Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!


So you're planning a trip to Las Vegas. Perhaps you have been here many times, or you may be a VEGAS VIRGIN!!! What fun to be deflowered in Sin City!

I have plenty of advice for the newbies, and the old-timers might enjoy my tips as well.
One of the most obvious, but least heeded is to stay hydrated. This is a desert! It may not always be hot (we can experience snow flurries in the winter) or dry (monsoon season is no joke) but it is still a challenge to keep your liquid levels in balance.
Of course you'll be drinking plenty of alcohol (remember to always tip your cocktail waitress -- $1 per drink is standard) but I recommend always keeping a bottle of water handy as well. If you're on a gambling jag, ordering a bottle of water every other drink is a good rule of thumb.
Drinking water before going to bed is a handy way to fend off a hangover.
As simple as this seems, for whatever reason, you'll still see plenty of tourists staggering around with yard long margaritas who will surely suffer for their sins.
