Access Vegas Insider Vibe June 19, 2018

Hello From Las Vegas! – June has been generally kind when it comes to the weather. With a couple of exceptions, we’ve been around 100F the entire month. We jump to 110F briefly later this week before getting back down to a seasonal 104F. For all the talk of people how Las Vegas is 115F everyday in the summer, the reality is that both July and August average just over 100F.  That according to readings taken at the airport, which (as most of you know) is very close to The Strip!

Stay Hydrated, My Friends – The Dos Equis guy may have made famous the phrase “Stay Thirsty, My Friends”. However, that is the last thing you want to happen in Las Vegas. Especially on The Strip where the distances are so great. (Downtown on Fremont Street, you are never more than a few minutes from any casino to a sundry store where cheap water is plentiful).

Obviously, if you plan carefully, you can grab water at the pharmacies on The Strip, or from the street vendors selling bottled water. However, if you are in the middle of one of the huge Strip casinos, your options get a bit more thin. You can hunt down the gift shop, where it still isn’t going to be super-cheap. You can buy water from a bar, where they will sell you a tiny bottle  for many dollars. You may even take an empty glass and stick it under the warm/hot water that comes from the restroom faucets.

Every year we remind members of a better option. And, because hydration is so important and we don’t want anyone getting ill, we’re suggesting another option:

Go up to a bar with $1 in your hand, and as you place it on the other side of the bar (like you do when you tip), say “Can I please get an ice water in a pint glass, filled halfway with ice?” They get $1 for doing 10 seconds worth of work, and you don’t die of thirst!

Also, if you are asking for a drink while playing, it is perfectly acceptable to ask for a bottle of water at the same time. Just remember to tip and extra $1. Most don’t realize that!

We have a couple hundred similar tips neatly organized in our Members Area. Just a few of them will be more valuable than the price of membership, and help you have your best Las Vegas vacation every the next time you visit. Plus, access is now INSTANT!

No More Rio Seafood Buffet – In our members edition, we go over this recent change, and suggest where you might want to go instead.

Hope you are enjoying this issue!

We’re thinking of taking a trip from Las Vegas to Laughlin? What’s the best way to get there?

Ted Responds:

Members Mania is one of the many, many features for paid subscribers. We went into detail — both for Kelly and for our paid subscribers — the ins and outs of visiting Laughlin.

What the drive is like (including prepping for the drive, and available stops), a certain spot on the trip to be very careful about (and why), what to expect about Laughlin, and details on two highly-recommended side trips in the general area.

We’re continuing to deliver for our members month-in, and month-out. (Twice monthly, actually). Join us over on the other side where you’ll have instant access to tons of archives, a huge organized list of Las Vegas tips (many exclusive to our members), and much, much more:
