hey y'all it's Tanya and Dave your Las Vegas locals and gurus now how dangerous
is Las Vegas in 2023 and should you visit Vegas in 2023 well we get that question
a lot I'm talking from their friends that travel to Las Vegas families traveling to
Las Vegas and even a lot of ladies coming to Las Vegas for that solo trip like where can we
walk in Las Vegas and what places should we avoid well let's get into it [Music]
thank you
oh and if you're not already take a second hit that subscribe button
and that notification Bell so you don't miss some of the best Las Vegas content
out there as a matter of fact we have an incredible Facebook group called for the
love of Las Vegas a lot of people in that group sharing their pictures videos stories
and a lot of you really appreciate that One Stop Shop to Vegas so if you're not already
join the group links in the description box below all right now on to the video
we are currently standing here on the south side of the Las Vegas Strip in
front of Mandalay Bay now we're going to head north along the strip providing
safety tips and recommendations on places we think you may want to avoid
during your visit here to Las Vegas on this trip all the way through downtown
now despite some high profile incidents this past year both along the strip and downtown Las Vegas
is actually a pretty safe City it was ranked by Forbes as the 14th safest city in America
with populations above 300 000 and actually last year homicides declined eight percent from 2021.
that does not mean Las Vegas doesn't have neighborhoods with high crime rate areas
it does that we would recommend you as tourists should avoid the good news is you have very little
reason if any to visit them now we recommend especially for first-timers there's a lot to
see and do here in Las Vegas maybe just enjoy some of the attractions and sites on the strip
in downtown Fremont Street Experience but if you're going to wander off the Las Vegas Strip
or off the Fremont Street area we highly recommend jumping in an Uber oh and if you are a first timer
watching this we put together a jam-packed video full of things for you to do in Las Vegas that'll
make your trip here that much more enjoyable there's a link in the description box below
foreign [Music] Bay South down towards the iconic welcome to Las Vegas sign which by the
way if your first time to Las Vegas make sure to get that photo and get there early to avoid
the lines because as you can see here there's abandoned buildings in this area and we would
not venture too far off the strip in this end especially at night time we don't think it would
be very safe [Music] now a great way to get from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur take the tram let's go
this tram is free from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur runs daily I believe from 10
a.m to 12 a.m hey it's about to accelerate so why not save your
toesies the blocks here in Las Vegas can be quite long so enjoy a free tram ride
[Music]
all right no not too bad quick right now just a quick tip when you get into
this area the crowds are starting to pick up now just uh watch out for your
phone and your wallet and other belongings because there could be pickpockets around
walking the Las Vegas trip is generally very very safe especially daytime even
nighttime as well and maybe real late night after midnight or something might
get a bit sketchier but that's expected really at any place
[Music]
homeless population here in Las Vegas on the Strip as well as downtown a few different parts
of Las Vegas you might notice them as well either talking with themselves aggressively
or doing certain things that might draw attention we have yet to have any issues with them I think
the best way would be to just don't engage with them mind your business and move on
just like they're minding their business now the biggest risk while walking the strip is probably
the street Hustlers and falling for their scans and we just dropped a video highlighting 21 of
the most common stands in Las Vegas to watch out for we'll leave that in the description box below
[Music] so right now we're standing outside the Virgin hotel and casino on East Harmon now we
previously did a live stream at night from Virgin hotel to the Las Vegas Strip pier and we get this
question all the time do you feel safe walking from Virgin to the Las Vegas Strip on East Harmon
now it's a few blocks long quite a few blocks long and I would say during the day yes we feel
safe at night it gets a little bit more ominous so I'd be careful walking a night especially if
you're by yourself so our recommendation at night just drive now this area of East Harbin has a lot
of homeless encampments actually right behind me behind the fence so you can see quite a few
encampments and Tents almost living over there there's also a lot of the infamous tunnels of
Las Vegas you'll find entrances in this area as well so it's an area that you just want to
be careful it kind of said especially at night and just really quick the actually home of the
new formula one here in Las Vegas is actually going to be right down East Harmon on the way
towards the strip so that could have a really big impact on the safety of this area going forward
all this walking around rough neighborhood safe is making me hungry so where you taking us oh
you're fine for a hot dog and maybe a beer oh at the Classic Stage Door [Music] [Applause]
no you can't I am so stuffed up the two hot dogs and a beer now
this place has been here 55 years so they must be doing something right
hey welcome back on to the Las Vegas Strip so we're here down more in the northern end of
the Las Vegas strip down by the Resorts World now Northern ish because there's still a lot
more North to go now at night sometimes down here especially between here and the Strat it can get
a little sketchy even beyond the Strat and we get a lot of questions sometimes as far as is it safe
to go downtown well I think one it's a long way to go so you might want to try doing an Uber or a
lift but second it's really not that safe and you can find yourself getting lost and perhaps in some
sketchy areas you don't want to find yourself in now I will say this the Resorts World definitely
has changed the dynamic down here bringing more touries in this direction and the new
spontane blue behind me that's coming so it's going to be reshaping things down here on this
or the end of the strip but you still find little Hot Pockets you don't want to find
yourself walking in especially at night now if you're heading to the Strat we really should
point out one notorious neighborhood in Las Vegas that you should be aware of if you're going to the
strap make sure you're staying on the Strip if you actually walk behind the Strat away from the
strip you get into an area called Naked City and that place is quite frankly Infamous over
the years for high crime and really not that safe especially at night now it has improved
somewhat over the years but still we would not recommend walking in that area at night
foreign
so we were driving down the Las Vegas Boulevard kind of starting from Resorts World heading down
towards Fremont to kind of give you a sense in terms of what that looks like and how unsafe it
may be at night if you miss the wrong turn or head down the wrong block so it's kind of interesting
to see you can kind of see the transition from the Las Vegas Boulevard from one end to the next and
how quickly that can change from the Glamorous side of Las Vegas to the side you might want
to be careful heading down so we're down here on Fremont and one of the things we tell folks
is come on down and enjoy the downtown Fremont Street Experience it's very popular things have
really been picking up from the new hotels new activities and fun things to do there also the
East Fremont Street that they really have been picking up from awesome restaurants here downtown
some local favorite spots and we put together some great videos that you might want to check
out and we'll put the links in the description box below now while downtown Las Vegas is a lot
safer than it used to be the violent crime rate is still 98 higher than the national average
so as Tanya said it's a great place to come and visit the Fremont Street Experience in
East Fremont but just be cautious especially at night if you're going to wander off too
far from say the East Fremont Street area past Container Park on Fremont Street or heading over
towards 5 15 in that direction you can get into pockets of more dangerous areas so Clark County
and the city of Las Vegas to address the higher elevated crime that's been happening throughout
Las Vegas they put a curfew in place for anyone under the age of 18. so that curfew applies to
anyone under the age of 18 for the Las Vegas Strip as well as here in downtown if you want
more information on what that entails in the time of those curfews we highly recommend just
checking out the Las Vegas Police Department website as well as some of the government sites
[Music]
so we stopped into one of our little cool spots here called evil pie right on Fremont
Street because we are hungry after all this walking all day long why not stop
into a couple of cool places or this place here for a slice of pizza [Music]
foreign really quick if you don't know we have an incredible Facebook group called for the love of
Las Vegas there's a lot of people in that group they're sharing their stories their pictures
