Is Las Vegas Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Las Vegas

Its okay as long as youre mindful. I never walk alone at night. I always pay attention to my surroundings. I be careful. You never know. Sex trafficking is a thing so im extra causcious over that. I am a local and i havent experienced anything scary luckily but i do know friends where something unsafe happened.

The closer you are to the Las Vegas Strip the more unsafe it is, as long as you stay in a group, around nicely lit areas and avoid drunk people you should be fine. Vegas is known for a sex trafficking issue so always avoid men that look suspicious even if they’re by themselves or not. Especially if you’re outside. Safest area outside the strip is Henderson or Summerlin (it’s the nice part of town) both areas have hotels by the highway for convenience if your trip isn’t strip oriented.

As long as you stay to well lit areas around the strip or off strip you should be ok. It's pretty clear which areas are sketchy and you should avoid. Most of the fun places are safe to explore and have fun

Depends on where you are… in my neighborhood I feel very safe & walk my dog at night after as I live across from a huge park. Don’t really go inside the playground area much as a lot of homeless live there. If you mind your buddies they don’t bother you. Towards the strip, I wouldn’t feel comfortable roaming alone at night as a woman outside the casinos at least. Inside the casinos there is a lot of security so it feels a lot safer depending which casino you’re in. Fremont is very seedy no matter where you are I wouldn’t go alone unless you’re with a local.

Vegas is generally safe in most areas that people frequent. There are certain areas I would highly advise travelers avoid. The north east areas and historic west side are not the best for travelers. Going out at night in groups and in populated areas is typically as safe as any other city. Always best to not be out alone at night or to stay in areas that are well populated and lively vs the quieter areas of town.

Vegas is safe near the strip just don’t go far from there at night as there is a lot of druggies and gangs ect but everywhere else is busy so lots of friendly people around. So much to do so it’s worth visiting just also watch your drinks in clubs

Las Vegas is like most American cities - it has some really dangerous pockets, but if you keep your wits about you, you'll likely be ok. I lived there for 8 years and didn't run into any issues. That said, if you're visiting on the strip, you're more likely to be a victim of a petty crime.

Group travel

My first time in the US was visiting Las Vegas while doing the work and travel program in a smaller city called Laughlin. It was really an amazing experience that I carry dear to myself. I got to meet so many amazing people and places, had lots of fun and growth 😌❤️

Solo travel

I went to the Bellagio and although it was beautiful there was a strange man who approached me and I didn't really feel safe. Fremont St is expensive but had an open festival vibe. There were intoxicated ppl at McDonald's and wanted to fight me. I wouldn't go alone. I'm used to traveling alone but not any more
