The health and safety of guests and employees at Las Vegas resorts are the highest priority and most resorts are taking measures to combat the potential impacts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Most hotels have implemented temporary enhanced cleaning procedures and protocols. They include:
Placing hand sanitizer dispensing stations in high-traffic, visible areas such as entrances, exits, elevator landings, and hotel lobbies.
Increasing the frequency of disinfectant procedures, with focus on:
Faucets and toilet flush levers
Doorknobs and locks
Entrance and exit doors and door handles
Handrails
Slot machines handles and armrests
Elevator buttons
Light switches
Follow these guidance for prevention:
Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
Avoid close contact with people who are sick
Remember most Las Vegas hotel room reservation can be canceled or rebooked 72 hours prior to arrival without charge.
The first line of defense from theft in Las Vegas is being prepared and taking precautions. Consider the following safety tips:
Try to blend in with other Las Vegas tourists. No need to sport a kilt to show you are from Scotland or don a bowler to show you are from London, but consider what's appropriate attire for the local scene.
Leave valuables in the hotel safe (and crown jewels at home). Bring a list of your credit cards and company phone numbers for emergencies. If traveling as a couple, carry different credit cards in case a stolen/lost card needs to be canceled.
Backpacks, purses and computer cases are beacons of opportunity for thieves. Slinging your tote across your back is the universal sign for, "Please, steal this!" Wear your purse or satchel across your chest and secure it with a formidable grip.
Keep wallets in a buttoned or zipper-secured inner coat pocket.
Consider using a money belt or travel purse, the latter fitting under a blouse, shirt or coat.
Choose ATMs in well-lit, secure settings.
Beware of strangers or situations that could distract you. (Mimes have been known to work in pairs.) Beware of pick pockets at the Bellagio Fountains and Fremont Street.
Travel light. Wallets and purses should contain only items with which you need to travel. Leave the coupons, library card, car title, and wads of ATM receipts home.
