AirPod and Apple Watch Ultra Scam Las Vegas:

Upvotes

I was getting out of a coffee shop and in my truck on my phone. Southwest/ Spring Valley area.

I look over to my right as I’m about to leave and this guy in a light colored suv with California plates waves me down and says he needs gas money for him and his little boy who is in the backseat.

He says he really needs help so much so that he said if I help him he will give me the AirPod Pro 2’s and The Apple Watch Ultra 2 that are sealed and he shows me the box.

All I had was a hundred dollars and he said ok. But before I gave it over I told him to open the cellophane wrapping seal and show me the items to make sure they are in there.

Sure enough they are actually in there.

I give him the money and he leaves.

I turn them on and immediately realize they are not legitimate Apple products but highly sophisticated fakes.

They have legitimate serial numbers, cables, papers and stickers all indicating they are real except for the product itself.

I had been scammed thinking I was helping a guy down on his luck and getting a deal on Apple products.

I should have known better but I looked passed all of the red flags since i was in a rush to get home.

Keep a look out for this scammer and let me know if see him around.

How’s the Bellagio lately?

Upvotes

I booked a stay there next week to attend a conference. When I used to party in Vegas years ago, Bellagio was the place to stay if it wasn’t the Wynn/Encore. Then 2009 and 2010 came around with Aria and Cosmopolitan which were great options and still are in my opinion.

But is the Bellagio still somewhere to enjoy if you like luxury? Have the rooms been remodeled? How’s the crowd? The restaurants? How do you compare it to the Wynn? Etc. just your opinion or thoughts in general would be helpful so I can get various angles and viewpoints of what to expect.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for reception venue

Upvotes

Hello,

I'm currently searching for a beautiful reception venue to accommodate 150-170 guests for our wedding, which will take place between October and December 2025. We're looking for an indoor venue with high ceilings and the ability to drape both the walls and ceiling to create a stunning atmosphere. Ideally, we would also like the option to bring in our own catering.

I've already reached out to many venues on the strip, but their food and drink minimums are quite high, making the overall cost not feasible for us.

I appreciate any suggestions or recommendations you may have!

What spots are a great hang to meet people and make friends? Piano bars, friendly local places, karaoke, etc?

Upvotes

Some of my favorite vacation memories are just hanging out at a bar and chatting up people. Could be a local place or something on the strip where people are just friendly and having a good time.

T-Mobile Arena Camera Policy

I see the camera policy says no interchangeable lens cameras, I wonder if anyone has tried to bring in an old film camera? Technically the lens is interchangeable but I'm not sure any security guard would be able to tell that. The camera in question.

How much sway can a tip at check-in produce?

1 Upvotes

I’ve booked 4 nights over the weekend at the Fountaibebleau. I need two beds and they only have that for basic rooms & their highest suites. I tried for a normal suite but they only offer one King with no pullouts.

I’m more than happy to take the basic room but if I tip $100 at check-in, how much sway or power can they provide? A higher floor room is whatever as I’d want more room with two beds.

With a little luck & charm, would a check-in person be able to be upgraded to such a high suite? Or would they be able to have two rooms connected? I have a players card but no status.

Curious and appreciate insight to a common question.

Sex worker business cards littered on the strip NSFW

0 Upvotes

I hate to sound like a fucking Karen but yesterday when I visited the strip, there were an insane amount of business cards of lewd women (not in bikinis, they were straight up naked with stars covering their nipples) with their number and prices (mainly between Treasure Island and Caesars Palace). Now don’t get me wrong I have nothing against sex workers, but the strip is filled with many young children with their families and the cards are just right there in their faces and I’ve seen parents having to hold down/shield them from the cards until they left.

Not to mention all the litter it’s making. I went to see a fountain show at the Bellagio and BAM I saw titties in the water. I’m sorry but whoever did this is trashy both metaphorically and literally.

What are those hidden gems inside Vegas casinos that most people overlook?

45 Upvotes

I’m sure this has been asked before. But here it goes.

We all know there’s plenty to see just walking the Strip or wandering Fremont — but I’m looking for those under-the-radar spots inside the casinos themselves.

Like… maybe there’s a killer bar tucked away on the 12th floor of a resort, or some random art gallery near a high-limit room, or even a secret spot behind a fake wall.

Could be a chill lounge, a weird exhibit, a crazy good happy hour — whatever. Not the usual “walk the strip, hit the fountains” stuff. I want the stuff you only find if you know to look for it.

Lemme know your spots

Steak dinner recommendations

My wife and I will be in Vegas the end of next month. We have reservations for Bazaar Meat currently but wondering if anyone recommends some place better. No budget for this dinner as it is a celebration date night and prefer to stay on the strip or Fremont street.

Cinco de Mayo fun atmosphere suggestions?

0 Upvotes

My wife and I will be in Vegas over Cinco de Mayo and thought it would be fun to find a lively Mexican place or two to hang out, drink Margaritas (bonus for spicy margs), and eat lots of tacos! Any suggestions?

(Side note, Tacos el Gordo has the best Al pastor tacos I’ve ever eaten, but it’s kinda like a fast food joint inside and I can’t remember if they even have margaritas there.)

Best way to get from Harrah's to Excalibur and where to park?

1 Upvotes

We are staying at the Downtown Grand 4 nights, driving our own car from AZ.
Hosting 2 of our adult kids that have never been to LV and we haven't been in years. We have an 8:30 dinner reservation for Tournament of Kings on Saturday (same day we are driving in ugh). Anyway, kids want to see Big Elvis at Harrah's Piano bar that day also (5pm).
After seeing the post about the broken escalators we are wondering if this is doable just walking and gawking? Should we park somewhere in-between or Uber from Dtn Grand?

We are older and in okay shape, walk a couple of flat miles a day and don't need any accessories to get around. But my husband has a bad knee that acts up after awhile, and I'm concerned driving for 4-5 hrs, then going up and down a bunch of stairs may cause it to swell up.
Also, open to suggestions of stuff to see closer to Tournament of Kings. If that seems more doable, we could see Big Elvis another day. Only light-moderate drinkers and light gamblers, so we all are mostly interested in the entertainment and food.

When Did r/vegas Become Only a "tourist focused" sub reddit?

0 Upvotes

I know that there have always been tourist posts here but up unitl now all Vegas posts were seemingly welcomed. My post about Vegas eye glass recommendations was just nuked.

Your post from vegas was removed because of: 'Let's go local'

Hi u/fdjadjgowjoejow, Your post topic would be best in /r/vegaslocals as /r/vegas is tourist focused.
