That is pretty universal. I would add before you step off the curb. Some People are so stupid, they think because a light says walk you don’t have to LOOK before you leap! We have all seen this; you are turning right on a red light and some idiot is hanging their toes off the curb waiting to bolt as soon has that light turns green! So you worry they will step right in front of you at any second. God bless you my fellow earthlings.

Again, being from NYC, crossing a street is sometimes like the Hunger Games. You don't have to be paranoid when you are out of town, but you do need to have a base level of situational awareness. Most of the time, the nighttime, most people are alright, but monsters are lurking.

spot on on the halls in the hotel towers. My last trip I was staying at NYNY and got to my floor and there was a guy in the elevator area once we got to the floor and once we got out he followed us. After a few rooms I made a comment to my GF that I wanted to hit the vending machines before we go to the room (in order to force him to confront me outside my room). She knew I saw something and went along. However we turned the corner and the housekeepers were there and he turned around as soon as he saw them. No clue what his plan was but he was up to something for sure.

Just got back from Vegas today after 8 nights. I go every year, stayed at Excalibur which is good for the kids and a fun casino atmosphere. You actually need a room card to head up the elevator and most security guards working shift stand in front of the elevator hallway and make sure you scan your room key before heading to elevators. We liked that because only people who actually staying there can go up. 🤙🏾

My wife and I were one car behind the front car at a red light one block south of Tropicana on the strip. I heard a loud bang. I thought it was a gun. Turned out it was a pedestrian who crossed against the light. My wife saw the whole thing and was pretty upset. The guy flew several feet and the SUV was really messed up. I saw in the news that he was in critical condition. Based on what we saw, I was shocked he was not DOA. By the way, this was mid-afternoon and absolutely perfect visual conditions for both the driver and pedestrian. By the way, the casinos do not want to help you with dealing with crime. It is not in their interest. They are not likely to produce a tape even if they have one.

Watch out for the crazy homeless. During the pandemic I stayed at the bellagio 2-2020. An ex cop was attacked by a homeless on the walkways and in the fall he hit his head and died. I’m sure mental illness was involved and this guy allowed this guy to get close. Homeless are sketchy.

It's so ironic that as you were talking about how to not get killed in Vegas there were people jay walking across the strip behind you 🤔🤣

Wow, thank you for the info. I go to Vegas one or two times a year. I’m very admit though, I’m very afraid about the parking garage at the hotel. I stay mostly at the trip though, but still most of the garage at the trip are looking so scary. Next time can you do the safe place to live in Vegas because I plane to live there when I’m retiring. Thank you

Why not utilize the valet? Drop your car off at the front door, pick up in the same area, and you don’t ever need to be in the garage. If you are a woman, traveling by yourself - stay out of parking garages as much as possible. Source: I am a private security consultant and crime analyst.

Most people think they don’t need training with a knife for self defense. But yes, you absolutely do. And be ready for a long bloody fight. Not the best tool for self defense for most people.

Fun fact from a CCW holder here in Las Vegas: You can bring your gun into any casino on the strip, while it is frowned upon after you know what happened, it is not illegal. They will ask you to leave, but there is absolutely no type of legal action they can take against you.

Funny story, my son rear ended someone on the strip because they cut him off to try and make it in a driveway. They played dumb with the cops… until the cops called and got the footage within 15 minutes! Real hard to prove no fault in a rear end situation… this was 100% Vegas cameras helping. Also this was during pandemic when everything was closed even

Never go walking outside of a strip casino in the very late evening/early morning hours. You really should stay in the casino at all times. If you must visit another casino either take a taxi to the front door or make sure it is a casino that is physically connected to the one you’re staying in. A good rule of thumb is: if you leave an air conditioned environment your risk just went way up.

Knives in general are terrible self defense weapons EXCEPT against animals. Against people, it's much more likely you will drop the knife very quickly and or the bad guy will take the knife from you and use it against you. If a gun is out of the question for whatever reason, PEPPER SPRAY/GEL is the best self defense weapon known to man. It is more painful than being tased, and civilian tasers aren't the same as police ones anyways. Pepper spray is easy to use, simply point and push the button, just make sure the wind isn't blowing towards you! Johnny Knoxville from jackass, a man who's tortured his body for decades, still to this day says being pepper sprayed by the cops was the most excruciatingly painful thing he's ever gone through. Total blindness and a burning all over your eyeballs and face that just doesn't go away until long after the threat was ended. Keep in mind Knoxville got famous for shooting himself with a revolver, point blank, into a bulletproof vest. He has been tased many times, burned, broken bones from falls, slams, etc. And he is still afraid of pepper spray.

That was a very informative video Jacob. This is a video everyone should watch who are coming to Las Vegas for the first time. Even for tourist ( like myself ) who have been to Vegas several times, can learn something new...like not venturing near the tunnels. Best info I came away with was, better to be in a group of many when leaving the Strip on foot. I always thought two or three people together was enough. Not so. Also, I would probably stay far away from people open carrying their fire arms....That would make me nervous.
