It is necessary to exercise reasonable caution in every sense: outside the center are not the most prosperous areas, and the hub of gambling establishments attracts scammers of all stripes. Therefore, keep an eye on your wallet and do not leave the center at night.
If someone outside the casino tries to offer you a free ticket to a show or dinner, asking how long you're going to be in Vegas, don't take anything and reply that you'll be leaving in a couple hours.
Be cautious on the streets as well: pickpocketing most often occurs in crowded areas — near the Bellagio fountains, on Fremont Street, and at casino entrances. It’s best to leave valuables in your hotel safe. When traveling at night, it’s safer to use an official taxi or a ride-hailing app rather than walking through deserted neighborhoods.
It’s not recommended to play “friendly” street card games or get into arguments with street performers — these are often parts of scam operations. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to contact hotel security or a police patrol — Las Vegas has plenty of them to ensure tourists’ safety.
