How safe is Las Vegas?

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 im suspecting are mafia Mexican cartel. My advice is that's not worth visiting Vegas, it's just a city with a street that has some fake me buildings similar to Europe and Egypt, some casinos were nobody wins money, and that's all. The rest is a pretty boring city, full with weird people, extremely hot 🔥, dessert weather.

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

I've always said the most dangerous place I've traveled to is home, but with that being said, if you're aware of your surroundings and are alert, it's fairly a safe place. Dont take drinks from strangers, and don't go out alone at night.

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.

Is Las Vegas worth visiting?

Travel rating

4 /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.
