first time in vegas - stay on the strip - it must be experienced. Take the Deuce (double decker bus) downtown to Fremont St. - best gambling for low-rollers is downtown - walk to the El Cortez for good cheap blackjack and craps. On the strip is Casino Royale or O’Shea’s (across from the Mirage.
You don’t need a car if it’s first time in vegas. If you must have a car and venture off - try these places:
Crown and Anchor Pub on East Tropicana (a real British pub)
Double Down Saloon (south of Hard Rock Cafe) - a real punk bar.
Silverton - South on Las Vegas Blvd - a locals favorite casino and good food with a Bass Pro Shop

I wonder if there’s a discount on that $17,000 time share sales pitch i got about five years ago? I might be interested if it’s only a couple grand now.
