  • las vegas is one of the safest cities in the united states for tourists. however like many u.s. cities there are areas to avoid. when visiting fremont street downtown do not wander too far from the fremont street experience. fremont street has a visible police presence but tourist muggings are not uncommon in the area near fremont street. you can take the "duce" bus during the day from the strip to fremont street which is perfectly safe. however if you are at fremont street at night and need to leave the area i would suggest a taxi.

  • the south and central section of the strip is perfectly safe for tourists day and night. the north strip gets a little seedy around circus circus and the stratosphere area. i would not advise walking to downtown from the stratoshere after dark. las vegas offers a number of nice casino hotels off the strip. some examples are the hard rock casino, terribles, palace station, and the rio. because of las vegas' large alcoholic, drug addicted, and homeless population i would not advise walking to these casinos after dark. a taxi fare is cheap insurance to avoid getting mugged. from harahs on the strip they offer a shuttle to and from the rio.

  • snappers are people you try to hand you ads for escort services and strip clubs. they snap their advertising card to get your attention. these people are not dangerous but highly annoying. they line both sides of the strip from mandalay bay to the stratosphere. some can be aggressive. the best way to avoid them is not to make eye contact and move away from them when walking down the strip. the strip also has a number of beggars and street hustlers. again don't make eye contact and refuse to talk to them.
