Travel Better, Cheaper, Longer

Las Vegas Travel Guide

Last Updated: April 18, 2024

But there’s more to visiting Sin City than just the Strip. This city is home to a growing art scene, incredible shows, an amazing mix of restaurants, events, nearby hiking, and history. The downtown area is being revived, there’s so much good food here (did I mention that? lol), and friendly people.

This travel guide to Vegas can help you navigate the city on a budget and show you that there’s more to Vegas than the Strip.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Las Vegas

1. Take in a show

Vegas does entertainment better than anywhere else. You can find some of the best acts in the world here, from magic shows to comedy acts, circus performances to musicals. It’s often a good idea to book tickets with your accommodation as it can work out to be cheaper. Use Tix4Vegas (operated by Tix4Tonight) to find tickets for shows that night for up to 50% off. They have booths at Showcase Mall, Bally’s Grand Bazaar, and Casino Royale.

2. Experience Fremont Street

Fremont Street is where Vegas was born. The city’s first hotel opened up here in 1906, it became the city’s first paved street in 1925, and the first gaming license was issued to an establishment on Fremont in 1931. Today, Fremont Street offers a very different scene from the Strip, with dive bars, older casinos, and more of a New Orleans Bourbon Street vibe. It’s a great area for entertainment, people-watching, and cheap drinks. The Fremont Street Experience (FSE) on the western end of the street is a pedestrian mall with nightly light shows and street performances.

3. Splurge on a meal

Las Vegas has some of the best food in the world. With all that money flowing in, it is easy to see why. You can find every type of cuisine and every type of restaurant here, from Michelin-starred restaurants to gigantic, bottomless brunch buffets. A trip here isn’t complete without at least one fine dining experience. My favorite restaurants are Yellowtail (Bellagio), Lemongrass (Aria) The Peppermill, and Firefly.

4. Head to Hoover Dam & Lake Mead

Completed in 1936, the Hoover Dam is the country’s largest reservoir. Its massive curved wall towers 726 feet (221 meters) above bedrock and holds back over 9 trillion gallons of water in Lake Mead. It is an impressive feat of engineering, and the dam’s hydroelectric generators provide power to Nevada, Arizona, and California. This project was an important part of how the desert states of the Southwest were able to develop. The dam is free to see but the visitor center with its exhibits and observation deck costs $10 USD. A guided tour of the power plants and dam costs $30 USD. This will take you through the tunnels and you’ll get to ride the original elevator. You’ll visit the viewing platform and even get to see the massive Colorado River from inside the dam.

5. Visit the Neon Museum

This outdoor lot is brimming with the huge neon signs that once beckoned you into casinos like the Silver Slipper, Stardust, and El Cortez. The museum recently expanded and now features more signs, a park, and guided tours of their collection. For each sign, there are displays to read about its story and significance in Vegas history. Daytime admission is $20 USD and nighttime tours cost $25 USD. Make reservations in advance as this is a very popular attraction and it often sells out. The museum also offers “Neon Night Flights,” nighttime helicopter tours of Vegas’s neon lights (tickets start at $199 USD, which includes a guided tour and light show at the museum).

Other Things to See and Do in Las Vegas

1. take a trip to the grand canyon.

You can combine a trip to the Grand Canyon with an outing to Hoover Dam if you take one of the many coach tours (start around $110 USD). These take an entire day as the canyon isn’t that close to the city. Since they are over 250 miles (400 kilometers) away (a tour of the Canyon and Hoover Dam can easily take up to 14 hours). While I think the Grand Canyon deserves its own trip, if this is the closest you can get to it, a rushed visit is better than no visit. Tours with Get Your Guide take around 10 hours and cost $165 USD.

If possible, rent a car instead . That will give you more flexibility and will likely be cheaper if you can split a rental.

2. Explore Shark Reef Aquarium

As one of the most prestigious sea-life centers in the world, Shark Reef Aquarium is a must-see. Shark Reef tunnel, which is designed to look like a sunken ancient shipwreck, allows you to come face to face with over 2,000 species of sharks, sawfish, giant rays, endangered green sea turtles, and rare golden crocodiles. Holding over 1.3 million gallons, the aquarium’s main tank is one of the largest in North America. The aquarium is located in the Mandalay Bay Resort and tickets cost $29 USD for admission and a VR experience . There’s also an option to add the experience of feeding sharks or stingrays. Prices for the add-ons start at $65 USD.

3. See Vegas from The STRAT

Offering the best views of Vegas, The STRAT is the tallest free-standing observation tower in the US. If you’re feeling brave, consider trying the rides at the top. The aptly named X-Scream propels you headfirst 27 feet over the edge of the tower and leaves you hanging 850 feet in the air. Admission to the Sky Pod Observation Deck costs $20 USD. Adding a “Thrill Ride” is as little as $1 per ride, depending on the time of day, while Sky Jumps (think bungy jumping) start at $149 USD.

4. Hike Red Rock Canyon

If the bright lights of Vegas get too much for you, head out to Red Rock Canyon for a day of hiking. A road rings the canyon, and each trailhead has a parking lot where you can leave your car to go hike before driving to the next trailhead. At 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long, the Calico Tanks trail is the most popular in the area. You pass a natural water tank on the way, which leads up to a summit offering a great view of Las Vegas. Make sure to come early in the morning before it gets too hot, and bring a lot of water, a hat, and sunscreen. The entrance costs $20 USD per vehicle (or $5 USD if you’re a pedestrian), and the scenic loop is open from 6am to at least 5pm. Other popular trails worth checking out are the Ice Box Trail (2.6 miles/4 kilometers), Keystone Thrust (2.2 miles/3.5 kilometers), and the White Rock-Willow Spring Loop (4.4 miles/7 kilometers).

If you’d rather splash out than hik, helicopter tours over Red Rock last 2-3 hours and cost $239 USD.

5. Check out the Mob Museum

Las Vegas started with the mafia. Bugsy Segel built the Flamingo and, since then, the mob has controlled Vegas (see the movie Casino , which is based on a true story). With the rise of mega-resorts, the mob has less influence these days, however, there would be no Vegas without the mafia. This detailed, eye-opening museum showcases the history of the mob and Vegas. It’s super informative! Don’t miss The Underground, a speakeasy and distillery underneath the museum where you can try Prohibition-era cocktails with moonshine crafted on-site. Fun fact: my family used to be involved with the mob out in Vegas. Admission is $34.95 USD (save $10 USD on admission by buying “happy hour” tickets online and visiting after 5pm Sunday-Friday or before 11am on Saturday).

6. See the Mirage Volcano

Set to its own soundtrack, this man-made volcano erupts finely choreographed fireballs and smoke 100ft into the air from the waters below, turning the waterfall to molten lava. It’s located at the Mirage (on the Strip) and has been erupting since the hotel opened in 1989. The volcano show happens nightly at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, and 11pm. It’s one of the many free nightly displays on the Strip that hotels use to attract and captivate visitors.

7. Visit the Venetian

The Venetian Las Vegas is a luxury hotel, resort, and casino that, with a staggering 7,092 rooms, is the 2nd-largest hotel in the world. The architecture and construction of this casino are magnificent and one of the best on the Vegas Strip. While gondola rides are super cheesy, overpriced, and touristy (just like in Venice !), it’s worth spend some time walking through here. It’s super pretty and makes for a good stroll. Plus, it’s free!

8. Watch the Bellagio Fountain Show

The Bellagio resort offers a magnificent nightly light and water display set to music. The show has 4,792 lights and uses 1,214 water nozzles to send jets of water soaring as high as 460 feet (140 meters) across the 8.5-acre man-made lake in front of the hotel. I think it’s overhyped (probably due to Ocean’s 11 ), so while I wouldn’t make my night revolve around it as some people do, it’s worth seeing if you’re nearby. Check the Bellagio website for showtimes.

9. Hang out in Boulder City

Along the way to the Hoover Dam, this suburb offers a taste of local life in the area. Milo’s is the hot restaurant in this town. Check out the Public Art Scape, which consists of more than thirty unique sculptures spread throughout the town. You can also visit the free Hoover Dam Museum. It’s designed to give you a glimpse into the lives of the men and women who settled the town and built the dam during the Great Depression. Take a walk or bike along the Historic Railroad Trail that takes you through the tunnels and along the railroad bed that was used to move the materials needed to build the Hoover Dam. If you’re a golfer, there are a few courses around as well. There’s also a main street and some shopping you can do. Strolling around this quiet little community is a nice contrast to the crowds of Vegas.

10. Go golfing

There are many golf courses in Vegas, including Shadow Creek, considered one of the best and most expensive courses in the world (it costs $1000 – $1,250 USD to golf here). If you aren’t a member of any local clubs, many of the casinos can arrange day passes. You can find tee times starting at $30 USD per person on weekdays.

11. Get artistic at First Friday

On the first Friday of every month, the downtown area fills up with exhibits and displays from local artists during First Friday. It’s free and a great way to get a sense of the local art scene as well as mix with locals. The event hosts live music, food trucks, and vendors selling their various creations. It’s a great way to see what life looks like for the people who live and work in Las Vegas. Be sure also to check out Arts District 18B, the arts center of Las Vegas, which is home to cool bars, shops, galleries, and more.

12. Visit the Pinball Hall of Fame

If you’ve got nostalgia for the vintage-style pinball machines of your childhood arcade days, visiting the Pinball Hall of Fame (near the Strip) is a must. After moving to a new location in 2021, this museum now spans 25,000 square feet and is dedicated entirely to classic pinball games. Admission is free, though playing the games does cost money. Make sure you bring lots of quarters!

13. Come for the Life is Beautiful Festival

Life is Beautiful is a huge music and arts festival that takes place every September in downtown Las Vegas. You get all the big-name musicians, but there’s also lots of unique entertainment – Bill Nye and Rosario Dawson are just two of the festival’s past guests. Plus, the whole downtown core gets transformed into an open-air art gallery as street artists make the city their canvas. Even if you’re visiting after the festival is over, you still get to appreciate these artworks.

14. Check out the Arts Factory

Located in the Arts District downtown, the Arts Factory is a stark contrast to the glitz and glam of the Strip. Inside this 50-year-old warehouse, you’ll find galleries, studios, and all kinds of live art events (poetry readings, plays, etc.). While First Friday is the most active time to visit, you can really visit anytime. The exhibitions are always changing so there’s always something new going on. Check their website for an up-to-date schedule. It’s free to visit too.

15. Have fun at Area15

This immersive entertainment complex is hard to describe. It’s kind of like an indoor theme park and performance venue and retail center all rolled into one. There are events and performances (live music, drag shows), as well as dance party events with DJs. There are bars inside (including a bar and arcade combined) as well as several games and activities (like ax throwing). In short, it’s a huge complex with all kinds of weird and wonderful things to do. It’s free to enter, and then you pay for whatever activities you want to do. If you plan to go on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm, book your activities in advance, as otherwise, you’ll have to pay $10 USD to get into the complex.

Las Vegas Travel Costs

Hostel prices – There are currently only a couple of hostels in Vegas. During peak season, a bed in a 4-6-bed dorm room starts at $45 USD. For a room with 8 beds or more, expect to pay around $40 USD. During the off-season, a bed in a room with 8 beds or more costs around $30 USD a night, and a bed in a 4-6-bed dorm is about $40 USD. Free Wi-Fi is standard and both hostels here have kitchens for cooking your own meals. Neither offers private rooms.

Budget hotel prices – You can find tons of cheap budget hotel options in Vegas near the Strip or downtown. Budget two-star hotels start around $90 USD in peak season and $65 USD off-peak when you factor in resort fees which usually add around $30 per night to the listed price.

There are lots of Airbnb options in Vegas, but not many are located near the Strip. Plus, there are so many high-end hotels offering low prices, you don’t really need to consider Airbnb. A private room starts around $60 USD per night while entire homes/apartments start at $100 USD. Expect to pay double (or triple) if you don’t book early.

Food – You can find everything in Vegas, from comfort food to international eats, fast food to luxury plates. It’s all here. In Chinatown, not far from the Strip, you’ll find traditional dim sum and plenty of reasonably priced places to get a good meal. One of the great things about Las Vegas is you can find food at all hours, especially in the main tourist areas.

If you’re on a budget, you can find cheap eats in Vegas at hotels and casinos where there are buffets costing $25-35 USD. While not exactly cheap, you can really fill up on food here and likely skip a meal later.

Towards the middle of the Strip near Horseshoe, there are a number of cheap chain restaurants like Chipotle, McDonald’s, and Subway where you can find cheap fast food. Slices of pizza go for about $6 USD and you can find burgers for $10 USD. Chinese takeout is $12-15 USD for a combination plate, which includes an entree, egg roll, and rice.

Vegas has lots of mid-range dining options, especially around downtown and Fremont Street. You can dine out for $15-20 USD per main course, including meat and pasta dishes.

A beer costs about $5-8 USD (but if you want to really save money, grab a beer from a corner store for less than $5 USD — you can drink on the street here). A glass of wine is $11-14 USD (at least). Cocktails are $13-16 USD in a restaurant or cocktail bar, but there are plenty of places to find cheap drinks around the Strip and Fremont, especially during happy hours.

A latte/cappuccino costs around $5.50 USD while bottled water is around $2 USD.

Vegas has some of the best high-end dining restaurants in the world, and you really should splurge on at least one good meal. You can get a prix-fixe three-course meal starting around $100 USD and can spend more than $500 for a meal in this city! But you can also get really delicious meals with two courses for about $55 USD.

If you cook your own food, expect to pay $50-65 USD per week for groceries including pasta, rice, vegetables, and some meat.

Two of my favorite restaurants here are Lotus of Siam and Esther’s Kitchen.

Backpacking Las Vegas Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Vegas, expect to spend $80 USD per day. This budget covers a hostel dorm, using public transportation to get around, cooking your own meals, limiting your drinking, and doing free activities like the fountain shows and wandering Fremont. If you plan on drinking, add at least $10-20 USD to your budget per day.

A mid-range budget of $195 USD per day covers staying in a budget hotel or private Airbnb, eating out most of your meals at cheap restaurants, enjoying the occasional buffet, having a few drinks, gambling a bit, and doing some paid attractions such as seeing Hoover Dam or going to a concert.

On a “luxury” budget of $405 USD or more per day, you can stay in a hotel on the Strip, eat out at mid-range restaurants, drink more, see more shows, and rent a car to go on a trip to the Grand Canyon. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

Las Vegas Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

You can visit Las Vegas on a budget if you’re mindful of your spending. However, you can easily burn through money really, really quickly here if you aren’t careful (two drinks at the bar could cost you $40 USD!). Here are some ways to stay on a budget in Vegas:

• Skip the weekend – Most people visit Las Vegas on a Friday or Saturday and stay for the weekend, which means this is the most expensive time to visit. By visiting the city during the week, you can enjoy significantly reduced room rates and restaurant prices.
• Gamble responsibly – It’s Vegas, so of course, you want to risk a few dollars in a casino. Just don’t go wild. Only gamble what you can comfortably afford to lose because the house always wins.
• Get comps – If you’re gambling, casinos often reimburse some of your losses in the form of meals, discounted show tickets, and rooms. Make sure to ask about these!
• Redeem hotel points – Be sure to sign up for hotel credit cards and use those points when you travel. There’s nothing better than free accommodation and most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free. This post can help you get started with the basics so you can start earning points today and have plenty for your trip.
• Use coupons – Coupons are almost a currency in Las Vegas; casinos give you a book of them when you sign up for a (free) players card, and you can find 2-for-1 offers on meals in restaurants on the Strip.
• Don’t pay cabs with a credit card – Many taxis charge a $3 USD service charge when you pay with a credit card. Avoid the charge by paying cash.
• Eat at the buffet – To fill up on food, stick to the all-you-can-eat buffets. They cost about $25-35 USD per meal and you can really pack it on!
• Eat cheap at 5-star restaurants – Prime-time seating at the Strip’s five-star restaurants is between 8-10pm, but these hot spots like to be full all the time, so most have both happy hour and pre-show menus to kick off their evenings between 4pm-7pm.
• Go to Late Night Happy Hour – Most Vegas restaurants stop serving food by 10:30pm, but there are so many performers finishing up about that time that the Strip has a tradition of the post-10pm (or 11pm, depending on the place) “late night happy hour,” with food and drinks starting around $5 USD.
• Do brunch – A boozy brunch is a Sin City staple. The best ones come with unlimited food and drinks on the weekends. (I order my mimosas bottomless and tell them to “hold the juice.”)
• Drink at the casino before hitting the club – To cut down on expensive drinks at the clubs, drink on the casino floor. The drinks are free as long as you’re playing one of the games. Sit down at a penny slot machine, play slow, and drink fast. You can have 10 drinks for the price of one at the club! Just make sure you tip the waitress.
• Get discount tickets to shows – My favorite part about staying near the Strip is getting to see so many shows. Tix4Vegas has booths at Showcase Mall, Bally’s Grand Bazaar, and Casino Royale. There you can find tickets for shows that night for up to 50% off. You can also get them online too.
• Get the Go City Las Vegas Pass – This pass allows you to see a large number of attractions (and includes a free hop-off, hop-on tour as well as transportation on The Deuce). A two-day pass is $154 USD, a three-day pass is $264 USD, and a five-day pass is $344 USD with nearly fifty attractions to choose from. Some of the things you can enjoy with this pass are a free tour of the Hoover Dam, free entrance to Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N., and free entry to the Eiffel Tower experience.
• Save money on rideshares – Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don’t want to take a bus or pay for a taxi — especially if you’re going to/from the airport.
• Hang out on Fremont Street – Drinks on the Strip are pricey. Save money by drinking down on Fremont. Drinks are much cheaper there!
• Bring a reusable water bottle – Vegas gets super hot (you’re in the desert after all!) so bring a reusable water bottle to keep you hydrated. The tap water is safe, but you can use a filter like LifeStraw to ensure your water is always clean.

Where to Stay in Las Vegas

Vegas only has a couple hostels since most people who come here want to live like a rock star for a few days. You can often find mid-week deals at local hotels and casinos for the same price or less than the hostel and be closer to all the action. Just be aware that most casinos also have a resort fee. If you want to stay in a hostel, here are my recommended places to stay:

• Sin City Hostel

How to Get Around Las Vegas

Public Transportation – Most of the Strip is connected via tunnels and walkways, but when it’s too hot, the monorail is a good option for getting around. The monorail stops at seven different points on the Vegas Strip, including several different major hotels. A one-way ride is $5.50 USD, while a one-day pass is $13.45 USD. You can buy up to a seven-day pass, depending on how long you’re staying.

The bus system in Vegas is known as The Deuce. It’s one of the best ways to get between downtown and the Strip, with the two main routes are The Deuce on the Strip and the SDX. A single-ride is $4 and a two-hour bus pass is $6 USD, while a 24-hour pass is $8 USD. A three-day pass is $20 USD. You can buy tickets on the bus, from ticket vending machines, or on the rideRTC, Lyft, and Uber apps.

The city also provides a free shuttle service that stops at many of the main districts and attractions. The Las Vegas Downtown Loop runs Monday-Thursday, 11am-6pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm-10pm.

Taxis – Taxis start at $3.50 USD to start and go up by $2.76 USD per mile. Many taxis also charge a processing fee of around $3 USD if you don’t pay cash. Also, if you take a taxi from the airport there is a $2 USD surcharge. Fixed rates from the airport start at $17-27 USD per zone and go up from there. Since traffic here can be a pain it’s best to just skip the taxis if you can.

Ridesharing – Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around the city if you don’t want to take a bus or pay for a taxi. They do add up though so skip them if you can.

When to Go to Las Vegas

Vegas is busy all year-round, but especially during the winter months when the rest of North America comes seeking Nevada’s hot, desert temperatures.

Spring and fall temperatures are pleasant, with highs averaging between 69-82°F (20-28°C). There are a lot of festivals and outdoor events during these seasons. The Electric Daisy Festival, a huge electronic music festival, happens in May. Both the iHeart Radio and Life is Beautiful music festivals happen in September.

Summer is a scorcher, with temperatures reaching 105°F (40°C). It’s a good time to visit though because prices are lower. All the casino resorts and indoor spaces are well-equipped with air conditioning to keep you cool. Many of the resorts have pools and shaded areas outdoors as well.

It’s especially busy in Las Vegas during the week between Christmas and New Years’ and also at the end of January when a lot ofthe conventions are in town. March in Vegas can be total chaos when Spring Break and college basketball hits so, if you want lower prices and fewer crowds, definitely do not come during these times!

How to Stay Safe in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a safe place to visit, including if you’re a solo traveler or solo female traveler. Violent attacks are rare, but like all big cities, practice caution wherever you go. Vegas does have some gang violence, but if you stick to Fremont Street and the Strip you likely won’t come in contact with it.

As a general rule, don’t walk alone at night in unlit places and keep your valuables secure at all times. Keep an eye on your wallet while in large crowds on Fremont Street or on public transportation.

Be wary of buying things from street vendors. This is especially true for event tickets as the tickets are often fake.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

Worried about getting ripped off? Read about common travel scams to avoid here (though there aren’t too many scams here).

If you’re hiking, always bring water and sunscreen, especially during the summer. If you rent a car, don’t leave any valuables in it overnight. While break-ins are rare, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

If you experience an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID. Forward your itinerary along to loved ones so they know where you are.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Las Vegas Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources

These are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They consistently have the best deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors. They are the companies I use the most and are always the starting point in my search for travel deals.

Why should you book a vacation package to Las Vegas?

The best way to enjoy Las Vegas, saving time and money, is with a vacation package. By bundling together hotels and flights, you will often be able to take advantage of preferential rates, as opposed to standard single rates when booking separately. You will also save time matching hotel availability to your flights. If flexibility isn’t your priority, Las Vegas vacation packages could leave you more money to spend in the city itself, rather than on getting there.

When should you book a vacation package to Las Vegas?

Booking a Las Vegas flight and hotel package is an efficient way to save on stress and cash. For the best deals and rooms, it’s advisable to search for Las Vegas vacation packages during quieter periods. Traveling during the week is generally more affordable than at weekends, and by booking earlier you can help avoid higher rates. The July-August ‘Monsoon’ season is a good time to find Las Vegas travel deals, as most travelers opt to visit during spring and fall when the weather is hotter and dryer. It’s also a good time to get away from the concrete and visit the surrounding valleys, mountains and national parks in cooler weather.

Whilst searching for Las Vegas travel deals, be sure to check out seasonal activities. Most crowd-pulling events such as the NASCAR race, the Super Bowl, and the Rodeo happen during fall and winter as well as major conventions such as the Consumer Electronics Show and the Magic International.

The Costco Traveler Blog

Vegas on a budget: 5 things to do for free, finding value at costco travel, members tell all: costco member hotel reviews, more about las vegas.

Las Vegas is a world of imagination. Just close your eyes and think about anything, and the odds are in your favor that you'll find it in Las Vegas. I mean, in only four miles of real estate, you can see relics from all parts of the world, like ancient Egypt, modern-day Venice, the streets of Paris, and the New York skyline. If that seems too kitschy, don't worry, there are plenty of elaborate resorts with non-stop gaming and over-the-top entertainment waiting to greet you. Where else in the world does a wonderland like this exist? Nowhere. But. Vegas.

The atmosphere of Las Vegas is something that you almost have to experience to understand fully. It's the ringing of chimes as a guest just hit the jackpot, the thumping bass from the club, the smell of unique and eclectic delicacies waiting to be tasted, and it's people-watching like nothing you've seen before. It's a never-ending source of irony and improbability where you can turn a chip and a chair into a million dollars.

For each visitor, Las Vegas is going to present a unique experience. It's like an equation where you + more = more of you: more chances to explore your personality, more opportunities to experiment with new ideas, and more thrills to discover around every corner. It's that reason alone that the sentiment "what happens here, stays here" is shared by so many visitors.

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
• Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
• Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
• Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
• If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
• For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
• December through February: 60° to 66° (Winter)
• March through May: 72° to 90° (Spring)
• June through August: 102° to 104° (Summer)
• September through November: 96° to 70° (Autumn)

The Vegas climate's bark is worse than its bite. Sure, summer highs hover around 100°F, but with no humidity and ever-present air-conditioning, you'll be comfortable as long as you have water on hand. Even the warmer months (June-September) are entirely bearable if you hydrate. Luckily, with 300 days of sunshine a year, the chances of a rain-out are slim. On the other hand, nights can be chilly between late fall and early spring, so bring a sweater or windbreaker for your evening strolls beneath the neon-bathed skies. Las Vegas doesn't have a high or low season by the standard definition, but you'll find it the least crowded between November and January. Hotels are at their fullest July through October. Specific events—New Year's Eve, spring break, major conventions, sporting events—draw big crowds, so plan accordingly.

The Cost of a Trip to Las Vegas (Let’s Break it Down)

Coming to Las Vegas can be an expensive vacation. You can expect to spend between $200 – $300 per person per day plus the cost of hotels and flights. There are ways to bring this cost down a bit, but there are also ways to make your trip much more expensive.

There are a lot of factors that go into the cost of a Las Vegas vacation. You have to think about travel, transportation in the city, food, lodging, and entertainment. Las Vegas is one of the world’s entertainment capitals, and there are a lot of things to see and do here, most of which cost money.

Average Daily Cost of A Trip to Las Vegas

So, how much for a trip to Las Vegas?

Well, you should plan to budget for roughly $250 per person per day . This comes out to around $1,750 per person per week.

Of course, these numbers will go up if you are traveling with multiple people. For example, two people can vacation in Vegas for a week for around $3,500, while a family of four could spend almost twice that amount.

However, it is cheaper to take a vacation in Las Vegas with children than it is with other adults. This is because you can share hotel rooms with children, and a lot of children’s entertainment in Las Vegas is significantly cheaper than the adult entertainment options.

For example, children are not allowed in casinos, so you do not have to bring money for them to go gambling. Instead, there are plenty of other family-friendly things to do in Vegas.

You can also lower your average daily cost in Las Vegas by slowing down and spending more time in the city. For example, if you spend a week in Las Vegas versus 2 or 3 days and pace yourself on entertainment and expenses, you can significantly lower your daily expenses compared to cramming everything into 3 days.

Remember, however, this is an average of what people actually spend per day once they are in Vegas. You can visit Las Vegas for less or a whole lot more, depending on your tastes.

Hotel Costs in Las Vegas

Before you can get to spend your $250 a day having fun, you’ll have had to already book a hotel. The price of lodging in Las Vegas varies based on where you are staying and how long you are staying. So whether you book in advance or at the last minute is also an important factor in how much lodging will cost.

Another thing to consider is whether you choose to stay in a hotel or in an alternate form of lodging, such as an AirBnB .

For example, staying in a luxury suite at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino , The Venetian , or MGM Grand can easily cost you upwards of several hundred dollars per night, especially if you are booking your trip at the last minute.

The following are some of the most popular hotels on or near the Las Vegas Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard) and the starting cost of their cheapest rooms:

• Bellagio Las Vegas ($205)
• Trump International Hotel Las Vegas ($136)
• Venetian Resort ($152)
• The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas ($150)
• Vdara Hotel & Spa ($120)
• Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas ($350)
• Caesars Palace ($109)
• Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas ($301)

However, you can also find more affordable mid-range hotels on the Vegas Strip that will generally cost you around $100 per night. These include:

• Excalibur Hotel & Casino ($35)
• MGM Grand ($65)
• Luxor Hotel ($44)
• Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino ($70)
• Flamingo Las Vegas ($34)
• Treasure Island TI ($35)
• Paris Las Vegas ($49)

The prices above don’t include the daily resort fee that each of these hotels charges which can run an additional $30-$50 per night.

If you choose to stay off the Strip , you can find hotels that are even cheaper or give you more bang for your buck. Staying a couple of blocks off the Strip can be a good opportunity to be close to all the fun and excitement of Las Vegas while having more budget-friendly accommodation options.

You can even choose to stay at one of the Las Vegas hotels that don’t charge resort fees if you don’t like the idea of extra fees.

Flights to Las Vegas

Physically getting yourself to Las Vegas will be one of the most expensive parts of your trip. Of course, this depends on where you are traveling from and what method you are taking.

If you are traveling across the country, a road trip might be a little bit cheaper than air fare (depending on the price of gas and how many people you’re traveling with), but it will take significantly longer. This will mean that you will have less vacation time to spend in Las Vegas itself.

If you book your flight well in advance, you can usually snag a round-trip flight to Las Vegas from anywhere in the country for a few hundred dollars or less if you are lucky.

Local Transportation in Vegas

Local transportation costs can kill your budget if you are not careful. Local taxi trips in this city can add up quickly and people can spend as much as $40 per day on cab fare getting around Sin City.

If you’ve got more time than money and want to save on transportation, you can skip the taxi or Uber service and take the public bus . Bus fare in Las Vegas is significantly lower than taxi fare, but the bus is slower and less convenient.

Eating in Las Vegas

There are a lot of options for food in Las Vegas, and a wide variety of food prices. You have options for luxury sit-down dining, mid-range sit-down meals, and fast food.

Breakfast in Las Vegas is usually less expensive than lunch and dinner. This is because breakfast foods typically require less work and use simpler ingredients than the meals that people typically eat at lunch and dinner.

These are some of the average prices that you can expect per person when you eat in a Las Vegas restaurant:

• Least expensive restaurants (Under $25)
• Inexpensive restaurants ($25-50)
• Mid-Range restaurants ($50-75)
• Expensive restaurants ($75-100)
• Luxury restaurants (Over $100)

In addition, to the plentiful restaurants found in every resort, attraction, and shopping area, you may also want to check out one of our famous Las Vegas buffets .

Costs of Gambling In Vegas

Las Vegas is synonymous with gambling and if you choose to partake in this activity, this will be the part of your budget that you have the most control over. It’s also the activity that can really blow up your budget. One report indicates that the average gambling budget for people traveling to Las Vegas is about $720, or roughly $180 per day for a three to four-day trip.

You can spend as little or as much as you would like when you visit the famous casinos of Las Vegas. However, there are some standard costs that you can expect.

For example, most tables will have a minimum bet that you have to make in order to participate in that game.

If you are gambling on The Strip, you can often find minimum table bets for around $5 or $10, especially if it is not during peak hours. These minimum bets can go even lower if you are going to a place off of The Strip.

You have to be aware of the fact that these minimums will rise during peak hours. Of course, if you are lucky this will not eat up very much of your budget.

Hopefully, you will be winning back the money that you are gambling. If you are lucky, you will walk out of the casino with more money than you had coming in.

That said, be careful because it is easy to lose all of your money here. It is a good idea to set a strict limit for yourself on how much you are willing to spend in the casinos and to leave once you hit that limit.

(Check out our article here to find out how much the average gambler loses when visiting Las Vegas.)

You might be tempted to indulge in alcohol in the casino. Casinos are known to offer cheap or sometimes even free alcoholic beverages to lower your inhibitions and change your sense of judgment. This can be a dangerous trap to fall into and can result in you losing more money than you planned.

*You should know the signs of gambling addiction, and you should seek help if you think that you might have a problem.

Other Vegas Entertainment

Gambling is not the only thing to do in Las Vegas. There are also shows, day tours, museums, theme parks, and many other sightseeing attractions.

The cost of these attractions varies depending on what you are looking for and how much you are looking to spend. A lot of people report spending an average of $70 per day on entertainment when they are visiting Las Vegas.

Some common shows and attractions that people like to visit in Las Vegas include:

• A museum dedicated to the history of the Nevada Test Site. The United States Department of Defense detonated over one thousand nuclear bombs at this site from 1951 to 1991.
• Taking a gondola ride at the Venetian resort is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Las Vegas.
• A monorail system that you can ride for entertainment or transportation
• Popular rollercoaster
• A popular indoor amusement park
• One of the longest-running and most popular shows in Las Vegas
• Stand-up comedy in Vegas
• A wild time set to a pounding beat

There are so many shows and attractions in Las Vegas that it could take you a lifetime of trips to see and do them all.

Tipping and Gratuities in Las Vegas

If you’re coming to Las Vegas on vacation, you need to know that tipping for services is expected and appreciated. Any time you go to a bar, restaurant, or casino, you will be expected to tip. Like in the rest of the country, it is standard to tip 10-20% for meals and drinks at a bar.

Tipping in casinos is a little bit different. Just like wait and bar staff, dealers at the table games make a significant portion of their living from tips.

It is typically considered proper to tip at least $5 an hour when you are at a casino. If the stakes of the table that you are playing at are higher, then you are expected to tip higher.

Some people also like to tip their dealer every time they get a big win.

For example, if you bet $100 on a hand and win $150 from your bet, you would tip your dealer at least $15 from that hand. Some people also choose to only tip their dealer when they get a big win rather than tipping a set amount every hour.

This is an option that you can choose, but it is considered improper etiquette. It is better to give them a standard tip every hour.

For a list of who, when, and how much to tip in Las Vegas, take a look at our complete tipping guide here .

Budgeting For Alcohol

Like with gambling, your alcohol budget is another part of your vacation fund that you will have the most direct control over. The amount of money that you are spending on booze varies based on what, where, and how much you are drinking.

A lot of people will spend up to $50 per day on drinks when they visit Las Vegas. Again, this varies based on a lot of factors including the individual’s taste and the setting where they are purchasing alcohol.

Las Vegas casinos are notorious for offering visitors alcohol for free or at extremely low prices. This is a trap to get their patrons liquored up.

The more a guest drinks, the more likely they are to make reckless decisions with their money. Gambling in a casino while drunk is a good way to make bad betting decisions, and a good way to spend more money gambling than you had planned.

Outside of casinos, the price of alcohol in bars and restaurants will probably be significantly higher than it would be if you were drinking at a bar in your hometown. Here are some typical drink prices you’re likely to encounter:

• Beers ($10-$15)
• Shots ($12-$15)
• Mixed Cocktails ($15-$20)

If you want to save money on alcohol, you can always buy your beer, wine, or liquor at a store and take it back to your hotel room.

Buying Water in Vegas

You need to stay hydrated in Las Vegas. You are out in the middle of a very dry desert. It is hot, it is crowded, travel dehydrates your body, and there is a good chance that you will be spending some of your time drinking adult beverages.

You can expect to spend around $10 per day on drinking water when you are in Las Vegas. The public tap water in Las Vegas hotels is considered to be safe to drink , but you might prefer the taste of bottled water and your hotel will typically only provide you with one bottle of water a day.

Final Thoughts

Hopefully, now you have a better idea of how much a trip to Vegas will cost.

It can be an expensive vacation if you’re not careful. Coming to Las Vegas will generally cost you a couple of hundred dollars per person or more per day.

There are a lot of fun things happening in Vegas. It is one of the most exciting cities in America, and everyone should take a trip here at least once. Your overall cost will be dependent on your tastes and desire for luxury.

Las Vegas can be fairly budget-friendly or obscenely expensive, depending on your choices.

First, this night flight is an excellent option if you’re looking for a cheap helicopter ride in Las Vegas . Not only is it affordable, but it’ll give you a completely fresh perspective of the Vegas Strip. During the flight, you’ll see iconic attractions and resorts like the Bellagio and the LINQ Promenade from above.

• Highlights : Nighttime helicopter flight over the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas

2. Golden Eagle , an amazing helicopter tour from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon

Another popular option is this excursion , which includes a Las Vegas helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon . It’s one of the best Grand Canyon heli-tours , and a great choice if you’re short on time but still want to see this natural wonder.

This Las Vegas helicopter ride starts in the city, where you’ll take off and fly over the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead . Then, you’ll make your way to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, where you’ll spot the Colorado River, Eagle Point, and Guano Point from the air.

If you don’t mind paying more, you can choose the upgrade option and fly over the Las Vegas Strip right as the nightlife is ramping up. Considering the price of a Hoover Dam helicopter tour , the upgrade is a great deal.

• Duration : 3.5-4 hours
• Highlights : Helicopter flight over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Grand Canyon West and the Strip

3. Grand Celebration , the helicopter tour in Las Vegas that we took

During one of our trips, we wanted to take a special Las Vegas heli-tour , so we opted for this one that goes past the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead en route to the Grand Canyon .

We got incredible aerial views of the West Rim, then enjoyed a private landing 3,200 feet below the rim. There, we had some time to sip champagne and take in the views, which was lots of fun. I definitely recommend this private helicopter tour from Las Vegas , and if you can book the sunset departure, go for it!

4. Grand Voyager , a full-day helicopter tour from Las Vegas, Nevada

This helicopter flight is another popular Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas that you should consider. It starts with a Las Vegas air tour over the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, followed by a visit to the Grand Canyon, where you’ll board a chopper.

Like the Las Vegas helicopter ride that we took, this one includes a canyon floor landing at the West Rim. However, it stands out because it also includes a boat cruise along the Colorado River, where you can enjoy peace and quiet and striking views.

After ascending back to the rim, you’ll board a shuttle and visit famous lookouts like Guano Point and Eagle Point. Then, you’ll fly back to Sin City in the early evening.

• Price from : $579
• Duration : 7 hours
• Highlights : Airplane flight over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Grand Canyon West; helicopter ride to the canyon floor; pontoon boat ride; optional Skywalk upgrade

5. Helicopter food tour , one of the best nighttime Las Vegas helicopter tours

This foodie tour is a fun and interesting option that combines a Las Vegas helicopter ride with some incredible tastings. It starts with a guided walking tour through Downtown Las Vegas, where you’ll experience the buzz of Fremont Street and its delicious food offerings. Along the way, your guide will share all kinds of stories and facts about Sin City’s history, gastronomy, and culture.

Then, you’ll board a limo and head to the terminal for your helicopter ride over the Las Vegas Strip . During the flight, you’ll soar over famous resorts and venues like the downtown Arts District, the Bellagio Fountains, and the Luxor Pyramid. Without a doubt, this is one of the best things to do in Las Vegas at night .

• Price from : $199
• Duration : 1.5 hours
• Highlights : Walking tour of Downtown Las Vegas, food tastings, helicopter flight over the Strip

6. South Rim helicopter tour , the only Las Vegas heli tour to the South Rim

This heli-excursion is an amazing helicopter tour from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon , especially since it’s the only one to go to the South Rim. While most air tours from Sin City either stay in Vegas or go to the West Rim, this one travels over the South and North Rims, granting you unparalleled views.

You’ll depart from the city in an airplane, then fly over Las Vegas , the Mojave Desert, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead. Once you reach Grand Canyon National Park, you’ll board a helicopter to see the Colorado River snaking its way through gorges and rock strata.

As if that weren’t enough, the last leg of the tour includes an on-the-ground Hummer excursion to popular South Rim viewpoints. This tour also includes a light lunch and hotel pick-up and drop-off, making it one of the best Las Vegas helicopter tours available.

• Price from : $849
• Duration : 9.5-10 hours
• Highlights : Airplane ride over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Colorado River; Grand Canyon helicopter tour; North and South Rims; Hummer ride to viewpoints

7. Red Rock Canyon , a romantic helicopter tour in Las Vegas, NV

If you want to visit Red Rock Canyon in a completely new way, I recommend a helicopter trip from Las Vegas , like this one . It departs from the city and ascends over the Strip and the surrounding desert before flying over to the fiery landscape of Red Rock Canyon.

You’ll be able to see the park’s scenic loop and hiking trails from above, as well as the full magnitude of its red sandstone formations and ancient geology. Best of all, the tour includes a private landing in a picturesque valley, where you’ll have a short break to enjoy the views and sip champagne.

This is a great option if you want to treat yourself and your partner to a romantic air tour. Plus, it’s a cheaper helicopter ride in Las Vegas , so you can have an incredible time without breaking the bank. And if you can, I suggest booking the sunset flight for the most magnificent views. For more options, check out our guide on the best Red Rock Canyon tours from Las Vegas .

• Price from : $239
• Duration : 2.5-3 hours
• Highlights : Helicopter flight over the Mojave Desert and Red Rock Canyon; private landing near Red Rock Canyon; champagne; optional sunset departure

My Las Vegas helicopter tour review

As you can see, there are all kinds of helicopter tours in Las Vegas , so I’m sure you’ll find an option that suits your trip and budget. Flying over Las Vegas in a sightseeing chopper is a totally unique experience that you’ll never forget, so I wholeheartedly recommend adding it to your itinerary.

During our 10-day road trip along the West Coast , we decided to take the Grand Celebration heli-tour , and it was a highlight of our trip. Not only were we able to see Sin City from above, but we also flew over the Grand Canyon’s West Rim. The aerial views of the canyon’s gorges and valleys were breathtaking, and we even got to land on the canyon floor for additional views.

We upgraded to the sunset helicopter ride over Las Vegas , and it was definitely worth it. Seeing the last bits of sunlight sparkling on the Strip was a beautiful sight and gave us a new perspective of the city. It was an exhilarating ride, and we felt safe the entire time. Our pilot was very professional and friendly, and she took the time to point out the main sights during our ride.

While there are several tour operators in the area, we love Papillon Helicopters in Las Vegas. They have over 50 years of experience, excellent rates, and an incredible safety record. Papillon is one of the most reputable Grand Canyon sightseeing companies, so keep them in mind if you’re thinking of taking a helicopter ride out of Las Vegas .

Making history: brightline west breaks ground on america’s first high-speed rail project connecting las vegas to southern california  , officials hammer the first spike commemorating the groundbreaking for brightline west.

LAS VEGAS (April 22, 2024)  – Today, Brightline West officially broke ground on the nation's first true high-speed rail system which will connect Las Vegas to Southern California. The 218-mile system will be constructed in the middle of the I-15 and is based on Brightline’s vision to connect city pairs that are too short to fly and too far to drive. Hailed as the greenest form of transportation in the world, Brightline West will run zero emission, fully electric trains capable of speeds of 200 miles per hour. Brightline West is a watershed project for high-speed rail in America and will establish the foundation for the creation of a new industry and supply chain. The project was recently awarded $3 billion in funding from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. The rest of the project will be privately funded and has received a total allocation of $3.5 billion in private activity bonds from USDOT.

The groundbreaking included remarks from U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Brightline Founder Wes Edens, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, Sen. Jacky Rosen, Senior Advisor to President Biden Steve Benjamin and Vince Saavedra of the Southern Nevada Building Trades. In addition, Nevada Reps. Dina Titus, Susie Lee and Steve Horsford and California Reps. Pete Aguilar and Norma Torres made remarks and joined the celebration. More than 600 people, including union representatives, project supporters and other state and local officials from California and Nevada, attended the event.

“People have been dreaming of high-speed rail in America for decades – and now, with billions of dollars of support made possible by President Biden’s historic infrastructure law, it’s finally happening,” said Secretary Buttigieg. “Partnering with state leaders and Brightline West, we’re writing a new chapter in our country’s transportation story that includes thousands of union jobs, new connections to better economic opportunity, less congestion on the roads, and less pollution in the air.”

“This is a historic project and a proud moment where we break ground on America’s first high-speed rail system and lay the foundation for a new industry,” said Wes Edens, Brightline founder. “Today is long overdue, but the blueprint we’ve created with Brightline will allow us to repeat this model in other city pairs around the country.”

CONSTRUCTION OF BRIGHTLINE WEST

Brightline West's rail system will span 218 miles and reach speeds of 200 mph. The route, which has full environmental clearance, will run within the median of the I-15 highway with zero grade crossings. The system will have stops in Las Vegas, Nev., as well as Victor Valley, Hesperia and Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

The privately led infrastructure project is one of the largest in the nation and will be constructed and operated by union labor. It will use 700,000 concrete rail ties, 2.2 million tons of ballast, and 63,000 tons of 100% American steel rail during construction. Upon completion, it will include 322 miles of overhead lines to power the trains and will include 3.4 million square feet of retaining walls. The project covers more than 160 structures including viaducts and bridges. Brightline West will be fully Buy America Compliant.

STATIONS AND FACILITIES

Brightline West will connect Southern California and Las Vegas in two hours or almost half the time as driving. The Las Vegas Station will be located near the iconic Las Vegas Strip, on a 110-acre property north of Blue Diamond Road between I-15 and Las Vegas Boulevard. The site provides convenient access to the Harry Reid International Airport, the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium. The station is approximately 80,000 square feet plus parking.

The Victor Valley Station in Apple Valley will be located on a 300-acre parcel southeast of Dale Evans Parkway and the I-15 interchange. The station is intended to offer a future connection to the High Desert Corridor and California High Speed Rail. The Victor Valley Station is approximately 20,000 square feet plus parking.

The Rancho Cucamonga Station will be located on a 5-acre property at the northwest corner of Milliken Avenue and Azusa Court near Ontario International Airport. The station will be co-located with existing multi-modal transportation options including California Metrolink, for seamless connectivity to Downtown Los Angeles and other locations in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The Rancho Cucamonga Station is approximately 80,000 square feet plus parking.

The Hesperia Station will be located within the I-15 median at the I-15/Joshua Street interchange and will function primarily as a local rail service for residents in the High Desert on select southbound morning and northbound evening weekday trains.

The Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) is a 200,000-square-foot building located on 238 acres in Sloan, Nev., and will be the base for daily maintenance and staging of trains. This site will also serve as one of two hubs for the maintenance of way operations and the operations control center. More than 100 permanent employees will report on a daily basis once operations begin and will serve as train crews, corridor maintenance crews, or operations control center teammates. A second maintenance of way facility will be located adjacent to the Apple Valley station.

The Las Vegas and Southern California travel market is one of the nation’s most attractive corridors with over 50 million trips between the region each year. Additionally, Las Vegas continues to attract visitors from around the world, with 4.7 million international travelers flying into the destination. The city dubs itself on being the world’s No. 1 meeting destination, welcoming nearly 6 million people to the Las Vegas Convention Center last year.

In California, approximately 17 million Southern California residents are within 25 miles of the Brightline West station sites. Studies show that one out of every three visits to Las Vegas come from Southern California.

ECONOMIC & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Brightline West's $12 billion infrastructure investment will create over $10 billion in economic impact for Nevada and California and will generate more than 35,000 jobs, including 10,000 direct union construction roles and 1,000 permanent operations and maintenance positions. The investment also includes over $800 million in improvements to the I-15 corridor and involves agreements with several unions for skilled labor. The project supports Nevada and California's climate goals by offering a no-emission mobility option that reduces greenhouse gasses by over 400,000 tons of CO2 annually – reducing vehicle miles traveled by more than 700 million each year and the equivalent of 16,000 short-haul flights. The company will also construct three wildlife overpasses, in partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Caltrans for the safe passage of native species, primarily the bighorn sheep.

BRIGHTLINE FLORIDA

Brightline’s first rail system in Florida connecting Miami to Orlando began initial service between its South Florida stations in 2018. In September 2023, Brightline’s Orlando station opened at Orlando International Airport, connecting South Florida to Central Florida. The company has plans to expand its system with future stops in Tampa, Florida’s Space Coast in Cocoa and the Treasure Coast in Stuart.

“Today, not only are we breaking ground on a historic high-speed rail project here in Nevada, we are breaking ground on thousands of good paying American jobs, union jobs.”  - Steve Benjamin, Senior Advisor to the President and Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement

“For decades, Nevadans heard about the promise of high-speed rail in our state, and I’m proud to have led the charge to secure the funding to make it a reality. Today’s groundbreaking is the beginning of a new era for southern Nevada -- creating thousands of good-paying union jobs, bringing in billions of dollars of economic development, enhancing tourism to the state, reducing traffic, and creating a more efficient and cleaner way to travel. This is a monumental step, and I’m glad to have worked across the aisle to make this project come true.”  - Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV)

“Having high-speed rail in Las Vegas will electrify our economy in Southern Nevada, and I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone today. This project is on track to create tens of thousands of good-paying union jobs while cutting down traffic on I-15, and I’ll keep working with the Biden Administration to get this done as quickly as possible and continue delivering easier and cleaner transportation options for everyone in Nevada.”  - Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)

“Today’s groundbreaking is a historic step in modernizing rail service in the United States. Californians driving between the Los Angeles region and Las Vegas often face heavy traffic, causing emissions that pollute the air in surrounding communities. The Brightline West Project will provide travelers with more options—helping Californians and visitors alike get to their final destination without facing gridlock on the road.”  - Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)

"High-speed rail in the Southwest has been a dream as far back as the nineties when Governor Bob Miller appointed me to the California-Nevada Super Speed Train Commission. As a senior Member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, I am honored to have helped write the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and secure $3 billion to turn that dream into a reality which will generate millions of dollars in tax revenue, reduce carbon emissions by easing traffic on Interstate 15, and create thousands of good-paying union jobs. I am proud to stand with advocates and transportation leaders as we break ground on the Brightline West project and look forward to welcoming high-speed passenger rail to Southern Nevada."  - Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-1)

“For decades, high-speed rail was just a dream in southern Nevada – but now, I’m beyond proud that we finally made it a reality. I worked across the aisle to help negotiate, craft, and ultimately pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law because I knew it would kickstart transformative projects like Brightline West that will stand the test of time. Together, we’re cutting down on traffic, boosting our tourism economy, and creating thousands of good-paying union jobs.”  - Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-3)

“I am proud to join Brightline West for the groundbreaking of this monumental project for Southern Nevada and the southwestern United States. By connecting Las Vegas to Southern California via high-speed rail, we will boost tourism, reduce congestion on the I-15 corridor, and create jobs. The impact on our local economy and the people of the Silver State will be tremendous. In my conversations with Secretary Buttigieg, Brightline West, and our Nevada labor leaders, I know that local workers and our Nevada small businesses will benefit from this transformational investment. This will be the nation's first true high-speed rail system, blazing a new path forward for our nation’s rail infrastructure, and we hope it will serve as a blueprint for fostering greater regional connections for many other cities across the country.  - Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-4)

“Brightline West’s groundbreaking today marks the construction of a dynamic high-speed rail system that will link Las Vegas, Hesperia, and Apple Valley to Rancho Cucamonga’s Metrolink Station, creating new jobs and fostering economic growth in California’s 23rd Congressional District. This convenient alternative to driving will reduce the number of cars on the road, decreasing emissions and reducing congestion in our High Desert communities. This is an exciting step and I look forward to the completion of this project.”  - Congressman Jay Obernolte (CA-23)

"Today's groundbreaking on the Brightline West high-speed rail project marks an incredible milestone in the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to fulfilling the promise of high-speed rail and emissions-free transportation across the country. As a longtime supporter of this project, I helped pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which has already invested over $3 billion to support the completion of this project. By increasing transportation options, spurring job creation and new economic opportunities, and improving our environment through cutting over 400,000 tons of carbon pollution each year, this project will be transformative to my district and all of Southern California for generations—particularly in and around the last stop in Rancho Cucamonga. With the goal of being operational in time for Los Angeles to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2028, I look forward to Brightline West facilitating travel for the millions visiting our region and elevating our 21st-century connectivity on the global stage."  - Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-28)

"As the Member of Congress that represents the City of Rancho Cucamonga and a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development, it is my honor to participate in breaking ground on one of the most highly anticipated high-speed rail projects in the country. We gathered today thanks to the Biden Administration's leadership, which enacted the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act to fund vital projects like this and transform our economy. The Brightline project is a stellar illustration of the power of successful public-private partnerships. Thanks to all the labor unions, Tribes, and wildlife advocates for their hard work, which brought this project to life. The bright line is fully electric and has zero emissions, which is excellent for our environment. I am eagerly anticipating the completion of this project in my district and look forward to seeing everyone there."  - Congresswoman Norma J. Torres (CA-35)

Construction starts on America’s first true high-speed passenger train, between Los Angeles and Las Vegas

Work is set to begin Monday on a $12 billion high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area, with officials projecting millions of ticket-buyers will be boarding trains by 2028.

Brightline West, whose sister company  already operates a fast train  between Miami and Orlando in Florida, aims to lay 218 miles (351 kilometers) of new track between a terminal to be built just south of the Las Vegas Strip and another new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Almost the full distance is to be built in the median of Interstate 15, with a station stop in San Bernardino County’s Victorville area.

In a statement, Brightline Holdings founder and Chairperson Wes Edens called the moment “the foundation for a new industry.”

Brightline aims to link other U.S. cities that are too near to each other for flying between them to make sense and too far for people to drive the distance, Edens said.

CEO Mike Reininger has said the goal is to have trains operating in time for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is scheduled to take part in Monday’s groundbreaking. Brightline received $6.5 billion in backing from the Biden administration , including a  $3 billion grant  from federal infrastructure funds and  approval to sell  another $2.5 billion in tax-exempt bonds. The company won federal authorization in 2020 to sell $1 billion in similar bonds.

The project is touted as the first true high-speed passenger rail line in the nation, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph (300 kph), comparable to  Japan’s Shinkansen  bullet trains.

The route between Vegas and L.A. is largely open space, with no convenient alternate to I-15. Brightline’s Southern California terminal will be at a commuter rail connection to downtown Los Angeles.

The  project outline  says electric-powered trains will cut the four-hour trip across the Mojave Desert to a little more than two hours. Forecasts are for 11 million one-way passengers per year, or some 30,000 per day, with fares well below airline travel costs. The trains will offer rest rooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales and the option to check luggage.

Las Vegas is a popular driving destination for Southern Californians. Officials hope the train line will relieve congestion on I-15, where motorists often sit in miles of crawling traffic while returning home from a Las Vegas weekend.

The Las Vegas area, now approaching 3 million residents, draws more than 40 million visitors per year. Passenger traffic at the city’s Harry Reid International Airport set a record of 57.6 million people in 2023. An average of more than  44,000 automobiles per day  crossed the California-Nevada state line on I-15 in 2023, according to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data.

Florida-based Brightline Holdings already operates the  Miami-to-Orlando line  with trains reaching speeds up to 125 mph (200 kph). It launched service in 2018 and expanded service to Orlando International Airport last September. It offers 16 round-trips per day, with one-way tickets for the 235-mile (378-kilometer) distance costing about $80.

Other fast trains in the U.S. include Amtrak’s Acela, which can top 150 mph (241 kph) while sharing tracks with freight and commuter service between Boston and Washington, D.C.

Ideas for connecting other U.S. cities with high-speed passenger trains have been floated in recent years, including  Dallas to Houston ;  Atlanta to Charlotte, North Carolina ; and  Chicago to St. Louis . Most have faced delays.

In California, voters in 2008 approved a proposed 500-mile (805-kilometer) rail line linking Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the plan has been beset by  rising costs and routing disputes . A 2022 business plan by the California High-Speed Rail Authority projected the  cost had more than tripled  to $105 billion.
