5 Do’s and Don’ts for the Best Sightseeing in Las Vegas

The Do and Don't list is something that I have always enjoyed watching on travel specials and am throwing my hand into the style! 

While some of these features are often in the style of “you must do this” and “you might as well miss that,” this version is formatted in a different way and in no way tell you not to do something major, as my misfortune might be someone else's highlight.

Instead, the “Do” will feature a specific place or thing to do in the destination that is a great site and/or experience, and the “Don't” will spotlight things to keep in mind during that activity that is not well known and publicized when planning the trip.

This entry into the Do and Don't feature looks at a big one- sightseeing in Las Vegas, Nevada!  While Las Vegas is known for the glitz and glamor, high rollers and whales, it can be done properly for the budget-conscious.
