And I would recommend driving around the city in a way that you dont get no tickets. It is easily doable, and it is worth it. Dont go 10 miles over the posted speed limit, and you are good! All cameras on the streets / freeways / intersections are watched / connected to police. They can do a lot these days, I think that they track license plate numbers too. Face recognition cameras, everywhere you go (all casinos, businesses, gas stations, malls, retail stores, all governement - it is all connected, I think).
Some people say that there are cameras in 95% of hotel rooms too. I would say that all the biggest casinos / casinos on the Strip have them, so be careful what you do...
Check them out too. I would not recommend as much as the other places (the ones that I've recommended before), but I would give them a try (greek salad + gyro)
And yes, dont gamble at all. I've never spent a single Cent on this, really.
Check out Lake Las Vegas area too. In general, drive around on all freeways around town, especially on the West side.
