in town. Don't believe me? Check

Amy's Things to Avoid
The strip by car in the evening...
Walking outside Fremont Street...
The cheesy part of the Strip...
Do not drive on Las Vegas Blvd
in the early evening / night if you
want to go somewhere! Find a
back way – they exist (grab a map)
or park at Mandalay Bay or Luxor
and take the tram up to Excalibur!
And use valet parking! MUCH less
stressful and safer if you're alone
or with small kids.
Once the center of drugs and
prostitution, it has gone through
a revitalization. It's still a rougher
part of town, but I wouldn't call it
dangerous, just not as safe. If you
must walk around, stay in a group
and don’t head into dark places.
Basically use your common sense
and you'll be absolutely fine!
These areas are mostly on the
east side of the Strip, just past
Flamingo and up to Sahara.
Sometimes scary, often cheesy,
usually drunken! AVOID... unless
it's your thing! Just past MGM,
there is a nice theater and a great
M&M store, those are ok, but
beyond that ... not so fabulous!
