Take your picture at the sign (yes for real.)
Yes, its cheesy and yes, it’s a total tourist trap but looking back it will be a memorable moment on your vacation. Imagine how many people have done the exact same thing and now you have something in common with them. Can we say #LIT?

If you see something for free, might as well do it.
Despite popular belief (insert eyeroll) Vegas will try and take you for all that you got. To save up your wallet try to do the free things offered in Vegas. The good thing is there is literally something for everyone. Try Ethel M’s chocolate factory or the animal habitat at the Flamingo. Trust me free stuff isn’t hard to come by and who doesn’t like free?

Visit the Pawn Stars while you’re here
Located right on the boulevard the Silver and Gold Pawn Shop is your one stop shop for pretty much anything you can think of, and yes this is the actual store from Pawn Stars. Pop in for a look at their inventory or schedule a tour. Either way you’re sure to hit gold with this spot.
