    I’ve been to Vegas 5 times in the last 20 years. I’ve noticed a significant decline during my last visit in 2022. There are so many homeless cracked out people on the strip it’s unbelievable. It would be one thing if they were just sitting there with a sign asking for money but they are engaging with people and acting angry and violent. There is a complete lack of police and security out on the sidewalks and bridges. The casinos don’t care what goes on outside. You can smell weed all over. I was shocked how many people I saw bring kids there

    Thank you for the video. As a resident of Vegas for the last 26 years, I have seen a lot. Vegas has always had a crime element like most cities. When I moved here downtown was no-go zone. The Fremont Street Experience hadn't been developed and the majority of the homeless population was in this area. Once redevelopment began downtown, the homeless population spread out to other parts of the valley including the underground tunnels ( Vegas version of skid row). I've seen all facets of crime, but before social media, Vegas had control of the narrative. You didn't hear much about crime once the corporate entities took control and the city was marketed to families. They no longer have control, and now you are seeing the underbelly. To add to the safety tips, ladies please be careful within the hotel/casino space. People will take advantage if they see you are not in full control. This element also goes under-reported.

    I’ve been to Vegas many times solo and always feel safe. That being said, I don’t venture off the beaten path. When solo I try to walk near groups so it’s not obvious that I am alone. If I am enjoying some cocktails I will stay at my home casino so I don’t have to walk outside, especially at night. I appreciate the great advice that you share on your channels. Even though I have been there many times over the years I always learn something new or discover a hidden gem because of you two. As always, great job!

      My son was last year in Vegas with buddies, so they went to sleep and he was loitering there in the middle of the night alone filming for me, he said he felt safe because there were people everywhere. He was walking the strip of course. I preferred to enjoy fountain view from my room in Bellagio. Safe and clean. Nothing to see in Vegas - all shabby and dirty

    I've lived in Vegas since 97 and they are right on a lot of things however I wanted to just add my 2 cents for anyone thinking of visiting. Stay on the strip anywhere from mandalay bay to the sahara. If your thinking of going to downtown just get an uber or drive there. Don't pass the strat, once u pass it it gets very sketchy. Remember from mandalay bay to sahara is ok once you pass sahara its a whole different thing. Walk during the day and try not to be alone at night.

    Like everywhere in the world, you will have some area that you don't want to go to even in daylight. I lived in Vegas for 20 years, I got robbed once in front of my office. But most people would have their homes burglarized, and cars broken into, or robbed outside the casinos. You cannot be careful enough, it is life and if you are robbed, let go of whatever they want and run for your life. You cannot buy your life back. Period. Be safe. I had enough of Vegas and I just left for good.

    There are good and bad neighborhoods just about everywhere. Educate yourself and ask questions. Videos like this are very helpful. I've definitely had some sketchy moments walking in Las Vegas and all of them were at night. I caught the tail end of the mob run era in sin city and I feel like it was safer back then. Those were different times but I feel as if they would not have tolerated so much homelessness. Sure there was crime, but for the average visitor just trying to have a good time it felt safe and definitely more glamorous.

    Was once held up at gun point walking from the Westgate to LV BLVD., a distance of one very long block. I was traveling alone in the middle of the day and the robber pulled up in a car, waved me over as if he wanted to ask me something. I hesitated because it didn't feel right. When I did, the criminal, a very young Latino driving a very old compact car, produced a hand gun from under the passenger seat cushion and pointed it right at me. I stared right down the barrel. His aim was perfect. Had he pulled the trigger, he would have shot me in the face. In that instant I turned and ran in the direction of the Strip. The criminal gave no pursuit and I ducked into the nearest business, the still-existing Riviera Hotel and Casino.
    Every crime is a crime of opportunity; Las Vegas is a target-rich environment for criminals.

    I lived in Vegas in the 90s and went to college after leaving the USMC. My parents retired there so I chose UNLV because I could hang with them after 12 years in the military. I moved away in '96 and moved back ten years later after my dad passed. I needed to be close to my mom. I got there and the housing market collapsed. There was no work to be found. I finally got a job working at a mini-mart / laundry matt. People ripped that place off blind. They guy who I replaced had been shot in the head outside the store. It was his fault - he sold a dude some fake drugs and when the guy came back he began to fight with him and the guys friend shot him. It was close to UNLV but the place was dangerous at night with heroin addicts, crack heads, and tweakers. The crack heads would come in to steal and then forget why they came into the store before they could steal anything. The tweakers would stay up all night plotting their theft and were the most dangerous. People trying to pass counterfeit bills, etc.
    I moved to Naked City, the neighborhood behind the Stratosphere. It used to be the place where people went to find drugs and prostitutes and is in-between the Black and Hispanic gang turfs. It is a dangerous place at night. I got a job at the Seven Eleven behind the Strat. "Someone got shot in the face on the corner" or "They found another body in the dumpster" and other comments were common when you came into work. On one occasion I kicked out a guy selling crack, a hooker and her john, and a homeless dude pissing in the phone booth at one time, all in front of the store. I saw women who were owned by gangs - they owed them money for drugs and then got prostituted until they paid off their debt. Gang members would walk them to their appointments. They would be around for a few weeks, steadily going down hill and then they would disappear. You learned to believe only half of what you hear and repeat none of it. There was a girl driving a brand new Cadillac Esplanade cruisin' with two friends. They were tweaking and would stop in every few hours to refill their drinks. They were up for several days straight. Eventually, she was hooking to get money and her friends were gone. The gangs got ahold of her and the Cadillac was gone.. They passed her around for a week or two until she was cooked.
    I lived in a small one bedroom on Boston Street. They remodeled the old building next door. Some guy was living there, supposedly keeping an eye on the place during the renovation. One morning I woke up and the whole building was burnt down. They said the fire dept was there in the night but I had slept through it. The guy watching the place had started a fire and burnt the place down. A week later they found a burnt corpse in the building. It was likely that the fire was a coverup for a murder. I worked the swing shift at the 7/11 and talked to the driver who did the deliveries. I looked at his clip board and laughed. "you have a dangerous route" I said to him as I saw the other stores he delivered to, like the ones on Desert Inn. He said he stopped and prayed every night before going to one on DI. They frequently had shoot-outs in the parking lot and other crime going on around there.
    There were a lot of people who moved to Vegas from LA and they brought the gang stuff with them, once the mob was gone. It is a seedy place with a lot of drugs, gang violence, hookers, homeless and thieves. My mom passed in 2011 and I left town in 2012. Vegas in the 70s was cheesy. In the 80s it was great. In the 90s it was still cool. In the 2000s it became overwhelmed by homeless panhandlers, pickpockets, and criminals. Now it is an expensive nightmare.

      @aja r Flamingo didn't look too bad because there was always someone walking there and there's lights on the street. Just watch out for the corner of Koval and Flamingo because there was a couple of homeless people talking to themselves and it looks like one of the typical spots where they hang out. Definitely stay off Koval. Also try to stay on the north side of Flamingo because you can always escape into the Westin if needed.

    I've always felt pretty safe in Vegas, definitely felt a bit more run down at Fremont last year and agree much more homeless on the strip. Noticed more homeless going into casinos hunting for the tito's now they've done away with change at the machines.
    Still enjoy it there, will likely be back there in September.

    They get creative by robbing you without you knowing it. You’ve just checked in your hotel and walking alongside the Las Vegas Blvd thinking you are safe. Not realizing you’ve just been robbed by their resort fees.
    And when you get tired walking and sit in front of the slot machine, they rob you for a second time without you knowing it.

      I stayed at the Strat last month. I often went to Denny's or IHOP for a late night Snack. I never felt unsafe. I was asked for some change 2 times. No big Deal. I always had some quarters in my pocket, so I didn't have to pull out my wallet. Don't leave the Strip in that area even in daytime, and you'll be fine.

    I have never had a problem..but the sketchy area we encounter last trip was going from the Strat the Capriotti's on Sahara. The BF a former Vegas resident was pretty comfy walking past the abandoned apts…me not so much. We did however see a few homeless individuals hang in a bus stop on Koval. No problem except a women wobbled off the sidewalk into the street right in the path of our car. Lucky we swerved & missed her. And lucky for her too. Common sense is key when traveling.

  • @WilfBond55

    One walk I made in 2021 that I probably won't make again was from downtown to the Neon Museum. Don't get me wrong, the museum itself is INCREDIBLE, especially if you're into the history of the town, but man, the walk there was from Sketchy Central. I took an Uber back to my hotel, especially since it was dark after my tour of the museum. Museum? Great. The area near it? Not so good.

    • @claudiamiller7730
      @claudiamiller7730 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Did the same thing but during the afternoon. Single Senior adventurous female…but not stupid. The problem with that walk is that once you start..you’re committed. You either have to quit and walk BACK downtown, carry on or hang around at a bus stop corner and wait for a CATS bus to MAYBE come down the road. Poor options…just take the gosh darn UBER and be done with it!

    Basically fresh out of highschool I threw myself into Las Vegas in 2004, and just got the cheapest rent I could find. I wound up in a really dangerous neighborhood in the north side and my car was broken into twice in 3 months. For context I moved from Tennessee at the time lol. There are some areas that cleaned up and some that didn't. Tourists never go to that side of town so it probably is not an issue... but if you rent a car and want to explore way out it is something to be aware of.

    Thanks to both of you for bringing the real side of our beautiful dirty! I have lived in Las Vegas for over 28 years now, I moved here in 1992 and inspite of working on or near the Strip, I have never had a time that I felt in danger. At least no more in danger than when I have traveled to other large cities in the US! Vegas has so much to offer in entertainment value plus so many of our best places are nestled in close proximity to each other and that’s why years ago the local young people would cruse the Strip for a fun weekend evening out to enjoy the energy of our visitors having fun.The energy of Las Vegas can be very addicting, so if you come to visit for the first time, don’ forget to sign up as a member of your favorite casino’s Layers club and earn credits for discounts on your next visit. Trust me, you will want to come back again because there are so many beautiful places thst surround o ur city, not just the famous Strip! After moving to Vegas so many years ago from upstate NY, my friends from back home would innocentlybas k me if I lived on the strip! That’s when I realize zed that most people in general don’t even know about all special hidden gems, like beautiful parks and natural mini desert hiking trails that offer a cool mid-morning hike with incredible mountain and city views. Mt. charleston generally runs 10 degrees cooler even our summer months when ithe heat certainly can be blistering at above 100 degrees F.based on my personal experience, I would prefer 100 degrees of low humidity to over the below zero temps of upstate NY, not even factoring in the wind chill thst freezes even your nose hairs just from breathing in! Lol. We love and appreciate all of our visitors. I invite you all personally to be quests in Vegas whenever you are feeling cold in some other state! We will be waiting to greet you and show you what a fun vacation really feels like! Namaste, Paula in Las Vegas 🥰

    I've been to Vegas numerous times off and on since 2008 and a few times solo and I'm a woman. I've never had issues. Once a friend did have a homeless person yell at her in her face but she may have been mentally ill and she ending up walking off. That was the only odd thing I personally seen in my many years of traveling there. I will say use common sense, don't be confrontational, stay away from dark side streets just like with any other major city. Danger is everywhere and sometimes can't be avoided so I do not think Vegas is an unsafe destination in comparison to other major cities.

    Very well made video, I have lived in Vegas for probably 15 years now and I agree with what you said. From a local I would say:
    Number 1 avoid the tunnels, there is nothing good that comes from entering them. Just stay as far from them as possible not worth the risk.
    Downtown just stay under the canapé and no further than the container park. There is a couple very cool local dive restaurants past container part but if your not used to the area just drive if you go. I love supporting small businesses but if you get lost there’s some sketchy parts.
    Naked City has made a complete 180, what was once a high crime violent area known for drugs and guns has really become a okay neighborhood. Mostly lower middle class to lower income and a lot of the artists and hipsters reside there because of the proximity to the arts district. That said there’s not a lot for tourists and better doesn’t equal safe. There’s a few things worth doing in that area but only go during the day.
    Avoid trying to walk north of the Strat, Downtown is much further than it looks and if you take the wrong fork you’ll miss it entirely. Areas not terrible but it’s not great.
    Finally no reason a tourist would ever be in these areas but avoid the Formaster area and pretty much anything outside Jerry’s Nugget and Silver Nugget; they are both neat classic casinos and your much more likely to play the locals population but drive in and away if you go.
    Finally, and I feel like you would have to intend to be here it’s not something you would stumble onto, avoid the areas with a letter for the street name (I.e. D street) and south of MLK. It’s reputation is deserved and there is nothing to see anyways.
    Keep up the great work guys even from a locals perspective your advice is sound and accurate.

Two really scary looking homeless dudes and one was holding a piece of rebar. The other was acting as a lookout, presumably. They were up to no good, the bad vibe was STRONG.
