Is Las Vegas safe for solo female travelers?

Las Vegas safety can depend largely on where you are. Popular and well-lit areas such as the Las Vegas Strip are generally safe due to the high level of security present. However, some parts of the city can be less safe especially late at night. Always be alert, aware of your surroundings, and consider taking a taxi or rideshare service rather than walking alone late at night.

How safe is Las Vegas for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

3.5 /5

based on 20 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

Definitely a very overwhelming place as there is so much happening, its hard to decide on what to do. Overall enjoyed the day piil parties more than the night clubs as it was a less pretentious vibe. Getting around using taxis or Uber is pretty expensive and overall the most of food and drinks is very pricey so be prepared to spend alot of money.

It was a really great experience. I was with a travel group from a language academy what made it a lot easier. We stayed at a motel which was a bit outside of the city, because we were all under 21 and not allowed to go through the casinos, so we had to took a hotel where the rooms are outside of the casino.

The atmosphere on the ranch was so great! Then we went to a...

I would Las Vegas as a whole is fairly safe. Almost everywhere has security, if not Metro there. As a local we don’t go to the Strip, Paradise, due to that being hellish. With drunks, fights, and other stuff.

I thought Las Vegas is safe, because there's no much to see on the Citizen app. For women, we should know that citizen app shows many pedophiles in Las Vegas, so even if you're over 18/21, but look younger, you should be careful. The high risk of becoming a victim of human trafficking is worrying, so stay away of drugs, as men pretend to want to become your lovers, when in reality they are just gangsters who think women are stupidly weak in believing their "sweet" lies. Besides pedophiles, there were people killed around me and I was harassed and followed on the streets by Mexicans, which...

Overall if you keep situational awareness in Las Vegas you’re fine. If you’re on the strip be aware of pig pockets and people trying to scam you out of money. Physical assault is pretty rare, just don’t get out of control, never leave your drink unattended… Use your head
