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

Almost all the restraunts where good, the hotels were great. I stayed at two. 1. Pink Flamingo, which was OK. 2. Harrahs which I seem to like it a little better. Everything is more expensive then the downtown strip. I actually got a room with living area, bedroom, and 2 bathrooms, then a bar in the living. Area. The rooms was cheaper then downtown strip, however of course they always charged 50 dollars per day for resort fee. And 40 dollars a day with vallet parking. I did not feel very safe. A man tried to grab me on the strip. Same man that tried to grab two other women the night before. In front of a lot of people. But people just ignore it and walk on. When reporting it to pink flamingo. They said sorry the strip is not our property. However when I was talking to staff the day before. It's a good area and we try our best to keep people not only inside but also outside. But when it comes down to it. I saw Carrie Underwood. I really loved her.

Been to Vegas countless times, it's generally safe. I prefer to stay center strip, near Ballys as its close to everytime. Top 3 eats Spago, Dave's Hot Chicken & Tacos El Gordo. Girls don't pay to get into night clubs, never but anything from anyone on the strip. I prefer uber here, I feel safer, and the cabs try to rip you off.

I went about a week before the F1 race for a work trip and had a blast. I went a little early to do some exploring of my own and while the strip is great, I’d your outdoorsy, I wouldn’t overlook Las Vegas! The Grand Canyon isn’t far, and if you like to hike or rock climb, Red Rocks park is just a 30 minute drive from the strip and had some of the best climbing I had in a while! Walking around at night felt perfectly safe (at practically any hour) on the strip, especially when you have the option to walk from casino to casino and get from one end of the strip to another without ever really leaving a well lit and crowded building. The food was delicious! And I’m a big speakeasy fan, there were a ton right on the strip that were a lot of fun to try and find!
Posted: January 4, 2024I don't gamble and I rarely drink, but I loved Las Vegas while traveling alone. I never felt threatened there. I had a great time. Lots of interesting things to see and places to visit. I used the Deuce bus and Uber.
Posted: September 27, 2023I made some partial solo trips there (a day or two alone, before a few close friends joined me). I can only comment on staying in the area, which I considered to be quite safe, but of course, exercise caution - probably the most important advice I would give is not to accept anything offered by strangers, especially in the streets.
Posted: September 25, 2023I took a solo trip to Vegas in April and drank and had a great time. I went to Meow Wolf and Red Rock Canyon, and kayaked on the Colorado River. I used Uber from the airport. I never felt unsafe, but I also didn't stay out late.
Posted: September 20, 2023I traveled alone to Vegas in March this year and had a great time. I saw 4 shows in the evening and walked to different hotels during the day, I didn't gamble, just watched sports, but ultimately I had a great time and felt very safe.
Posted: June 13, 2023I've been alone in Vegas 3 times. I've never felt unsafe. I walked the strip at 2 in the morning and around Fremont at 5 in the morning. There are plenty of people traveling alone in Vegas.
Posted: June 11, 2023I went alone once, and took my mother the next time. It was great. I booked a tour to Red Rock and another to the Grand Canyon, a Cirque du Soleil show, and used a hop on hop off bus as transport with a multi-day ticket. I went to Freemont for dinner and a show at Plaza. I found it safe and convenient, but keep your eyes open.

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.
