Gaming Etiquette
It's best to not bring personal electronic items into the casino, and you can't use a cell phone while seated at a casino game. You cannot bring a cell phone or pager into the sports book section of the casinos. All players must be at least 21 years old - no exceptions.

Health and Safety

Health
Always carry a bottle of water, the climate here is very hot and dry and very easy to dehydrate. Be sure to use sunscreen whenever you are outside.

Safety
The high-concentration areas of Las Vegas are among the safest places for visitors in the world. Security is tight, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take the same precautions that you would at home. Be aware of your surroundings and stay away from threatening situations. If gaming, keep an eye on your purse, change bucket or chips. If there is an incident, police and security personnel are generally highly visible.

Smoking Etiquette
Generally speaking, smoking is permitted on the casino floor at most resorts, in some guest rooms and in bars that don't serve food. It is not permitted in public areas such as restaurants, hotel lobbies, the Las Vegas Convention Center concourse areas, or Mc Carran International Airport.

Casinos
