Travel information: Las Vegas fast facts A-Z

Read full article here...

 

Everything from embassies to emergency services, customs to currency

Addresses

Written addresses follow the standard US format. The room and/or suite number usually appears after the street address (where applicable), followed by the city name and the zip code. Note that Las Vegas Boulevard South is the official name of the Strip.

Age restrictions

Las Vegas is a carefree city of hedonism and wild abandon, but only if you’re old enough.

Admission to nude clubs: 18 (except Palomino)
Admission to topless clubs: 21
Buying/drinking alcohol: 21
Driving: 16
Gambling: 21
Marriage: 16 (with parental consent) or 18 (without)
Sex: 16 (heterosexual) or 18 (homosexual)

Attitude & etiquette

As a tourist city, Vegas is as formal or informal as you want it to be. During the warmer months, shorts and T-shirts are accepted wear along the Strip as well as on the gaming floors of most casinos, though dressing up to a minimum of smart-casual has become the norm. Some lounges and nightclubs have dress codes (sports shoes, T-shirts and jeans may be prohibited), and dining in some high-end restaurants can be formal.

Business

The climate and favourable tax structure have helped Nevada attract hundreds of companies to the city. But a stronger input into the Vegas economy comes from the six million business travellers who come to town each year for one of roughly 24,000 conventions. As a result, most major resorts offer excellent business services: faxing, copying and shipping services are standard; phone and computer hire is common, as are the presence of conference rooms; and in-room high-speed internet access is growing in popularity.
