Travelling with kids
Kids under 18 are not allowed in gaming areas
The pattern on the carpet in the casino walkways differs from the gaming areas. Kids are not allowed to cross this line.
Customs and culture
Book a Booth or Cabana at a nightclub or day club
Vegas day or nightlife venues don't let you sit unless you buy a table, daybed, or cabana. Get your group front of the line passes by booking your table ahead of time. It's typically a cost savings, and you will appreciate having somewhere to sit at some point during your partying.
