Tips & Warnings

• You have to be 21 to even walk through the casinos. Make sure you and all your pals are old enough to enjoy this type of fun. Beware of the extremely hot temperatures in Las Vegas during the summer. If possible, travel during the winter or fall.
• Don't gamble more than you can afford. In fact, some people leave the credit cards and checkbook at their hotel and gamble with a designated amount of cash at a different hotel.
