Agree about the Timeshare Sales guys! We own 2 timeshares and have only stayed in a Las Vegas Timeshare every stay since 2002 and every time WE get hit with an invite to the "Owners Meetings" which is code word for sales presentation. We did it once in Las Vegas (got free tickets to TWO shows) but never again!!!!
A good tip is the people that are selling bottled water on the strip for a couple of bucks. We have found that the water is not spring water, its tap water and the bottles are not sealed properly.
You two nailed this video. The scams are so bad we have no desire to return to Vegas anytime soon. Here's one I would like to add. About 1.5 years ago we came into town to celebrate my wife's birthday with a Lady Gaga show and dinner. I ordered a bourbon at the resort steak house. When I got my bill the cost of the drink was $3.00 higher than advertised. I questioned the server about the discrepancy and he stated the three dollar charge was for the ice cube, no joke! Vegas has become a huge money pit with ridiculous charges and fees. Thank you for your hard work and educating folks on these scams!
Pretty sad it's gotten to the point your being warned about 21 scams in Vegas. Especially pertaining to the casinos. Their greed has gotten ridiculous.
Just as an aside in regard to split-staying: every hotel I’ve stayed at in Vegas has allowed me store my luggage with their concierge until check-in time. Just ask them to hold onto it and they’ll give you a ticket to pick it up later at check-time in.
Don’t take a taxi. RENT A CAR!!! You can get ‘em fairly inexpensively 29-32$ a day. BTW sometimes the Uber driver blows you off or doesn’t know the pick up point…the one at Harrah’s is in an odd place.
My wife got in to it BAD with the Vegas sign photographer ! Our cab driver (cool guy) was taking pics for us, but sign dude also took pics of us. Then started wanting payment. We told him "no thank you" several times, but he wasn't having it. Then, my 5' tall wife had enough and went off on him in front of everyone there. He pouted and left, but not before telling me I married a "bitch". I told him I knew, cause he just got bitch-slapped by her lol.
I've been to Vegas many, many times (being from LA) but back when I was a Vegas Virgin, I got sucked into a time share presentation. They held us hostage for 4 hours, got incredibly rude when we declined, then refused to give us a ride back to where they picked us up from. We ended up abandoned near Summerlin with a hungry 7 year old. Ended up paying for a taxi, in which the driver was well aware of the time share hustle, and charged us $70 for a ride back to Mandalay. Total scam all the way around. And important thing to remember about Vegas, it's not just the casinos that are after your money. Everyone, everywhere is. Stay on guard, do your research, never be afraid to say "NO." Otherwise, Vegas is a great place! I'm moving there myself shortly.
@@cinkmoot2months later, but the one presentation I went to (yeah my bad), you have to stay for the entire presentation or you get charged full price of the hotel or whatever else they gave you in return.
I was forced to live in LV 1996 to 1999 by my now deceased husband. While there I had my wallet stolen out of my purse in a shopping cart. Had my home broken into, jewelry stolen. I asked someone at the newspaper why they did not publish the robberies and thefts in LV. daily. I was told, 'if they did it would fill 2 pages of the newspapers every day,' I kid you not!
Thanks for this video. I could feel my blood pressure going up as I remember all the rip offs I’ve had in Las Vegas. I’ll try to do better avoiding them.
4 Queens in Freemont Treated me real good. They held my Luggage FREE until I could check in. The Onoy bad thing was that the City of Las Vegas Allows LOUD Drummers at 1,2,3, AM You Can't sleep. So Sad
Great video! We visit Vegas 2-3 times a year and always follow the comps to make it more affordable. Good info for those newer to Vegas, you are both delightful 😊

Wow! Such a great video. Pleasant, informative, clear, concise and enjoyable. I've always wanted to experience Vegas. Even without me going anytime soon, I 100% appreciate seeing videos like this. Well Done.
Y’all seem like really chill people. The type you hope to run into while drinking in a bar cuz you know if you do that your night will be so much better.
Quite a shame how Vegas has evolved over the years. First trip was in 1995 -- Well after LV's 70's heyday -- but you could still get a steak and lobster tail dinner for $6 at the Stardust, and similar deals up and down the strip. They were loss leaders for which they'd more than make back via the one-arm bandits. I visited a few more times up until about 5 years ago. There were a handful of hotels with no resort fees, now they all pretty much seem to have them, and many are over $40 per night! Then to find out in many cases that resort fee doesn't even cover access to the pool? Then all this nickel and diming for parking, early check-in, and on and on? It's become much more attractive to me to gamble at the nearest tribal casino or on cruise ships. The slots are tighter, and they usually don't provide free booze while you're playing. But I don't feel like I'm being extorted at every turn. Vegas has killed the golden goose.
Been there last month. Checked out from the Strat at 10 a.m. and drove to the Gold Coast. They didn't charge me for an early check-in. Just ask nicely. My german Credit Card didn't work, so i had to leave a 100$ Cash deposit. When i checked out the computer System crashed and they couldn't verify that i left a Cash deposit. They offered me to send me the money to germay. I never thought, they'd really do it. Had a check in the Mailbox 2 days ago. What a nice customer service.
Both times I have been to Vegas there were these guys selling eye cream. When my mom refused to buy their $2,000 eye cream they insulted and yelled at her, calling her poor. They were giving out samples in the shopping centers inside the casinos both times. I always tell people to not take anything from anyone. Even samples.
Yep I remember the eye cream......I let them put it on me and then told them I didnt notice a difference lol they wiped it off me and they were pissed lol
While taxis may be more expensive than Uber normally, surge pricing can make them competitive. This week I was at Resorts World looking for a ride to Flamingo. Both Uber and Lyft were at $10 and required walking to a remote pickup area. Taxi was 50' away and cost $12. Pickup at airport on Sunday morning to Flamingo was $28, while taxi flat rate is $30 and no waiting. I used Uber to airport Thursday afternoon and made the request while in the elevator at Flamingo. It's a bit of a walk to the pickup area and the driver arrived 1 minute before me. Bill had a 70 cent waiting fee applied along with a "booking" fee.
Thanks for sharing your experience, yes, very good point to watch out for surge pricing and any tacked on fees. We have contested unfounded waiting fees previously and had Uber remove them - this happened to us a lot in Mexico City, not so much in Las Vegas.
uber and lyft can be cheaper or more expensive. depends on what's going on and the amount of request vs the amount of drivers on the road or what type of event is going on ...if its busy they will surge...former gig driver
Also avoid getting pick pocketed by being aware of your surroundings while watching street performers. And don't put your purse in the chair next to you! Someone dropped some coins on the other side and when my Grandma picked them up, they took her purse. Another maybe scam is the frozen street performer with a sign to tip to start performance. They won't start unless you give them more than $20
Buldogis on the west side of Vegas Valley recently charged me a "take out" fee without disclosing it on their website, restaurant or when I ordered in person. They said it was for the paper... the food was terrible.
The Sugar Factory automatically adds 20 percent on your bill as a service charge. Then, it shows tip percentages and has a tip line. Many ppl tip twice not knowing the service charge is a tip. It's a very confusing bill
split-staying isnt that bad if you just drop your luggage with concierge in between your check out at one hotel, and check in time at the next. Same thing if you have a late flight and don't want to drag a suitcase around all day after you check out.
I was stunned when I heard about triple zero, 000, getting added to the wheel. I never play roulette, but it proves to me that those who do have no understanding about the basics of any gambling game. Adding another 0 kills the already slim chance of winning. It's amazing how people will accept the lower blackjack pay out and still go to the wheel.
This is very much the exception, but a street showgirl had a friend snap a pic of us without my consent. When I refused to pay her, she threatened to have me arrested. I threatened to have HER arrested. Again, I suspect that's very rare and I don't judge the rest of them by the actions of this aggressive scammer.
I just got back from Vegas 2 weeks ago and the Timeshare people backed off when I told them “i live in Henderson and work at (names a random business on the strip). The club promoters backed off when I told them “my flight leaves in a few hours”……
love your videos - you get through the points simply and quickly without unnecessary waffling and padding out of the videos (whilst not leaving out details so we dont know what you are talking about!). Were heading out there from UK in August for my 40th (my 4th Visit!) but others in the group will be first timers!
15 years ago just before the real estate crash, I did get sucked into going to a time share by a agent inside the Excalibur Hotel, $50 and free lunch buffets. As I visit Vegas on a regular basis, I thought I would go. It really wasn't with my time. But if I was really here on a special vacation I would be really pissed.
If you are military, or a veteran, you can get free parking at any Caesars or MGM property. Show a military ID, a VA ID, or a DD 214, and you will get a military players card which gives you comp parking.
Fix a price in advance if you want to get a picture taken with the feather girls. They really don’t have any right to charge you at all but if you really want the photo pay a realistic amount. If what they’re charging is too high just simply walk away…
The time share reps were so rude. We went in and told them flat out we are only here for the tickets and food vouchers. We just had gotten married and are starting our life together. So no we cant afford it. They had 3 different managers come to us at the end and try to flip us. They embarrassed and berated us, saying, Who cant afford $30.00 a month whats wrong with you its only 30.00 a month. Anyone can afford that. You're a waste of time.
Going to Vegas by definition is pricey. These basics will help newcomers because they're just logical. We always set aside one night/one really nice dinner ...knowing it will be expensive. Splurge...that's why you're there. If I fly in later/alone..I always use the van stand to my hotel...it was $9? Together, when you have a group..taxis are cheap when you split the fee. Yes Vegas is gouging now but you can always work around it...kinda like gambling...what you can afford to lose. Thanks again guys for the basics.
Taxi nowadays runs the FLAT RATE which could be cheaper than Rideshare which might have Surge charges added on… If your destination is Sarah/Strap which is only $28 as Uber/Lyft could be $36
That's why I use weeklies like budget suites or Siegel suites, they literally have 1 and 2 bedrooms, u just have to pay a week at a time. They're every where in Vegas 😆
The strat still has free self parking. They do free valet too just give them a $5 to $10 tip and they'll park your vehicle close to where they can keep an eye on it.
With the CNF fees if they are adding these onto your bill are you still expected to tip on top? And can you decline the fee? This is new to me, in Australia you know up front and only if service is good we wpuld tip.
I’ve been to Vegas plenty of times and the many times people dressed in character come up to me to get a photo before I could even pay is annoying. I don’t mind supporting them, but not if they’re gonna approach me like this. Also, the time share thing happens every time I go there. I just become pushier and shove them away.
Just turn it on them, and ask how much are they going to pay YOU to have their photo taken with you. Or say, "Aww you want a pic with me? That'll be $20.
The 'dynamic' pricing structure of hotels & restaurants. You not only have the variable rates that vary from weekdays to weekend. Take the buffet at MGM Grand as an example. A price jump of 25% for Fri/Sat/Sun. If that isn't bad enough, if you try to reserve a seat online they bump the price up to $52 per person. Then there is the insane prices come holidays & conventions. The whole place is now nothing more than a money pit that's designed & operated to fleece you for every single cent they can get.
Idk how the timeshares are these days. I went to one like 20 years ago and it wasn't that horrible. A couple hours of my time for a 3 night hotel stay was worth it to me. Yeah they are super pushy, you just cant take it personal.
One of my friends was a club promoter. Basically he was to get ladies into the clubs. There was a dearth of women in these clubs, he’d give you one of his cards and you’d get in without a cover.
Last Summer I did a hotel split, just because LA so spread out. I stayed 2 nights on Hollywood BLVD, and 2 nights in Koreatown. Las Vegas is not that big as far as most major cities go. So I just choose a hotel in a major location, especially Freemont Street. I stayed at El Cortez, but next time I´m going to stay in the Four Queens. There´s no BS resort fee, and I like that classic Rat Pack era vibe. I felt like an idiot, after ordering a slushy cocktail drinks, before asking about the price. It was $20 and up. It didn´t break my band, but I shouldn´t have expected 7/11 Slurpy prices. I was hanging around the bar until the guy that served me, told me I could walk around with it. It was a pleasant surprise, because I grew up in Virginia that has strict ABC laws.
if you are in a hotel or other location that only offers wired Internet access in your room, you can plug the Ethernet cable into the travel router and create a wireless connection that can be used for all of your WiFi-enabled devices.
I went to Vegas with friends one time, and because they grabbed the snacks in the hotel room just to look at them (and I got charged for them, the snacks were tasty at least) it was actually enough to bump up my card status for that year. So, thanks for $10 M&Ms and waters?? Lol.
There were soooo many of the timeshare people. I just said no thanks and moved on. My wife tried to stop and talk to them. I told her she could get one on her own but I was sticking around. They backed off 😅. Our Uber driver dropped us off and then popped up when we were headed to the airport. He said it would cost $50-$60 to get to the airport on Uber and we could just cashapp him the money. What he didn’t know was we already had an Uber for $12.90. Of course I reported him.
Prepay r/t transportation from airport to hotel. They will get you to the hotel. then you are supposed to call for return trip. Either no one answers the phone or you get an automated response that makes no sense and you can't provide all the information they want. You pay for r/t. They only provide one way ride.
Went to Alexxa right before New Years eve and I didn't see a CNF fee on our bill. I was well aware of it before we ate there so I was preparing myself to ask for it to be removed but I didn't see it on there. Might have been because our table split the checks.
They don't call it scam city for nothing. Vegas is fun if you are smart and not easily tempted to do stupid shit. That is not most people hence why they make so much money in that city. It's not that hard to part people from their money even if they have to take out loans to keep up their mindless spending. Just put up something that shines with a logo and people will fork over their money regardless of what it is.

Wrt split stay, you can go to the bell desk and leave it with them. We only have a bag or two each so $1 a bag in tips is only $3-4 and again when they bring it up to your room. $6-8 is chump change when you're spending $15-20 a person on a food court meal.
You might get approached by someone on the street to go to a strip club. They'll claim to comp your cover and give you a limo ride to the club. What they don't tell you is that the "limo ride" is shared with eight other random dudes. Then once you get there, while you don't pay a cover, it is a two drink minimum with each drink being around twenty some dollars which you'll pay up front and be given drink vouchers to use while you're there. The problem is that once the bartenders see that you're paying with them instead of cash, they ignore you because they assume you're not going to tip them well.

I had a long wait at the airport in Reno when Star Wars slots were about. Let’s just say “The Force” was with me! 😆
There is new legislation coming to regulate resort fee for all properties.
Congratulations on the 100k subs. 👏
Thanks! 😃
Fix a price in advance if you want to get a picture taken with the feather girls. They really don’t have any right to charge you at all but if you really want the photo pay a realistic amount. If what they’re charging is too high just simply walk away…
I enjoy this lol I go to Vegas often and usually show friends around; this video is a helpful intro to send out
The time share reps were so rude. We went in and told them flat out we are only here for the tickets and food vouchers. We just had gotten married and are starting our life together. So no we cant afford it.
They had 3 different managers come to us at the end and try to flip us. They embarrassed and berated us, saying, Who cant afford $30.00 a month whats wrong with you its only 30.00 a month. Anyone can afford that. You're a waste of time.
Your Weds dance 💃🏻 was amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣
Hey guys, thank for the video. We are visiting next month. Where is the sci-fi bar seen at 09:46?
The coin shortage tricked my boyfriend and I! He was ready to collect every random paper he saw with a change amount to make a full dollar 😭😭
Going to Vegas by definition is pricey. These basics will help newcomers because they're just logical. We always set aside one night/one really nice dinner ...knowing it will be expensive. Splurge...that's why you're there. If I fly in later/alone..I always use the van stand to my hotel...it was $9? Together, when you have a group..taxis are cheap when you split the fee. Yes Vegas is gouging now but you can always work around it...kinda like gambling...what you can afford to lose. Thanks again guys for the basics.
Going to Vegas at the end of the month (March 31st) and I appreciate knowing what to a avoid, thank you!
Tex Mex has a 18% fee that is not posted anywhere, it goes to owners not the staff. The food is not good either!
Thanks for sharing, sorry to learn about that!
I went in nov. 2022 and took pictures for so many families. It was honestly the best part of my trip
The "not giving your coins" when you cash out your ticket, happens everywhere now. Not just Vegas. I'm from Washington state and it happens here.
These are really good tip! Thank you!
Glad you found our video helpful, thanks!
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾❤️
Too much thinking. I like my mind to rest when I'am on vacation. This is harder than work.
Taxi nowadays runs the FLAT RATE which could be cheaper than Rideshare which might have Surge charges added on…
If your destination is Sarah/Strap which is only $28 as Uber/Lyft could be $36
This was super helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!!
That's why I use weeklies like budget suites or Siegel suites, they literally have 1 and 2 bedrooms, u just have to pay a week at a time. They're every where in Vegas 😆
thanks for sharing!!
and love that you guys are just as cool in person 😎 👍
Amazing
Thank you so much Tito, we really appreciate it!!
a lot of hotels will store your luggage if u get there before ur room is ready! i did this in new orleans
Congrats on hitting 100K
Great info.
3 Card Monty, the scourge of sailors, soldiers in my day. There should be a class in high school for scams.
The strat still has free self parking. They do free valet too just give them a $5 to $10 tip and they'll park your vehicle close to where they can keep an eye on it.
With the CNF fees if they are adding these onto your bill are you still expected to tip on top? And can you decline the fee? This is new to me, in Australia you know up front and only if service is good we wpuld tip.
I’ve been to Vegas plenty of times and the many times people dressed in character come up to me to get a photo before I could even pay is annoying. I don’t mind supporting them, but not if they’re gonna approach me like this. Also, the time share thing happens every time I go there. I just become pushier and shove them away.
Just turn it on them, and ask how much are they going to pay YOU to have their photo taken with you. Or say, "Aww you want a pic with me? That'll be $20.
I do that hotel test everytime using you two's method now.
The 'dynamic' pricing structure of hotels & restaurants. You not only have the variable rates that vary from weekdays to weekend. Take the buffet at MGM Grand as an example. A price jump of 25% for Fri/Sat/Sun. If that isn't bad enough, if you try to reserve a seat online they bump the price up to $52 per person. Then there is the insane prices come holidays & conventions.
The whole place is now nothing more than a money pit that's designed & operated to fleece you for every single cent they can get.
Idk how the timeshares are these days. I went to one like 20 years ago and it wasn't that horrible. A couple hours of my time for a 3 night hotel stay was worth it to me. Yeah they are super pushy, you just cant take it personal.
I love you guys so much !
Thanks Dawn!
One of my friends was a club promoter. Basically he was to get ladies into the clubs. There was a dearth of women in these clubs, he’d give you one of his cards and you’d get in without a cover.
Last Summer I did a hotel split, just because LA so spread out. I stayed 2 nights on Hollywood BLVD, and 2 nights in Koreatown. Las Vegas is not that big as far as most major cities go. So I just choose a hotel in a major location, especially Freemont Street. I stayed at El Cortez, but next time I´m going to stay in the Four Queens. There´s no BS resort fee, and I like that classic Rat Pack era vibe. I felt like an idiot, after ordering a slushy cocktail drinks, before asking about the price. It was $20 and up. It didn´t break my band, but I shouldn´t have expected 7/11 Slurpy prices. I was hanging around the bar until the guy that served me, told me I could walk around with it. It was a pleasant surprise, because I grew up in Virginia that has strict ABC laws.
Refuse to pay the CNFC fee. Ask for the general manager.
No one should visit Las Vegas until they see your videos❣️🥰 All the best tips are on this channel. 🙏🏻😍🤩
if you are in a hotel or other location that only offers wired Internet access in your room, you can plug the Ethernet cable into the travel router and create a wireless connection that can be used for all of your WiFi-enabled devices.
I will never again go there till they remove the resort fees
I went to Vegas with friends one time, and because they grabbed the snacks in the hotel room just to look at them (and I got charged for them, the snacks were tasty at least) it was actually enough to bump up my card status for that year. So, thanks for $10 M&Ms and waters?? Lol.
Wow, yes, those in-room snack setups are tempting and can add up quick! Congrats on your status bump lol!
Thank you so much for these tips. I learned a lot.
Resort fees are a scam.
There were soooo many of the timeshare people. I just said no thanks and moved on. My wife tried to stop and talk to them. I told her she could get one on her own but I was sticking around. They backed off 😅. Our Uber driver dropped us off and then popped up when we were headed to the airport. He said it would cost $50-$60 to get to the airport on Uber and we could just cashapp him the money. What he didn’t know was we already had an Uber for $12.90. Of course I reported him.
FYI, bottled water is usually tap water anyway. There are no laws governing that business.
Triple Zero roulette is racketeering!!!!!!
Pro tip: atms at casino royal are only $2
thanks for activating my Alexa, had to tell her to stop before it started yapping away! 🤣
🙌
Prepay r/t transportation from airport to hotel. They will get you to the hotel. then you are supposed to call for return trip. Either no one answers the phone or you get an automated response that makes no sense and you can't provide all the information they want. You pay for r/t. They only provide one way ride.
Good info I’m going in July 👌🏼💕
Do y’all have a video to combat the scams you mentioned
Why would anyone want to go to Vegas at all with all that crap ?
I’ll never stay somewhere with paid parking
Went to Alexxa right before New Years eve and I didn't see a CNF fee on our bill. I was well aware of it before we ate there so I was preparing myself to ask for it to be removed but I didn't see it on there. Might have been because our table split the checks.
Thanks for sharing.
They don't call it scam city for nothing. Vegas is fun if you are smart and not easily tempted to do stupid shit. That is not most people hence why they make so much money in that city. It's not that hard to part people from their money even if they have to take out loans to keep up their mindless spending. Just put up something that shines with a logo and people will fork over their money regardless of what it is.
thank you!
You're welcome!
05:29 You read my mind 🛒😂🤣😊

Wrt split stay, you can go to the bell desk and leave it with them. We only have a bag or two each so $1 a bag in tips is only $3-4 and again when they bring it up to your room. $6-8 is chump change when you're spending $15-20 a person on a food court meal.
I catch the bus when I leave the airport! 👍🏾👌🏾♦️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great video
Thanks!
You might get approached by someone on the street to go to a strip club. They'll claim to comp your cover and give you a limo ride to the club. What they don't tell you is that the "limo ride" is shared with eight other random dudes. Then once you get there, while you don't pay a cover, it is a two drink minimum with each drink being around twenty some dollars which you'll pay up front and be given drink vouchers to use while you're there. The problem is that once the bartenders see that you're paying with them instead of cash, they ignore you because they assume you're not going to tip them well.
I haven't been to Vegas in ten years.. is the treasure island outdoor show still happening..the one with the ships!
No
Triple zero roulette?!?!? That's legal? That's the biggest scam on this video.
Not only is it legal, triple zero roulette is very common now on the Strip!
@@TurnItUpWorld never saw... I have seen digital roulette! 😂 I mean, I don't know what one is worse... OMG... Digital triple zero roulette!!! Holy moly.
The mall has free parking too location across from the trump
