Street Hustlers / Cabbie Kickbacks: Your own Ego

  • Basically realize that anything that sounds 'Too Good to Be True' - IS! You will get offered various scams by various people during your stay, and hawkers on the street will constantly try to stop you or put flyers into your hands. If you are egotistical enough to think you are somehow 'special' to them, and will win whatever they are offering, you will get taken. Realize you are the 400,000th tourist they have spoken to that day, one of many there who they will try to con in Vegas. No need to spend it on really wasteful rubbish like street scam artists who will only leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

    At Least Do This: Can't be made bearable.
    Alternative: Walk past them or pretend you don't speak English.

     Yes, I agree with you. The Paris Buffet is my number one pick for best food at the price in Vegas. We like to go for late breakfast.Excellent. The line is long, but be patient!

     Awesome, I climbed Dark Shadows when I was there too, such a great climb. Did you go all the way up, or stop at the roof?
