Las Vegas might be the most-hacked city in the country.
Well now the internet has one more guide to a town nicknamed after the concept of sin.
This week on Hack Your City,we asked for Vegas hacks from Lifehacker readers.
Here are the greatest hits.
Head out to Chinatown to eat.
Raku
is worth all the write-up it deserves.
Make a reservation a week before.
Readerapocryphaladds more Chinatown eats: Chada Thai, Sweets Raku, and Monta Noodle House.
Also Forte, for Russian and Eastern European tapas, especially the stroganoff.
Shameless plugmy sister in law owns it.
Take an Uber, though.
Or stay on the Strip:
Mixeddrinkschimes in: Bouchon in Venetian is the stand out for me.
More restaurants viaBoxingNerd:
Vegas has a really large Pacific islander community, so get some great Hawaiian grub.
Ross Js in Henderson is my favorite Hawaiian spot.
I cant recommend enough to try Bachi Burger.
But we still have a couple tips.
Just move over to Fremont Street and your money will last longer.
Learn craps at Sams Town, saysThats a porcupine, not a poop.
Attractions
You dont have to hang out at casinos to have fun.
Its amazing how many are real-world locations.
Im in love with the wholesome itinerary from reader Sprzout.
Limos are regulated to $80/hr for standard limos, and can hold up to 8.
Including the Pawn Stars shop.
Now that was an awesome $10 to spend!
The travel hacking starts as soon as you book your ticket into town.
I generally hit 20,000 steps per day at conferences, Ive learned to just wear sneakers the whole time.
Just slip the twenty into the same handful.
ALWAYS go on MGM or Cirque website.
They always have online deals, usually 2 for 1.
Also, tip the dealers, saysJohn Millers Right Testicle(Jesus, people!).
At least 5% is considered good form.
Ask your Uber driver, ask your concierge, ask your bartender.
BabylonSlimhas a few suggestions for high rollers.
For example: If youre going to gamble a substantial sum, visit the V.I.P.
Customer Service Desk at the hotel to negotiate a discount on your losses.
(If youre not, says Slim, try the ten-cent roulette at the El Cortez.)
If youre gambling, saysCfer, sign up for a players card Day 1.
(Most seasoned Vegas-goers know this).
Some require a room card to get in, some dont.
Get Out of the City
Vegas is a hub in the desert, saysdug deep.
Use it to explore.
Next time were headed to Vegas well do an overnight trip to the Grand Canyon.
Seriously, pick a direction and go.
Or, saysDavid, get high: Mt.
Charleston - About a 45 minute drive north on Highway 95.
I go almost yearly for work conferences, addsdamnthisburnershitsux.
Next week well get your advice on a diverse metropolitan area known mostly for its corrupt old white men.
That doesnt narrow it down much, huh.
