Nevada or Vegas? Vegas is arguably the biggest most intriguing international city in the world. There are just as many different languages spoken here than New York City & L.A. Its sad that Vegas has a stereotype of hookers n blow & crime. Its a beautiful city. When I moved here I thought I would never last because of those same stereotypes I bought into. The city is a part of me now no matter where I live in the future. Its taught me so much about the world & the peoplethat inhabit it. I see it in a different light than most people. I'm blessed to have been able to survive in this city & know it for what it truly is. Its an awesome city. And John Fogerty lives here too making it even more awesome.

Its a beautiful city.

It's a wretched sweaty shithole in the middle of a desert with HIV.

Agree 100%. Having been born and raised here, Vegas will forever be a part of me.

Unfortunately, most of America views Vegas as this ^. What's even worse is that most of the people who shittalk Vegas, probably live in an even more undesirable place to live.

Here's what others are saying

Strip visitors should know that they are obviously tourists and avoid places where they can be taken advantage of. They become a target automatically when they step out of populated areas.

Strip visitors should not explore the city alone. You are a visitor and, therefore, an obvious and easy target for criminals who see you as prey.

Visitors who plan to get drunk should do so in their own hotel. It may save your life or the life of another and will prevent you from being taken advantage of.

I've lived in Vegas for a year now and feel I can share a little bit of what I've learned. No matter where you are in the city you really need to be vigilant, as crime can happen anywhere.

Don't go down the alleys or side streets as a lot of drug deals etc happen there. Also be alert in the parking garages. Once you get past the Encore casino heading north, you should be extra cautious.. between there and the Stratosphere is more dangerous. If you're planning on visiting Fremont Street and downtown, be very cautious and stick to the boulevard. Stay where there are lots of people. Downtown is a very scary place, especially at night.

As far as other areas besides the strip and downtown, I know the area around the air force base is dangerous and the area of Martin Luther King Blvd between Cheyenne and the I-15 has a lot of shady neighborhoods. North Las Vegas definitely has it's share of run-down neighborhoods but they're mostly as you get closer to downtown going south.

I generally follow this as a rule of thumb, no matter what city I happen to be in. For sure in Vegas, stay away from any streets that are numbered or lettered. (i.e. 1st street, 2nd street, A street, B street, etc....) Numbered and lettered streets marks, obviously, the oldest part of town and is usually, therefore, the bad part. I've had to drive through these areas before and might as well have has a neon sign asking to be the victim of a drive-by... I wasn't, but driving through that area was one of the most nervous, scary experiences of my life. JUST STAY ON THE STRIP.

As fun and exciting Las Vegas may be to many. There are many areas you need to always be aware of. Vegas has tried to make this area as safe as they can, but you need to be responsible for your own safety too. Fremont Street is exciting and fun, but I would recommend you stay within the confines of the main strip. When myself and my hubby ventured along Fremont street enjoying the Neon Displays they had along in the middle of the street, it was sort of outside the confines of the main area and we were a little uncomfortable. Although, we did not encure any trouble, but just something to think about. You should always keep that in mind even when in the parking garages on Fremont Street and the Las Vegas Strip.

Stay in lighted areas and do not wonder off in areas you are not familiar with

Be careful about getting ripped of for drinks in caisno bars and clubs.
Most of these places will let you in for free but when you get to the bar they'll fleece you and take the shirt off your back.
One example is the House of Blues bar in Mandalay bay casino. Now I'm not talking about the HOB club/venue itself but the bar right next to it where they have a little stage at the front, some seating/stools and a bar at the back.Beer not so bad ($7/8) but we ordered a Red Bull & Vodka and got hit for 16 dollars! Also the bar girl was a real misery, spilled our beer all over bar wehn she slammed it down and could have turned the milk sour with her face when we refused to budge until she gave us another. Silly girl!

At night avoid the side where the Flamingo is I was approached by a very disrespectful young man and it took a lot for me not to slap the spit out of him. For some reason that side of the street has a lot of hustlers. Even in the daytime some of the salesman over on that side of the street were very rude. They call people names and make fun of them if they don't buy what they are selling.

Every Casino club I have been to has closed early to push people into the casino. Personally I want to stay till the party is dead. Also there is no love at those places; all they want is to drive people in the cattle.

The stratosphere is a tall resort that many are too scared to check out the observatory up top. If that's not enough, they have a gang named gurson park kings(G.P.K) that dwell up here . The tourists that come from anywhere but the west don't usually deal with gangs like talking about so this is for you.They throw ,on average, 2 to 3 people off,per day this 1100 ft. structure to their deaths.Right before they do it ,witnesses hear a lion roar which is their gang calling and then they say,"that was a lion ,not a cough, just take this guy and throw him off". Sounds weird but if you hear this while up there.Look around if their looking at you,,,,if they are...you might as well jump off yourself but be sure to sing Van Halen's"jump" while you go down. I did!!!!It goes "aw cant ya see me standin here i got my back against the rackin machine ,i eat the worst things you've seen , aw cant ya see what i meannnnn.Aw, might as well jump,JUMP

Pittman. If you like living ,don't sightsee here

North Las Vegas- North of downtown- is probably the worst place in Vegas. Or al least it was when I lived there. There's NOTHING to see there so just don't go! That's where most of the gang activity occurs in the city and the most violence.

Keep clear of Simba's den in the Casino area of MGM

Unless you have a car...I wouldn't venture on the side streets of the Strip in the middle of the night. There are some seedy gang members, prostitutes and beggars all over the place...

Be careful not to go into the 'dark' areas around and behind the hotels.

PICKPOCKETS in crowded casinos. Don't wander around Downtown Vegas after dark, some of it is quite seedy & there are a few 'iffy' characters hanging about.

What was the purpose of posting the individual thoughts of the paranoid? You should be vigilant whenever you are in a big city. I act no differently in Las Vegas walking the streets than I do in Chicago or L.A.

Oh noez Vegas has crime!!
