goods, got back on the bus and back to the strip. No problems
@@dacheet8174 ya us too! we took a bus from the strip to 15 minutes east of the strip then walked 10 minutes north from there to a restaurant we were looking for....then after a bus from the restaurant north to within 3 blocks of Fremont, then walked to our hotel....no problems at all ! just don't wear a lot of bling, dress average, keep valuables in your front pocket like he said, and try to blend in as much as you can. worked for us twice already !
Wearing crocs helps too. People wearing crocs in Vegas don’t get robbed
@Maurice Tua
Maybe, but it’s hard to run & fight with crocs on.
superserial : it would be hard to do both in any footwear 😆
Let's also mention even if they're taking the deuce strip tour bus a lot of locals take the deuce to fo home from work. You have your cell phone out you're texting and the bus door opens and boom you just got your cell snatched out your hands from a local teen punk because he/she was eyeing you the whole bus ride, all they need is a window of opportunity or in a case like this one a door and it's a wrap. I witnessed this once on E. Charleston Blvd across from 29th St
This is why I still have and use my Blackberry Classic. I love it and no one wants it...perfect storm!
very informatative
Jacob you approaching 50k subs!! You should do a special video stream
We were on Freemont by the White Castles after getting some food there and standing at the intersection. My wife was about 30 feet in front of me. She was waiting for the light to turn and walk up Freemont. I noticed that there were 2 "gentlemen" to her left about 10-12 ft away and on "gentleman" to her right. Her handbag was over her right shoulder hanging to her left side. The guy to the right was acting too casual and the guys to the right were acting stiff. the guy to the right was looking back over his shoulder and incidentally made eye contact with me. I then shook my head like "Don't even try it". He then looked directly at the other two guys and they all took off walking in opposite directions. I am pretty sure it was a set up to rob my wife that I thwarted. My heart was pounding as we are from a state that recognizes my concealed carry permit and I don't leave home without it.
We were just at the Strat for a week, in the beginning of July. The Strat itself is great, but I can definitely attest to the sketchiness of the area behind it. (Had no idea it was called Naked City, though, haha.)
There's these weird blocks of homes and apartment buildings that reminded me of the way Compton always looks in movies. We walked to the 7-11 and there was a pack of four or five angry-seeming homeless people just chilling in the parking lot, watching us going in and out.
I've lived in Philadelphia all my life, definitely a rougher city than Vegas, so I know to be alert, and neither me nor my girlfriend were really giving off a wide-eyed touristy type vibe. But yeah, some couple from the Midwest or something, not used to sketch areas, maybe skip the strolls through "Naked City," haha.
Even the Strip itself that far down (or is it up?) is kind of sketch. Standing right outside the hotel, on the Strip side, there were definitely some creeps and junks out. Again, I LOVED the Strat itself (we stayed at Bally's last time, and I actually think the Strat is way cooler) but it's in a weird area. It's just a bit more lonesome than the other areas. We went to that Carl's Jr across the street one night, to try and save money. Man, was that a grim scene. It felt like North Philly.
Nice hotel, the tower is amazing, but for the most part, when you're going out for the evening, you're probably gonna want to catch a Lyft to around the Caesar's area or someplace.
Edit: and to be fair, stuff can pop off ANYWHERE. Just keep your wits about you. And if you're older, maybe stay out of the "neighborhoods" after dark. But Vegas is a great city, and some of the coolest places we went weren't on the Strip.
We had breakfast at this place Makers&Finders in what they call the Summerlin area. That whole area is cool as hell; a bit sketchy, but very cool. Maybe don't go wandering around in that area at night, but I liked it around there. A totally different vibe than the Strip.
You are rocking that ski mask in the thumbnail Jacob! Lol Keep that in mind for the next Halloween party. Simple yet effective!
great job
Good video.
Been fortunate to enjoy many wonderful stays in Vegas and the best tip that I could give to someone visiting the town is too bring your common sense and have a good safe time. Too many people go to Vegas and just lose all sense of caution and reality. Just like ANY other city if you are not mindful of your whereabouts and surroundings you will fall victim to bad situations
No. 3 reason: Your'e CANADIAN! Hello Say Hi To Matthew! LOL
evancortez2 LOL
watch those Canadians, they're always willing to get into a hockey fight !!
@@MrManfly I like to listen to Anne Murray, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Gordon Lightfoot, Michael Buble, Diana Krall, Shania Twain, Alana Miles, they are Canadian singers.
The one arm bandit always robs me.
Groovy. All true - but pretty much applicable in any city.
Hey Jacob, been watching your videos since I was living in New York. I moved to Vegas in 2018 and still love watching your videos. You are a great entertainer and Keep up the good job.
The bonus 1 is so true
Killing it !!!
excellent vid
I stay relatively safe by avoiding the over-hyped, expensive, crowded strip; it is strictly locals (Henderson) casinos for me.
Great advice, with Rodeo Nationals in town I hope everyone paid attention.
It must be their first rodeo. LOL
Very good. I tell you another one,I was a CAT Bus Driver for two years back in the day and 'crooks/bums' would sell tourists expired Bus transfers for a discount from what it cost to drive down the Strip per CAT fare.
Smart video idea!! I’m always having to remind myself to keep my phone in my front pocket. Regardless of the city!! Good thinking on the Canadian one!
Keep your stuff@home & locked up.
Parking fees and long trips sightseeing on a taxi fair.
Man, I miss Vegas of the 80s.
This is common knowledge to know anywhere.
Yeah this idiot didnt even cover one of the biggest reason you'd get robbed in Vegas... picking up a prostitute and they drug you or pull a weapon on you then you wake up empty handed
I thought you were going to count down to the resort fees 😂😂😂
That Chucky was scary in this video lol
5 reason I got rubbed in Las Vegas
1.resort fees
2. casino games
3.taxis or parking
4.drink prices
5.restaurants
wait a minute... if you got "rubbed" it was probably by one of those "self-employed models."
(Yuk, Yuk, yuk)
I keep my Glock 43X in my front pocket and my phone and wallet in the other
THANKS for the advice . go to know
Whenever I go to Vegas.. I usually hangout near LVB and Owens lol
If you find yourself in the wrong or sketchy area it's important to carry yourself like a non tourist. Even if you're lost don't act like you know where you're going and walk into the nearest store and ask an employee there for directions.
Most important thing for first timers; don't look lost keep your head focused on where your going when your feet stop moving and your head swivels the cat calls and "hey buds" start coming, and multiple armanian taxi drivers pull up and start pitching "clean girls, and cheap drugs". I was 19 and it was certainly an eye opener for me and the white gated community i was raised in, talk about jumping in the deep end.
#1 Reason you got robbed in Las Vegas: You went to Las Vegas, fool!
taxi driver robbed me of $100 in vegas last april. dudes name was "maru".
Never take taxis. They're crooks anywhere in the world. Uber. Always.
Why do u pick traffic or airport as background?
Getting a locking purse is the best investment! Get one and use it!
Good idea!
Escorts target really drunk guys. 6am in the morning walking through the Cosmopolitan completely sober to get breakfast at Subway- I see a preppy well dressed completely shit faced white guy walking hammered with a completely sober black escort tailing him heading to Vesper bar. It was like watching the nature channel - wounded gazelle being hunter by a lion. When I walked back through the Cosmopolitan with my subs, the 2 of them are walking back to Chandelier bar and he's tell her my wallet is missing while she tagging beside him.
What would you do? Intervene?
@Dalai Lama I know Vegas. Been there many times. Escorts come out especially between 1am and 4am and are in for the kill. It's pretty easy to spot them.
I've been approached enough times to know their script - ask what do you do for work. They assess you and if ask them they say they are a dancer... and say lines like "so are you going to take care of me - show me a good time. Usually say they have one kid.
They must be trained by their pimp.
Here's something you wouldn't expect me to say - when I know she is an escort- I have zero interest but I tell her "I'm going to tell you the most important thing you're ever going to hear - the most important thing in life is that you ask Jesus into your heart - I want YOU to go to heaven". I mean it too. Some just walk away but a couple start to cry. For some reason escorts have that effect on me. While I don't say that to others that I care about which I should.
His loSS! DaMm fooL! He shoulda known beTTeR! SuCKs!
Somebody tried the ol' "hey bud" on me to turn around walking in between Treasure Island and The Mirage in back in August 19,' I just kept walking like I didnt hear him knowing my Gerber knife is at my right hand and that I wasn't dumb or docile.......he gave up after three "hey bud"s. So yes this does go on, maybe you can touch on the areas from the Bellagio to Treasure Island which by crime indicators point to a hot spot here.
One of those hawkers between the casino slipped my iphone headphones off my shoulders when telling me about his CD and offering it to me for free.. then asked for five bucks as I heanded it back ..it happened.. in a minute I realized it and he was off... I don't like Vegas because of the hawkers/beggers/sales ppl between the casinos
